Movies I've Watched This Week

Last night I finally finished watching the documentary on Elizabeth I. It was kind of disappointing. I was hoping for more I guess. They ended with the English win over the Spanish Armada and didn't even tell us about the last years of her reign or who was king after she died leaving no natural heir. I guess I'll have to read a book about it.

I also watched Finding Neverland, the story of JM Barrie, the playwright who wrote Peter Pan. It was excellent. I highly recommend it for all ages. Johnny Depp has to be the most beautiful man in the entire world. I laughed, I cried and then cried some more. So make sure you have tissues on hand before hitting play on your DVD player. Kate Winslet was very good as were all the little boys who played her sons. The imaginary scenes merged so well with the real scenes that I often didn't notice when they left one for the other.

So I mailed those two back this morning. I still have Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett. I may watch that tonight seeing as there's still no Survivor. Next on my Netflix queue are: Birth (with Nicole Kidman) and the first disc of The History of Britain.
