KNIGHT'S TALE, A(2001)
A very entertaining movie, albeit a little long! The
music makes the movie! Definitely worth a watch or two
as I think it takes a couple of watchings to get a good
feel for the movie! B+
From IMDb.com:
William Thatcher (Heath Ledger) is a young squire with
skills for jousting. When the old knight dies, he sets
off with Roland (Mark Addy) and Wat (Alan Tudyk). On
the road, they encounter a naked Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul
Bettany) who would eventually write "The Canterbury
Tales". With no actually title, Thatcher fakes his
way into tournaments eventually facing the dreaded
Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell), and woos the maiden
Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon).
This is a fun movie. It's got action. Heath Ledger is
great. Everybody is having fun. The rock music is
pumping. It's the simple good triumph over
evil/underdog story. - SnoopyStyle
