The quality of a costume drama is in inverse proportion to the amount of screen time devoted to watching people ride horses.

Funny, and probably somewhat true, but "Mansfield Park" was pretty good and I think they did some horse stuff, and "Emma" too- maybe there is an Austen exception?
There could be an Austen exception, but generally, if you're constantly showing people i transition from one manor of estate to the next, it's a sign of thinness.
Due to a recent Federal Trade Commission decision, I think it best to reveal that, yes, I receive free admission to most of the films that I review. This is the standard practice among film reviewers, and it does not affect my opinion. Unless noted otherwise, you should assume that I received free admission. I have never been on a junket and I do not plan to start. Although in the future, it is possible that I might decide to start interviewing actors, directors, etc.
