The King's Speech ( 2010 )

Prince Albert, Duke of York ( played by Colin Firth ) is doomed to become King of England , when his brother abdicates the throne . He does not know he is to become King , but as Prince he must still speak in public , which he is unable to do .

The Duchess of York ( Helena Bonham Carter ) thee ever faithful and supportive wife ( younger people know her as "Queen Mum" ) , seeks out the Lionel Logue ( Geoffrey Rush ) , a "Doctor" of Linguistics . After all others have failed .

Having taken on the Royal patient , much time is spend getting over the protocol , and enforcing the patient/doctor relationship .



As things start to unravel in the Royal household , Lionel Logue challenges Prince Albert , to become the man , stepping up to a destiny brought upon him by his brother's u-turn in life . Prince Albert does not take to the advice too well .

Eventually the two come to terms with each other , only to be challenged by Royal Politics .

The story speaks to two characters support to King George VI , speech therapist Lionel Logue and wife Queen Elizabeth . These two give great measure and success to the reign of King George VI , before and after he becomes King .

To speak for the acting and the directing , I should say the film deserves every award and nomination it has received , from the Toronto film Festival, BAFTA and the Oscars .

Look out for Albus Dumbledore, Michael Gambon as King George V .

I had plan on skipping this film , but a night out at a restaurant with my parents , led us off to the cinema ; and I let them pick the film .

The show is well worth the ticket price , and should be seen by all .

The lessons that rich people have problems too , and have to work to overcome them is lost by most of the population .



I did get lost sometimes , in short discussions about the Royal Family ; though i was aware of the Madness of King George III , the lost of Prince Albert's brother at age 13 , I had missed in my history reading . Yet it maybe the first film in a long time to make the Royal Family appear almost human , instead of the blue blood / aristocrats , portrait elsewhere .

The Warrior's Way ( 2010 )

THE WARRIOR'S WAY , written and directed by Snmgoo Lee is set against a unique background of an old west town, whose residents are all circus performers. This is a really fancinating idea which he did not use to the it's fullest potential as he seemed to want to be the Quentin Tarantino of the old west and gives us lots of GUTS and GLORY .

Again we get a Sexually repressed Ninja as the leading man . . . . . . . . . . . how the population of China passed a billion is a mystery .

Who would pass up the chance to be with a fiery , sexy and always breathlessKate Bosworth ? ? ?

Snmgoo Lee brings in the gang of outlaws in the typical way , with no circus man able to stand up to them . . . . . . . . . . . . who been watching too many old westerns ? ? ?

The Outlaws return and all hell breaks loose .

Finally some action , but then the ninjas show up and join in so , we are given everything . . . . . . . . . . . . . . six shooters , dynamite , snipers , swordfighting and ninjas floating through the air .

As he snubs the western audience he gives two endings , or is he having one for the west and one for the east . . . . I was left wondering .

This is an enjoyable filmif taken at face value . But , is comical in it's approach .
