Strong performances all around

Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth are excellent in this historically-based film. Rush plays a flamboyant speech coach to Firth's less-than-confident Prince. Their interaction is fascinating and engaging.
Helena Bonham Carter, sadly, is relegated to longing, soulful looks, but her wardrobe is lovely.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

History can be gripping

This movie, based on a true story of survival, brings home the best and the worst of people living on the edge. It's not a feel-good movie; it's not a war story. It's a story of survival and all that entails.
We may complain that our houses are not big enough or that we don't have a new car, but we have more than rotten potato soup.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Excellent movie - Oscarworthy

Took me about 10 minutes to realize what was going on with the film -- before I was hooked! And I stayed hooked through the end.
Plot line started with "who wants to be a millionaire" then drifted into Jamal's background and how he came to where he was.
Excellent acting, script (much is subtitled) and visuals.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great adventure/fantasy flick

I think this was the best of the Batman movies. There were enough twists to make it interesting, and the special effects were great -- they didn't overwhelm the movie.
I got a little tired of the Joker popping up all over the place, and some of his dastardly deeds were predictable, but Heath Ledger did an excellent job.
Christian Bale is a hot Bruce Wayne, and I enjoyed Michael Caine as the droll Alfred.
