The Duchess 

PG-13, 2008

     This movie wasn't the most interesting movie I have ever seen, but it was very well done and worth the time to watch. The acting, costumes, story line and everything was great. I just felt trapped with the main character and wish there would have been some way to live happily then. I think that was one of the points of the movie, to show how women used to be treated. I highly recommend this movie to any who like historical dramas and women's issues in society. 

I wouldn't suggest this movie for anyone less than the age of 15, due to the mild sex scene between the Duchess and her out-of-wedlock lover. I don't consider this movie for immature audiences, due to the lack of interest I believe they would have for it.

Dangerous Beauty

R,1998

     I loved this movie. Great for romantics, though one has to keep an open mind concerning societal values. Love condemns and conquers. A story of tragedy and triumph. I recommend for anyone over the age of eighteen, or otherwise old enough to appreciate a movie with adult content.

A Classic

PG13, 2006

     Quite a long movie, but what a thrill to watch! I expected a movie about a giant ape, because I knew virtually nothing about this movie, and got a film concerning the tyranny of the real world with dinosaurs, humungous bees, and other huge special effects. I loved it not only for its superficial superiority as a movie, but also for all the implications concerning beastliness and beauty, psychology and tyranny, and the world we really live in. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who has the time to watch it.
