The Woman in White,1982 movie
“The Woman in White,” 1982, mini-series is perhaps one of the best adaptations of the Wilkie Collins mystery novel. Mini-series, in my opinion, is the best way to film Victorian classics: you don’t have to cram a huge book in a one and a half hour movie and therefore …

Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015 drama movie)
“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.

Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
