I watched The Other Boleyn Girl last night. It was okay…The difficult part for me was accepting Natalie Portman as Anne and Eric Bana as Henry. And with ScarJo (who isn’t really as dominating as I expected) I just kept thinking of Girl with a Pearl Earring, a movie I really like.
Maybe because it has tons of episodes rather than a couple of hours, but The Tudors has solidified for me that in modern pop culture, I can only see Rhys Meyers as King Henry…and Natalie Dormer was equally brilliant and cunning as Anne.
If I wasn’t a fan of The Tudors, I definitely would have liked the movie more. Showtime, you sold me.
