So if you know me at all you know how much I L.O.V.E Oscar Wilde. Last year a movie was made based on his novel "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" in Europe and it hasn't been released in the states yet and, until now, I haven't been able to find a decent copy online. Seriously though, I effing love this movie. Some of Wilde's best lines from the book are in here but it doesn't totally follow the story line. I always thought that it ended rather abruptly and this movie takes the story in a different place. It is pretty damn creepy too.
Oh wait, did I mention? Ben Barnes plays Dorian Gray. Yummy Yummy. Love him. It wasn't until this movie that I realized just how much he looks like William Beckett. Or, well, Beckett looks like him, he is older so I will give him that. Anyway, I want one for Christmas. (Ben or William, I'm not picky).
So yes, watch it. Let it corrupt your soul and if you haven't read the book yet you must do so or we will no longer be friends.
