...Duchess”—based on the biography of the same name by Amanda Foreman—does little to make the dazzling Georgiana of Devonshire stand out from the crowd. Like “Marie Antoinette” and “The Other Boleyn Girl,” “The Duchess” is a period film about a beautiful, young, aristocratic female trapped in an unhappy situation. This time, it’s a marriage with three people: Georgiana, her husband, and her husband’s live-in mistress. The Duchess Georgiana...
...discipline and, most importantly, stop cherry-picking the best films from their slates. In the earliest deals, studios withheld their biggest potential hits from the funds - Sony kept all earnings from its Spider-Man sequels, for example, while investors picked up the tabs for under-performers like The Other Boleyn Girl and RV.

...16th century England. Cuomo's fealty, however, crumbles in a most crucial aspect.

Even Judd Apatow and his goofball satyrs are taking a break. (The reigning producer of R-rated comedy has two movies opening toward the shank of the summer.) Fallible, ordinarily engaging, human-size, earthbound characters just don't measure up when the weather turns...
...movie adaptation of Philippa Gregory’s “The Other Boleyn Girl” is a far cry from the frivolous story of gossip, seduction, and intrigue on which it is based. Those looking for a romantic chick-flick will find themselves disappointed or even mildly disturbed. “The Other Boleyn Girl” examines the relationships destroyed, the hearts broken, and the lives taken under Henry VIII’s reign, and, from a more modern perspective, the commerce of women between upper-class families. The film, directed by Justin Chatwick, is as tragic...
