Queen Elizabeth versus the Spanish Armada. The Queen (Cate Blanchett) is resplendent - Philip II of Spain is lame and stupid. Enter Sir Walter Raleigh -half Tarzan, half Superman - kamikazes the Spanish fleet. Wooden dialogue - waste of seven quid.

Into the Wild - 2007 - Sean Penn
October 25, 2007 · 11 Comments
Most men like their money; the odd one prefers wild berries. Sean Penn brings to the silver screen the beguiling true story of ‘Alexander Supertramp’ who turned his back on civilisation, for a peripatetic and often penniless existence. Drawn out but beautifully shot with a soulful soundtrack. Therapy in celluloid.
