Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Elizabeth: The Golden Age is another Oscar nominated movie I have recently watched. Cate Blanchett revises her role as Queen Elizabeth I, now middle aged and right smack in the middle of her rule. Cate has been nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role and I can say she really does shine if the same role she was in almost ten years ago. I have always been a big fan of period pieces and I am in awe of Cate’s acting abilities. There are not many actors or actresses who I can say are true stars, but Ms. Blanchett is one of them. There is no other actress I can see playing Queen Elizabeth with such incredible emotion and skill. She is the reason to watch this movie.

Oooo! Thanks for the reminder!! I've got all of next weekend completely to myself and I want to watch this. I loved the first movie and have been looking forward to this one.
Have you read "The Virgin's Lover" by Philippa Gregory? Great book and I couldn't help but picture Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth and Joseph Fiennes as Robert Dudley. lol
BTW - I totally agree with your assessment of Miss Blanchett!
I have to see this. I'm bummed I never made it to the theater to see it. Thanks Kristie.
I have the first "Elizabeth" in my Q, and I definitely want to see this one - I love how tough her character is. Great review!
Katie(babs)~You know who loves this movie and called from his hotel room to tell me how upset he was? My old man. I was slack jawed that he was watching the oscars, never mind that he had an oppinion. Heh.
Nicely done.
