Drive Thru Reviews

Elizabeth I - Part 1 of the HBO miniseries, starring Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons. I'm still trying to find time to watch Part 2 On Demand, but I couldn't wait to say how much I really loved this. It reminded me a lot of The Lion in Winter, with two acting giants commanding the screen and our attention. Helen Mirren is in practically every scene and turns in an acting tour de force as the complex queen.

Ringers: Lord of the Fans - This one was a bit of a disappointment for me. It's nothing new under the sun as far as fan documentaries go, and the transitional animation and graphics were highly distracting. Trekkies did it before and did it better.

March of the Penguins - A beautiful film.
