So I just watched "The Young Victoria," with Emily Blunt, and it was quite kickass. Currently available on DVD, and it is worth the time.
If you didn't notice from the spotlight/shoutout of Matthew MacFayden, I like period dramas, especially ones that captivate the heart of the era and close with a happy ending.
This film did all of those things. Emily Blunt is crazy good in this role. She is quite fun to watch. I will be catching more of her movies as time goes by.
To sum up this film in two words: Well Done!
Other Unrelated Gossip:
Bernie Madoff is a jerk, and he is living the sweet life in jail. Crafty Bastard.
and Obama is still ticked at the Oil Spill recovery crew. If you are an international reader (USA had an oil spill!!)
