Two days ago I went to Rave Theaters with Scott and Miah and we saw “The Kings Speech” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1504320/). This movie was fantastic. I was drawn in by Colin Firth’s portrayal of King George VI and Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue. There were quite a number of supporting cast members that were very welcome on the silver screen, most notably for me is Derek Jacobi, who played the Archbishop of Canterbury. Helena Bonham Carter played Queen Elizabeth but unfortunately for her I was constantly expecting her to either scream like Mrs. Lovett in Sweeny Todd or as Bellatrix Lestrange in the HP movies. I fear she may always be tainted by the image of her being a raving lunatic. Each time she came on-screen I half expected her to either be playing around with razors or screaming curses with a wand.

The movie itself is well constructed, the score was wonderful and the acting was top-notch. If it is playing near you, and you enjoy some seriously good cinema I highly recommend it. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars, and I could not put my finger on anything that I found wrong or troubling. I think it may win Colin Firth an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Role.
