The Queen - Lots of subtle humor. Lots of emotional attachment. I'm only twenty years old, so back when Princess Diana died I wasn't really affected (but I do remember it). Seeing some archive footage of her, and the thousands of flowers left outside Buckingham Palace, and how much people were attached to her, was all so overwhelming. Movies try to have emotional appeal fairly often by using real events or old news clips from television (Hi, Sept. 11), but this was the first time I ever felt a connection to the events without actually being there. That's a goal almost all movies want to achieve, but few manage to accomplish. Then, of course, Helen Mirren's performance. Spectacular. Hell, Michael Sheen was even good as Tony Blair. So many great scenes and so much lasting effect. Limited releases are lame, but if you get the chance, see this movie for sure. Rating: 9/10

Running With Scissors - Another movie released in 'Limited,' but don't go rushing out to see this one. Most of the funny moments are in the previews. There's only a few laughs not in the trailer, and it's quite disappointing. I understand it's based on memoirs, but Ryan Murphy was trying to do too much in this one movie. Rating: 6/10
