Loved the imperial era of Great Britain, who took it upon themselves to chart (and conquer) the world. That makes this story of a grand adventure plausible and fun. A man’s life-long passion to find a treasure. This is a very good story told with epic flair and mystery – borderline great film. |

The Queen is a showcase of Helen Mirren’s acting prowess. The main story takes place during the time surrounding Diana’s death and the disdain of the royal family (except Charles) in being forced to deal with the ex-Royal. This turns out to be a terrific venue to showcase the queen’s stiff yet … |
