The Green Knight: quests, tests and magic

26th September 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This is very spoilery about the ending — does Gawain die a hero’s death or live a long, boring life? — and his tests along the way. The actual ending is directly below, with more explanation further down. (My 4/5 review is here.) It’s deliberately ambiguous at the very end, as Gawain kneels in the… The Green Knight: quests, tests and magic Read More

The Green Knight 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

26th September 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Gawain, King Arthur’s headstrong nephew, embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic stranger and tester of men.  The Green Knight is about the making of legends, though by the end it looks very much as if a chivalric knight is just a sacrificial victim. It’s certainly relevant to us… The Green Knight Read More

“It’s just a flesh wound!” Separating Green Knight fact from fiction with Ralph Ineson

24th June 2021 by Sarah

Ineson plays the not-so-jolly green giant in David Lowery’s upcoming movie The Green Knight, which also stars Dev Patel as Sir Gawain. A24 have now released this short film Legends Never Die: An Oral History of ‘Sir Gawain and The Green Knight,’ narrated by Ineson — a crash course on the 14th century epic poem that… “It’s just a flesh wound!” Separating Green Knight fact from fiction with Ralph Ineson Read More

The Green Knight: verily thou should check out these images

12th May 2021 by Sarah

“Oh my god! Niiiice,” said my 9 year old when he saw me uploading these images. I agree with him, though I’m taking about Dev Patel, aka Sir Gawain, and he was probably admiring the horse. The Green Night is a twist on the famous Athurian legends, with Sir Gawain up against the Green Knight,… The Green Knight: verily thou should check out these images Read More

That is why a knight does does what he does.” From filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table, with Dev Patel starring as Sir Gawain. It’s… Heads up, the new trailer for The Green Knight has arrived Read More

Arthur and Merlin: Knights Of Camelot trailer

6th June 2020 by Sarah

Another tale of Arthur, Merlin and Camelot, though this time without high school battles [The Kid Who Would Be King] or David Beckham [King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword]. I do love King Arthur films, the less historically accurate the better. This time Arthur doesn’t look very kingly, though he does sound Welsh. In this… Arthur and Merlin: Knights Of Camelot trailer Read More

The Kid Who Would Be King 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th February 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This is a story of derring do and derring don’ts, as 12 year old Alex Elliott’s failure to adhere to the four points of the Chivalric Code almost cause our country’s downfall. We’re in enough trouble already, and about to be enslaved during an eclipse by King Arthur”s evil half-sister Morgana (a delightfully nasty Rebecca… The Kid Who Would Be King Read More

King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

19th May 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This a stunning film to look at, with gloomy, echoing Camelot, a castle perched on a high cliff, contrasting with the busy and bustling Londinium – where everyone is a petty criminal, mostly with a heart of gold. (Though the capital is really, really clean. Still, the Romans hadn’t been gone long, and say what you like about them, they made… King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword Read More

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. No Not John Wick, King Arthur Legend Of The Sword Trailer

22nd February 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Legend has it that when he wasn't defending ancient Britain from the marauding saxons King Arthur invented baseball

In Britain we don’t have John Wick. But we have King Arthur, who according to his biographer Geoffrey of Monmouth, once killed three men in a tavern with a quill pen. A fucking quill pen! He didn’t really. Or not in this version. In this retelling, Arthur’s father is killed by Vortigern, Arthur’s uncle, who seizes the throne…. The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
