Yesterday I'd been surfing fandango.com to see what new movies were coming out, and when. Mandy and I have been dying to go see the new Elizabeth movie with Cate Blanchett and it just came out this past Friday.
I've been checking the mail every day looking for the credit card Mandy signed up for so that we have extra cash (Expensive medicine, food, and BILLS to pay for.) and we both want to wait until we get that to MAYBE see the Elizabeth movie in theaters.
Anyway, as I was saying...I was looking at the reviews for the Elizabeth movie (Wonderful reviews that say it's a must-see for people that like history. Good, because Mandy's a European History major and I'm a big Elizabeth lover.) and saw that the other Elizabeth movie (1998) that Blanchett had starred in was actually the movie before this new one. I remembered watching about the first 15 minutes of it a couple years ago, and decided to download it to watch before we saw the sequel.
Well, it was very good. The cinematography wasn't amazing of course, but I loved the historical realness to it. And Elizabeth is still, to this day, my absolute favourite monarch. I always find myself wishing I could be her - she is so like me, or vice versa.
