DVD sale at Target.

I'm just writing to let you all know that the DVD sales at Target are so incredible. The movies are extremely cheap and very good. I managed to pick up more than a few films to watch. Right now, I just love the idea of watching DVDs, making popcorn and snuggling on the couch on balmy mid-week nights. It's definitely my guilty pleasure. For instance, I managed to pick up a fantastic reinterpretation of the Charlotte Bronte classic, Jane Eyre film starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, for just $9.

Watch it: Lost in Austen.

On the 4th of October at 7pm on channel ABC, a comical Jane Auten series 'Lost in Austen' will be televised. Quoted as "Delightfully witty" - The Times and "A dream of a show" - Mail on Sunday. This is a warm film which will gain laughter and enjoyment this Sunday night. Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper) is a devoted Jane Austen fan; often immersing herself into a world of dashing gents, elegant corsets and picturesque manor houses.
Unsatisfied with her life and relationship in modern day London, Amanda's ordinary existence is changed forever when she discovers Elizabeth Bennet (Gemma Arterton) alive in her bathroom and ends up replacing her in the very 'real' fictional world of Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
An all star cast brings Austen's classic characters to life in a cleverly modern context; with Hugh Bonneville as Mr Bennet and Alex Kingston as the irrepressible Mrs Bennet.

Watch it: The Young Victoria

Directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, The Young Victoria is a historical film based on the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria's rule and her enduring romance with Prince Albert. Featuring a spectacular cast, this dramatization is a glorious reminder of the origins of the English monarchy and the rules and powerplay evident in the royal system and political government. Queen Victoria is portrayed wonderfully by talented actress Emily Blunt, who gives it a subtle and fresh portrayal of this historical protagonist. This film is perfect for anyone with a love of history and a happy ending.
