I understand "Lady Jane" is ending its short run this weekend, at least
here in LA.  I had the pleasure of catching it yesterday and reccomend
it highly -- especially to anyone who is interested in the history of the
time.  The title character is Lady Jane Grey, grand-daughter of Henry
VIII's sister Mary, and third in line for the throne (after Edward).
Through a conspiracy on the parts of her parents and father-in-law
(Dudley, Earl of Northumberland) she is crowned queen for 9 days
following the death of Edward.  The director is from the Royal
Shakespearean Theater and does a wonderful job with this story as a
romantic epic.  It was beautifully shot and the casting and acting
was well done.  My only complaint is that it was too long (~2 1/2 hours)
and could have been cut down a bit.  This is a good movie to see if you
can get to it before it leaves.
