Samantha Morton has been cast as Mary Queen of Scots apparently, which is a rather good casting addition!I was dissapointed by Elizabeth as it was historically inaccurate in many places (I'm a Tudor buff who knows his [!@#$%^&*]!) but i'm hoping the sequel will be better. The Elizabeth/Mary dynamic is truly FASCINATING, these are two women that were so strong in their own ways. Whilst im not a huge admirer of Blanchett, her Elizabeth I portrayel was very good.

I'm hoping the sequel will satisfy my expectations.

U have me intrigued. R u a big fan of Cate's too?

Gotta watch a Cate movie tonight if i stay in!! I love her in the movie Bandits!! She cracks me up!!

She is great...loved her in The Gift.

Yes..do so. It is a 1997 release.

I watched The Talneted Mr. Ripley last night. I loved Cate in this movie. It was a supoorting role..but every scene she was in..she lit it up!! THis woman is NEVER boring!!

I watched Pushing Tin the other night!! Kind of a lame movie. The only good part was the Cate scenes. This woman never lets u down.
