Bleak House

It's U.S. run just ended and now Bleak House is out on DVD.



After being forced to read Charles Dickens in school, it's easy to overlook that the guy was a heck of a storyteller. And while I'm still bitter and angry at the hours I had to waste reading Great Expectations, I was on the edge of my seat watching this new BBC version of Bleak House, as it moved easily back and forth between suspenseful mystery... and wonderfully decadent soap opera. Plus it's got amazing performances from Scully and Wedge, errrrrr, Gillian Anderson and Denis Lawson.

Anyways, it's out on DVD now. Take my advice - add it to your rental queue. It is a TRIP.
