Movie Report--Kingdom of Heaven

Good Story

Not really historically accurate I'm told.

Pretty Princess.

Orlando Bloom, 50/50.

Sword play, etc. Been reading about real story, pretty interesting stuff.

No kuk's, but I did see some scimitars and Falchion?

Good Times.

I'd guess that they'd have to make some alterations for the audiences of today - things were handled a bit, er, differently back then.

You're right about it being a fascinating story though, if a bit gruesome. Thanks for the report.

I was wondering about that film. Sounds like it is worth a look based on your report.

Thanks 45-70

edit ~ did anyone see Life Aquatic w/ Bill Murray. Goofy movie, but it did have a khuk in it!

Gotta be the eyes.

Don't know about historical accuracy. Not a big deal for me. I mean it's Hollywood. The acting is passable. It's just a fun guy movie. I recommend it.

I don't know, it was the freckles I kept thinking about. Although the eyes did have something there...

I have to admit I think women in veils.....

Must talk to wife.

I hear it is no Braveheart. To many movies trying to "out do" Braveheart.

I don't think it tried.
