The King's Speech
Weinstein/Anchor Bay, $29.98; Blu-ray, $39.99
Perhaps it's no surprise that this stately English period film took Oscar's big prize –- the motion picture academy notoriously swoons for troubled monarchs. But director Tom Hooper's movie really is impeccably made and well acted, led as it is by Colin Firth's award-winning performance as King George VI. The movie follows his efforts to overcome a debilitating stammer with the help of a progressive therapist (played by Geoffrey Rush); screenwriter David Seidler and Hooper miss some fascinating historical and sociological tidbits in their efforts to turn "The King's Speech" into a piece of pop psychology, but the result is powerfully moving. The DVD and Blu-ray add a Hooper commentary and featurettes about the real people who inspired the film.
