Hiya

Just wanted to cover a few odds and ends relating to yesterdays excitement.

Let’s start with a Variety review that bucks the recent trend. Instead of “crap film, great Nat” we have a positive review for Boleyn but this is what is said about Natalie:

Though she has the lynx-like eyes and ambition down pat, Portman doesn’t quite bring the necessary heft to make Anne a truly dominant power player, partly because she seems the least comfortable of the three non-Brit leads acting with acquired English accents.

Read the full review here. Thanks to Celiana.

The Hollywood Reporter is a bit tougher on the film but has praise for the girls:

Portman and Johansson are more than equal to the demands, but with a tougher-minded script they might have soared. Portman comes to grips with the sharpest lines, but she could have done so much more.

The tongues of British rags are wagging today about a red carpet kiss between Natalie and Scarlett. There is one photo which looks a bit suspicious but with a million photographers there its impossible to imagine that it wasn’t captured. Nevertheless, if you want to indulge the fantasy, here is what the Daily Mail had to say. Thanks to Jessica.

Next up is another good text interview with Natalie and Scarlett. No great revelations but a pretty good read all the same. Thanks to Fanatical610.

And finally, mms found videos from the premiere and the photocall.

Got some fanart and a new poll for next time. Till then.
