I wanted to see it but I got called into to work over my holiday vacation and did not have time.

I do have the soundtrack.

I saw “The King’s Speech.” An excellent, heart-warming movie about a brave man and a nation that rises to the ultimate challenge. Language occasionally gets a little raw, but never gratuitously, and there’s no soft-core porn or left-wing propaganda in it. It’s a great date movie if your date’s interest goes beyond vampires and femmy teen heartthrobs.

Yes, great movie. Very enjoyable.

The King (Colin Firth) is watching a newsreel clip of Hitler ranting about something, turns to an aide and says, “I don’t know [what he’s saying] but he seems to be saying it rather well.”

No but it looks pretty good. Reminds me of those Merchant-Ivory movies from the ‘80s.

Saw it. One of the best movies I have seen this year.

They took a few liberties with the facts on some minor matters but all in all a well done historical film. No nudity, sex is mentioned only obliquely and no violence. Language in a couple of places is raw but it is necessary to the plot. I have no idea why it got a R rating.

It was, as my niece would say, a thundering good story!
