COMMUNITY REVIEWS

slow movies not worth the effort submitted by ferdoble on August 2, 2011, 6:04pm Look, I'm not going to lie, i got these movies because i was curious what Helen Mirren looked like younger and to see if she started out as a brilliant actress or grew into one.

The movies are slow and I couldn't get through them.
