Miscellaneous Movie Musings

In keeping with the royal turn of this thread, I finally saw 'The Queen' last night. Liked it, thought Helen Mirren was deserving of her Oscar, but the choice for Philip was odd. (Maybe he was chosen for his name- Cromwell...) I like James Cromwell, but I'm not sure he was right for the part. Charles comes across as odd and wimpy as I expect he is in real life, and the actor who played Blair did a decent job, although they laid on the 'everyman' a bit thick- I mean, does anyone believe Tony Blair does the dishes after dinner?
