A Better Choice is Anne of the Thousand Days [Posted on 2008-08-22]
Forget buying The Other Boelyn. A better choice is Anne of the Thousand Days. The story is told with a far superior script, and cinematography. Richard Burton as King Henry VIII is outstanding. Eric Bana's performance pale's in comparison. An extra reason is that the outstanding movie Mary, Queen of Scots is included on a second DVD. It is a real bargain.

Okay, but see HBO's the Tudors for real drama. [Posted on 2008-08-22]
The drama was weak compared to the Henry VIII story line in HBO's the Tudors. In this story, Henry visits the Boleyns, falls off his horse in a ride with Ann (NP), injuries nursed by recently married untitled mans wife Mary(SJ) who is then asked to come to court (gives husband job), takes Mary to his bed, she eventually becomes pregnant and Henry's eye continues to wonder (to Ann) who teases Henry with flirts yet rejects his gifts. It glosses over the separation of England from the Roman Catholic Church as well as the religious and political turmoil, and treasonous plots other than adultry and thus becomes boring. Ok for a 2 hour rent.

Pretty Good [Posted on 2008-08-28]
Saw this at the theater, first. Not too bad. Good to see natalie Portman has started to act. her amadala was, to be honest, pretty plastic. Scarlet Johansson was good. She has a much better range than Portman. The Henry VIII actor should have been chosen to look a bit more like Henry. Also, the presence of the English King was a bit weak.

THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL [Posted on 2008-08-29]
GREAT DVD. ON AMAZON YOU CAN GET IT AT A FRACTION OF THE ORIGINAL COST.

Henry VIII [Posted on 2008-09-01]
Good period piece, exceptional costuming, sets.Good Story, but had difficulty picturing Natalie Portman in the role as the deceitful sister.
