That is the question. And I have the answer.
The movie to see is The Other Boleyn Girl, if you like historical fiction. I'm reading the book, and wanted to finish it before seeing the movie, but it didn't work out that way. I know it didn't get very good reviews, and I'm no movie critic so I won't analyze every aspect of the film. I just love movies like this, and I enjoyed every second of this one.
**Note to feminazis: You might want to sit this one out. Women weren't treated very well in the 16th century.
And now for the movie NOT to see. Vantage Point. After seeing the previews, I was convinced this would be fantastic. It wasn't. It sucked. It was about an assassination attempt on the President of the US, and it was approximately 90 minutes of punishment. The first hour or so was nothing more than a replay of the same ten minute scene, something like 5-6 different times from as many vantage points (hence the title, in case you didn't pick up on that). If I had been forced to watch that scene even one more time, I think I might have hung myself. This movie was full of implausible chase scenes and absurd coincidences, and there wasn't much of a plot. The motive of the attackers was never even fully explained, but by the time it was over, I really didn't care anymore.
