We went to see The Queen today - about time! Helen Mirin was gret and I just love Stephen Frears' style of film making. I found it very odd to see a film about subjects who are still alive and dealing with a period of time that is so recent. I kept wondering of the Royal Family had seen it. And, boy that Prince Phillip is a dick (at least he was protrayed as one.)
We also got to see Music and Lyrics. There was a talker aand general mouth-noise maker in the theater for the first, intended, showing of The Queen and he would NOT shut up (and he was asked to). I was getting ready to walk out anyways when Chris got a page from work, so we left the theater so he could call while I complained. I didn't get much response from the theater people so I just took our own initiatinve and walked into another theater. Music and Lyrics was just starting and ended just as the Queen was starting again, so we got to see both.
Music and Lyrics was charming. Hugh Grant is charming, hot, woderful, hot - well, you get the idea. It was a nice, fun film and the opening and closing credits are great fun. It wasn't as predectable as I thought it would be - which was my biggest fear. I even laughed out loud at a few of the 80's jokes. Hugh is a master of the self depricating humor. I could watch him all day long.
