Started my pre-Oscar movie run and saw The Queen this weekend.
As expected, Helen Mirren was quite good (someone I know has an older relative from the U.K. who exclaimed after seeing it "Why I do believe that she is more like the Queen than the Queen!" Wink ).
For those who do not know, the film covers the events immediately following Diana's death. I found it intersting that the whole film essentially takes place in less than 5 days. Such a moment in time but something that, according to the film, changed people's views quite a bit (or at least had the potential to). The story is what it is- a character study and exercise in good casting- but I enjoyed it.

Ill be seeing this when it hits the Cheapy movies...
Im no fan of twitty British royalty...

With Diana gone I have lil interest in the rest of the blighters.but it does look good in previews.




Why is it easier to fool the masses than it is to convince them that they have been fooled...?

Saw this on dvd this last weekend and it was pretty good, though sad with all the Diana clips.

Same day i saw the movie, the Queenie was at the Kentucky Derby. Ya know, she didn't even sing "My Old Kentucky Home" with the crowd. How rude! But i betcha she drank herself silly with a buncha mint juleps and had some jockey brough back to her hotel suite so she could play "ride the filly" with!
