The Other Boleyn Girl

The Tudors - The Complete First Season
$42.99
"The Tudors" is unlike any television show ever broadcast. The series is wonderfully produced with a huge budget, the acting is worthy of Oscars, and the story, although told before, is presented here fresh and is excitingly original. This 10 episode series dramatizes the life of King Henry VIII of England and his attemmpts to have a male heir for his dynasty as well as the international problems that beset him. The first season details the King's attempts to divorce his wife, Katherine of Aragon, and his lust for Anne Boleyn. The series is racy with many explicit sex scenes, but what makes "The Tudors" work are its strong scripts and the acting by its leads, most notably Jonathan Rhys Meyers who portrays Henry not only as a hungry sexual predator, but a man who loves his country and his people. The series won many Emmy nominations, most notably one for Meyers, for his soaring portrayal. "The Tudors" is beautifully produced, with amazing costumes and sets that add to the lustre of the series. In all four seasons worth of episodes will been made with seasons 2 and 3 available on DVD (season 3 comes out on DVD in early 2010).

A very interesting take and much better than the recent US take starring Natalie Portman. For sure take the time to watch this little gem....

The Other Boleyn Girl (Movie Tie-In)
$16.00
I haven't read much historical fiction. What comes to mind recently is "The Terror" and "Pillars of the Earth" (both excellent). I would put this one in with those. This was one of the fastest-flowing, impossible-to-put-down stories I've read! The surprises and strange situations were endless but plausible. I won't go on about the premise of the story but this was a highly recommended read. The amazing part is that the facts are indeed true. I've already ordered the "Queen's Fool" which from what I understand is the next in order.
