Queens and (K)Nights in DVD

More good DVD out today. The Queen not only brought an Oscar-winning performance from Helen Mirren as Elizabeth II, it's also an interesting look at the days following Princess Dianna's death from the royal perspective.

What if things in a museum came to life at night? Night at the Museum is a solid comedy that explores this what-if. Set in the Museum of Natural History in NYC. Good stuff!

I caught Night on a plane ride back from Virgin Gorda and it was solid (and probably much better if you were a kid).

I just rented The Good Shepard yesterday and am very interested to watch it this weekend as I missed in in the theaters.

The Good Shepherd should be a solid rental. Stock up on snacks, it's a little long.

I really enjoyed The Queen. I was just bummed that Helen Mirren edged out Meryl for the Oscar (not that she didn't deserve it).

Gotta say, as much as I love Meryl, Mirren's was the beter performance. Both women are such wonderful artists!

I agree with you about Helen Mirren's performance (I knew there was no way Meryl would win), I just love Meryl and always root for her.

Watch for her in Evening, the closing film of newport Film Festival this summer!
