ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
Following on from 'Elizabeth' this sees her a more confident and assured, in firm control of her court, but still troubled by the bothersome Mary Queen of Scots and facing a war with Catholic Spain that few believe she will survive. "Elizabeth The Golden Age" is a beautifully lit, sumptuously dressed dogs dinner of a movie, a fine cast wasted on a shamelessly lazy script and created more in the style of a fashion shoot than a film. The old girl would probably love it mind, because Cate Blanchett

HITLER: THE RISE OF EVIL (2003)
Certification12 Our Rating
The somewhat sensationalist title belies what is at heart an earnest attempt to realistically portray the descent of Hitler into madness, paranoia and megalomania. While the recently made ‘Max' focused on the young Hitler from a ‘What Could've Been' angle, ‘Hitler: The Rise of Evil' tries admirably to stick to the facts as it traces his career in politics (as a rising star, darling of both the poor and the powered gentry), to his self-destructive end. While the film portrays a truncated view of
