3 Paws

I hate good movie trailers. All too often they get your hopes waaaaaaay up until you're finally seated in the darkness with your popcorn, where said hopes are then bashed all to hell before you're 15 minutes in. The trailer for Jane Erye - with all of its darkness and intrigue and clash of wills - seemed too good to be true. It wasn't.
If you're a fan of great filmmaking, make it a point to work this one into your schedule. Those Bronte sisters sure could put pen to paper, and director Cary Joji Fukunaga's take on one of the world's most popular books was gripping, spooky and just plain inspiring. I'll be on the lookout for more from Mia Wasikowska (Jane) and Michael Fassbender (Rochester), who - both separately and together on screen - were so compelling I was afraid to move for fear of missing something.
It has transfixed me quite.
Bonus Bones: 5
Not only was there a dog in this movie, but he had a name. Here's to Pilot, Rochester's friend and companion in times good, bad and more than a little bit cuckoo.
