Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights will be released on DVD in a few days in the UK and Film News is giving away three copies.
To win just send an email with HEIGHTS! in the subject line to comp@film-news.co.uk including your name, address and telephone number. Winners will be notified by phone/email.
The Kaya Scodelario Web is also giving away two copies of the DVD among UK residents. BrontëBlog readers have it easy as they have to answer who wrote Wuthering Heights.
All you have to do is send an email with your name, address, and answer the following question to tayna@kayascodelario.net :
Who wrote the novel, Wuthering Heights?
The competition will close on Wednesday, March 28th, when the winners will be drawn at random. Only one entry per person will be accepted and this is for UK residents only. Hopefully we will have other competitions in the future for international visitors.
Forbes on Michael Fassbender:
Michael Fassbender is great. His performance in Jane Eyre was phenomenal. He wasn’t half bad as Magneto either. I look forward to seeing him in this movie [Prometheus] as David, an advanced android who may or may not be as interesting as Rochester. (Erik Kain)
The Times of India features Brontëite Sonam Kapoor and her sister Rhea:
There was really no scope for sibling rivalry because they excelled at different things. "I was happiest sitting in my room with a book by Jane Austen or The Brontë sisters, eating cookies, while Rhea had her dolls," says Sonam, who also enjoys sports.
The Collegian reviews the student production of Polly Teale's Brontë at the California State University in Fresno:
This is a play that depends upon the acting ensemble for it to be effective and moving. There are many entrances, exits and several multiple roles, which were deftly performed by all.
Matthew Schlitz played a notable role of father Patrick Brontë, Mr. Brocklehurst and Rochester (both from “Jane Eyre”), Mr. Heger (Charlotte’s French tutor), and Arthur Bell Nicholls, with a variety of accents and costume changes that was truly masterful.
Also of note were Aaron McGee, in the roles of failed brother Branwell, Heathcliff (from “Wuthering Heights”) and Arthur Huntington (from Anne’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall”).
Huntington sparked in every scene he was in, and Kia Vassiliades as middle sister Emily, whose spirited performance as well as striking make-up change in the last scenes were captivating. (Stephen Keleher)
Abigails sports several governess gowns in well-known Brontë locations and Typing Tiara reviews April Lindner's Jane.
