Review of The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) by Adam B — 27 Nov 2009

Henry VIII is the King of England who can't get an heir out of Catherine, so he arranges to marry into the Boleyn family through Ann and Mary. Juustin Chadwick's redo of the 2003 BBC production as Hollywood style period piece is somewhat lacking but entertaining.

Even Natalie Portman doesn't do all that bad. (You all know there aren't spoilers in period pieces and that Anne will be killed, right)? Eventually the whole thing leads to Anne losing her head, but the birth of Elizabeth, who will become the great Tudor queen of England in the 1600s will change English history.
