Movie catch up.

I love netflix, but Alisa and I were a little slow on this one, so I am going to give a couple reviews to catch up.

King Arthur: ***. I really enjoyed this one. I had heard mixed reviews, mostly saying it was just okay, but then I caught a few minutes of it on cable a couple weeks ago, and thought, this looks okay. It was great. It has its weaknesses, biggest in my mind are 1. I don't buy for a second one of the final sword fights between the Saxon leader and Tristan 2. Why, oh why would you open the gate to Hadrian's wall and let the saxons in. Just throw your wode covered archers up on top of it, and fire away as the advance, duh. But, it was great. Ioan was Lancelot, the bad guy from Casino Royale that cries blood was Tristan. Good movie overall, recommended.

Bella: ** 1/2 to ***. This was a movie that Breanne did a post on a bit ago. I enjoyed it. Some parts were much better than others, it was fabulous at times, and at times a bit slow. The main character, the chef, was great. Some of the supporting cast I found uninteresting. On a whole it was a movie I enjoyed, it was sad, but does a good job laying out a compelling story of redemption. Worth your time to see, I believe.

Thanks for these. I don't know why King Arthur isn't on my radar. But, I will check it out.
