Covington Cross (1992)
This has to be one of the most underrated shows ever...
I'm so glad that I taped the series when it aired, It is always a good show to watch again, with the exception of the Robin of Sherwood series there has always been a shortage of good genre drama set in the middle ages. It had some genuinely funny moments with enough drama and fast paced action to keep you interested. I've often heard people refer to the show as the 90210 of the middle ages, i think that its a good description of the show but not in a derogates way of describing it but rather as a complement to the style of the show, if only it had gone as long as 90210.
Who ever decided to can this show made a big mistake...
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Clones was way better than Ep 3
while better than episode 1, this movie still sucked, way to much cgi in the opening battle and more new stupid robots and droids, sure it had a darker tone than the others but the writing was pretty bad.
whats with anakin being able to land half a spaceship, a space ship missing its engines at that, no one is wearing a safety belt but are all still on their feet after they crash land come on...
obi wan and anakin stand on a little platform a few feet over a sea of lava having a light sabre duel, why did they not faint or at least sweat from the heat. oh and then while he's on the ground wounded and further from the lava than on the platform anakin catches fire. give me a break.
padme gives birth to twins who she has the presence of mind to name but then dies of a broken heart, would any woman anyone reading this knows do such a thing rather than fight to live and raise that child?
ja ja binks makes a brief appearance, sadly not with a skewer through him and roasting over BBQ pit.
4/10
King Arthur (2004)
If you plan to watch this Movie I recommend the Directors Cut
The Directors Cut of this movie must be one of the best ever made. Most times you see a Directors Cut you might get an extra scene here bit of dialog's there and you ask yourself what was the point of shelling out the extra money to see basically the same movie, in the case of King Arthur, you haven't seen anything until you see the Directors Cut. So much more action in the battle sequences, more Saxons, also the original ending, was much cooler than the light airy fairy ending that it received. You got to see the reality of conflict. Seeing Arthur marry Guinevere what was the point, we all know they get married.
The theatrical version of the movie or (Arther Lite) as i now call it is OK, but the directors cut is better.
Also Keira Knightley kicked butt in this movie as Guinevere she was believable as a warrior in the battle scenes and a lady during the peaceful times.
I think I'll have to keep an eye out for more movies by Director Antoine Fuqua.
