Warning: Don't Watch Romantic Love Movies When You Have Your Period Unless You're Wishing To Become Manically Depressed.

I rented Becoming Jane in my hotel room the other night. And it's that time of the month. Bad idea. Firstly, the movie is not only beautiful visually, but the INSANE chemistry between my new obsession, extremely cute Scot James McAvoy (In the recent Atonement), and Anne Hathaway is so fierce, so intense, it makes you cry and yelp in wonder as to why you aren't involved in an 18th century love affair not approved by your parents nor society. I laughed. I sobbed. I dried my eyes. I sobbed some more. Why I chose to do this to myself when I hit the big blinking yellow PURCHASE button I will never know. But I surely don't regret it. Call it self-torture, if you will.

Let me just say: if you haven't seen it already- rent this movie. Pre-order it on Amazon immediately. You will be changed. Yes it's a romantic period piece with a girl who played Anna Wintour's faux assistant but she is SO GREAT in this movie, SO BELIEVEABLE...not to mention Mr. McAvoy is just...delish and way better than she is (sorry, Anne). He makes the movie. His eyes sparkle, he's devilish, he's boyishly cute....my friends and I swoon at the thought of him. He is the epitome of knight in shining armour, even if he doesn't have enough money to propose marriage to dear 'ol Jane. It's surely not The Last King of Scotland, but it's great and girly and relateable and you'll love it.

Alright enough rambling, you get my point. So go...off to Amazon little chickies! Just remember, like I warned you: don't watch this movie if you happen to be overly emotional and craving chocolate unless you have a thing for weeping uncontrollably into a box of Kleenex for 2 hours. Then again, they don't call it PMS for nothing- indulge in your over-the-top emotions and call all your girlfriends over.

ENJOY!
