Becoming Jane

Not likely to go and see it but I did notice something in the TV ad for it. The heroine, of the movie, is seen playing cricket. I think she should have been playing Baseball. In Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey one of the characters used to play it in her tomboy years.

As many authors tend to write about things they know about it is probable that Jane would have played Baseball herself.
 
I saw it, it was good but nothing brilliant. Good acting all round and I cried a little at the end. I really didn't like the beginning as they kept imitating Austen's stories and I understand why they did that but I found it quite boring. When the relationship between her and McAvoy got going it got far better.
 
Was dragged along by Mrs Tommo to watch this last week. Now i go to the cinema a lot to watch to loaRAB of stuff but i did a first while watching this, i fell asleep!! One of the most boring film's i've ever seen. Not my type of film i must say but i don't mind period drama's usually. Even Mrs Tommo who loves Jane Austen found it tedious. Thought Bewitched was the worst film i'd ever seen, not anymore.
