Yes, another "timely" post! Ok, so the Film Festival was in September...better late than never is my policy.
This year Marianne and I went to the Festival and saw two movies. The first was the Jane Austen Book Club. This is a great "chick flick". I'd have to say it was probably one of my favourite movies this year. I assume it will be out on video soon since it's been gone from the theatres for quite some time. I believe they only did a limited release to certain theatres and it never did come to our area.
The movie is about a group of people who start a book club and decide to read Jane Austen books. As they're reading the books, their lives begin to parallel those of the characters.
I was concerned about seeing the movie since I had not read any of Austen's books but it really didn't matter. I think if you have read them you will love it even more though.
We had a great time and once again I got my fill of celebrity sightings!

The adorable Jimmy Smits...who, when we were standing outside in line, would NOT under any circumstances roll down the window of his limo and give us just a little wave!

Maria Bello...who usually has blonde hair. I almost didn't recognize her.

Maggie Grace...who all you Lost fans should apparently recognize.

Kathy Baker (Picket Fences), Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy and Private Practice), Hugh Dancy and Jimmy Smits.

Part 2, Movie 2...To Be Continued...
