I always enjoy watching Jamie Dornan. I really liked him in "The Fall," and equally enjoyed him in "The Tourist." I only saw one of the "Fifty Shades" movies and that was enough for me. It was ridiculous--however, I would love to see Jamie with high cheekbones again.

There was a lot of whispering in the movie. Kristen Stewart couldn't pull off this part or the accent. Why don't they ever hire a British actress for a British part? I can think of so many actresses who could have made this role work. However, Stewart did pull off the "sick" version of Diana. There was a lot of bad music in the film but the audience could feel Diana's loneliness and isolation. The movie was enttled "Spencer" and for good reason. Charles only had a few lines. Of course they couldn't have given him a bigger part because everyone knows how badly (and coldly) he treated Diana. By eliminating his part altogether we are supposed to feel a certain sympathy for him for having to deal with an immature, mentally-challenged wife. However, the real Diana was anything but--she went into the hospitals and spoke with the patients with AIDS when no one would go near them; she exposed the dangers of landmines in Africa; she was the president or patron of over 100 charities; she had a wicked sense of humor; and she was kind. None of those qualities came out in this movie. I sincerely hope they skip Charles and Camila when it comes time to hand over the crown. The Brits deserve better.

What was that bit about Jodie Foster announcing she wouldn't act again?
