Yes, and, as usual, the book is better, but the movie looks very good.

I'm hoping you're going to write a geneal Ecuador review or some destination ones.

Visually striking counts for something, even if the richness of the book (or I could say "books") doesn't transfer to screen. (Speaking of transfers, the transfer of images to DVD is excellent.)

The book... (Reply to this comment)
by Jaynrand
....has long been a favorite of mine. It helped to convince me how geography and environment could "make" a writer. Although the film wasn't quite a successful for me, I enjoyed having images to connect with the book, and it was amazing how Rawlings vivid imagination could take these circumstances and events and use them to create unforgettable stories. I like this movie a lot - and until this minute, had forgotten it completely. Thanks for reminding of it.

...on this one. Cross Creek makes its way on to "the list." Sounds right up my alley.

cheers, and best wishes for the New Year.

Stephen,

A little friendly competition never hurts. I followed your lead in writing a review on "Islands In the Stream." There's so little income share available in movies anyway, I don't think it's much of an issue. Nice job. Sheila

FAUN - Any of a group of rural deities represented as having the body of a man and the horns, ears, tail, and sometimes legs of a goat.

FAWN - A young deer.

I've wondered about this one since I saw Steenburgen in Dead of Winter and researched her for my review. SAY, isn't it 'fawn'? A faun I thought was something supernatural. I'll look it up.

Great review, btw.
