Take a trip back in time - and return to the classroom - while you prepare for "Bright Star," a film about John Keats' short life. It also focuses on his love for Fanny Brawne and how the two develop their relationship. This film has recently received great reviews at the Toronto Film Festival. "Bright Star" was directed by Jane Campion, who was also responsible for "The Piano." It is set to open in Manhattan first, but in the meantime, anyone can cozy up with their favorite British author by watching these past movies. Jane Austen fans will enjoy the BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice." Colin Firth plays a dashing Mr. Darcy, and this role was even the inspiration for his casting as Mark Darcy in "Bridget Jones' Diary." Austen's classic comes as a three-disc set and includes a deluxe illustrated book for fans and a behind-the-scenes featurette for a closer look into the filming. If Peter Pan was your favorite childhood story, you can learn more about playwright J.M. Barrie's work as an adult. Pick up a copy of "Finding Neverland" with Johnny Depp as Barrie. Kate Winslet plays Sylvia Llewlyn Davies - Barrie's friend and the woman whose children inspired the tale.
