I am completely enamored with Jane Austen. I adore her novels, impatiently wait for screen adaptations and even devour "sequels" to her books written by other authors (check out my sidebar for some recommendations).
If you are also a fan you may be interested in a movie that comes out next week called "Becoming Jane". Of course, it's probably not at all historically accurate but I am a sucker for a period drama. If you live near a major city you may be able to go to a FREE screening . That sounds like a great "Girl's Night" activity to me. If you do go to see it, let me know what you think, OK?
And here's a little more eye candy for you....yum...
Oh, Mr Darcy! I do love you so...I love this version of Pride and Prejudice bec. of this guy, Colin Firth.

I have been waiting Becoming Jane months and months. Still I have to wait for a autumn to see it in Finland. I probably will order it before that from UK.
My recent Jane Austen DVD purchase was Northanger Abbey (2007).

One of my favorite movies!! BTW, I was disappointed as well with Me & Mr. Darcy. Sadly, it was one of the better books I read though while on vacation. I must make better book choices next time!!

This looks good. I'm a sucker for period movies too. Especially the fancy, pretty ones.

Just found your blog. Thanks for the eye candy! I love anything Austen - I've read quite a few of those "sequels". I just started reading "Mr. Darcy Takes Wife". Can't wait for this movie to come to Atlanta!

Just popped in after I don't know how mong and oh swoon!! ^_^ I have that version and can watch it over and over and over...same with Persuasion. I just saw that there is a new version on Persuasion (BBC) that will be available here in Jan.
I can't wait to see Becoming Jane. I've read that everyone hates Anne Hathaway's accent but I will see it anyway. Nothing could hold me back. :)
Sorry I get to be Jane obsessed here since no one in these parts share my addiction.
