Every year we think we all have it figured out. Even before the votes have been cast we figure to know where the waters have shifted and must sit back idly waiting for the inevitable to occur. Those on the Oscar beat writing about it day-in and day-out...
Last year everyone was penciling in Shutter Island as one of the contenders for the expanded Best Picture slot. A safe bet, sight unseen, even as far back as May. It was pretty much a blank slate at that point with only Up and even Star Trek being...
We all know that one judge from the Olympics. The one deciding the medal fates on sports dependent not on actual time or scored points, who tends to lean towards their home country and lowball others. That is what BAFTA has been over the years. While many...
The nominations for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards have been announced and they have everyone saying the same four words - 'The Secret of Kells?' Yes, 'the animated story of the boy behind the famed Book of Kells' (as goes the IMDB synopsis) grabbed one...

TOTALLY ABSORBING, ACTORS EXCELLENT, AND AS A BONUS SOME INSIGHT INTO EUROPE, ITS RULERS, PRE-THE GREAT WAR. A FILM ONE CAN VIEW REPEATEDLY TO UNDERSTAND THE INTIMATE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PERSONAL AND ... NATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN AN AGING CONTINENT Full Review
Okay, I know a few of these reviews aren't good, and I suppose I can see someone unfamiliar with the history of the time period and political intrigues being a little like "what... 39;s going on?" The purpose of this movie is explicitly the developing love between Victoria and Albert. It is not meant to be a full history lesson. With that said... I LOVED IT! I am a history major, and had read plenty about Victoria and Albert, and all the political intrigues ranging from relations to other Royals to the troubles in British-Victorian India. As a history major I am well aware that there were slight poetic licenses taken, but the movie was true to the heart of the reality! There was great acting, and the film really delivered!!

Loved Emily Blunt in this movie. What a beautiful young actress!! She is developing her acting style wonderfully with each movie she makes. The costumes and makeup was excellent. After watching thi... s movie, it made me go home to check the history online for Queen Victoria. Hers and Prince Albert's love story is facinating. The movie was so very close to the history records. Full Review
Acivilwar Very well written, filmed and acted. Truly a two handkerchief movie. Terrific early nineteenth century setting, great close-up filming which helped show the emotions of the actors. Even two... really despicable "bad-guys." Blunt and Friend were amazingly believeable. I'll see it again. Great for any age. Full Review
