I went and saw it 3 times in theatres. It was so good that I thought I would have to purchase the DVD but instead I went to DISH Online and watched it. As a DISH subscriber and employee I can tell DISH Online has thousands of movies to choose from; awesome stuff. I would recommend DISH Online or DISH Network service to anyone interested in the latest technology and lowest prices on the market. http://www.besttvforme.com/chrisnetworknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-28000269789186851542011-05-13T10:51:24.603-07:002011-05-13T10:51:24.603-07:00Your alleged historical sources sound far more int...Your alleged historical sources sound far more interesting than the movie itself.

Mary I was Elizabeth's older half-sister and was called "Bloody Mary" due to her intolerance of religious reformation during her reign prior to Elizabeth's. Mary Queen of Scots was Elizabeth's cousin, and she never ruled England, although she was next in line for the throne before Elizabeth had her beheaded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-76492307981169560492010-03-10T15:28:28.330-08:002010-03-10T15:28:28.330-08:00Ugh...this movie was horrible.

At the end of the day this is supposed to be and entertaining movie to capture the imagination. It simply wasn’t – the grumbles from the kids as they left the cinema said it all. Everyone I heard discussing it felt really disappointed. I loved the cinematography but the storyline and depth of characters were just no up to scratch. Shame really.Licentia ut docuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253281239689838869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-47510462232341428722010-03-08T20:59:57.126-08:002010-03-08T20:59:57.126-08:00Your alleged historical sources sound far more int...Your alleged historical sources sound far more interesting than the movie itself.

But you have to know something about the historical points of reference that underpin its allegory of female self-cultivation in a world intoxicated with masculine heroism. you need to know why the Red and White queen are patternded after Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. You need to know why Alice's last name is Kingsley and her father's name is Charles. You have to know who Charles Kingsley was and what the movement he propounded, muscular Christianity was all about. You need to know so many things about English history, myth, and literature and this reviewer sadly knows none of them. His critique of the film is an unwitting confession of a profound and pitiful ignorance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-20686692373233064412010-03-07T16:58:41.157-08:002010-03-07T16:58:41.157-08:00You are probably the most narrow minded idiot I...You are probably the most narrow minded idiot I've ever read (regretted reading) if somethings not every other film you act as if it's trash, movies don't have to be shallow think they're real world experiences, this movie expressed more than any number of shallow idiots can ever possibly take away with their bullshit reviews.
