Movie Review: The Other Boleyn Girl

The Other Boleyn Girl

Centuries have gone by, yet the story of Anne Boleyn carries on through books and films. Anne is noted as one of the most influential and important queen consort England ever had; however, not much has ever been said about her sister, the other Boleyn girl... until now.

”The Other Boleyn Girl” depicts the life of, Anne and Mary Boleyn who are driven by their ambitious Father and Uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King Henry VIII of England.

The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same title by British author Philippa Gregory stars Scarlett Johansson, Eric Bana and Natalie Portman.

Johansson takes on the role as Mary and we must say this is a softer side of the actress than what we usually see. Natalie Portman plays the vindictive Anne, whose sole intention is to become Queen of England. Natalie’s performance definitely stands out throughout the entire film while Eric Bana plays the arrogant and love stricken King Henry.

With one sister driven by ambition, the other by true affection, the Boleyn girls tear England apart. One message that the movie conveys clearly is to "be careful what you wish for."

"The Other Boleyn Girl” hits theatres Friday February 29, 2008 and it is a MUST SEE. Check out the trailer for the movie below.

Hello dear ladies and gentlemen! I would like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress) actually is a clone from original person, who has nothing with acting career. That clone was created illegally by using stolen biological material. Original person is very nice (not d**n sexy), most important - CHRISTIAN young lady! I'll tell you guys more, those clones (it's not only one) made in GERMANY - world leader manufacturer of humans clones, it is in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, North Bavaria, Mr. Helmut Kohl home town. You can not even imaging the scale of the cloning activity. But warning! Helmut Kohl clone staff 100% controlling all their clones spreading around the world, they are very accurate with that, some of them are still NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled clones, so be careful get close with clones you will be controlled as well. Think wise.. Apparently those clones are very actively shown on your website. This is just a warning, because original person is not happy about those images and video, rumors and etc., in that way it would be really nice if you try slow down that ''actress'' career development on your magazine, original Scarlett's parents will really appreciated that. Please do that, do not wait until FBI agent give you a call with questions. Please remember that original family did not authorize any activity with stolen biological materials, no matter what form it was created, it all need to be return back to original family control to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. If you ignore warning after this message, there can happen law suit.. Original Scarlett is not engage, by the way! Her close friend Serge G. P.S. H.R. 534, the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2003, was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on February 5, 2003. After discussion, it was passed on February 27 by a vote of 241-155. It now moves on to the Senate for consideration. This bill makes it unlawful for any person or entity to perform or participate in human cloning, or to ship or receive embryos produced by human cloning. The penalties are imprisonment of up to 10 years and fines of $1 million or more. These now join other nations as diverse as Norway, Australia, and Germany, which had already added cloning for any purpose to their criminal code. And in Germany where it carries a penalty of five years imprisonment they know a thing or two about unethical science.
