The Other Boleyn Girl is Hot.

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2015)

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008): Dir: Justin Chadwick / Cast: Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Jim Sturges, Eric Bana, Kristin Scott Thomas: Historic film about lust and curiosity regarding Henry VIII's adulterous affair with two women who happen to be sisters. Mary Boleyn ends up pregnant but the King lusts for her sister Anne. Anne's jealousy and hunger for power predictably lead to dark consequences. It seems as if Anne is pregnant three times within fifteen minutes. Director Justin Chadwick is backed with terrific art direction. Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson are fetching and it is truly a pleasure to witness the two perform together. Portman as Anne is driven by greed and power going to great length to ensure her place but met with extreme and fatal consequences. Johansson is more focused despite being played by higher powers. Despite the fact that her children were pleasing, her final decision makes her the strongest character in the film. Jim Sturges plays their brother caught in a dire predicament that bares consequence and perhaps the audiences greatest sympathy. Eric Bana plays Henry VIII driven by lust and greed with two beautiful sisters at his disposal. Kristin Scott Thomas makes an appearance as one of the more adult roles of Elizabeth Boleyn, a countess. Not the easiest film to view but it does convey the consequences of sinful actions. Score: 8 / 10
