Slings and Arrows (2003)
Brilliant!
I can not praise this show enough. It portrays every character and situation with a cutting accuracy, which may seem ludicrous at first glance, but is actually not exaggerated in the slightest. A director who just doesn't care about the details, an actress who's the star of the show... and knows it. A holier-than-thou leading actress who's missing one thing- talent, a lonely understudy and a movie star trying to prove himself; what else can you ask for?
Paul Gross's performance is stunning, and for those of us who saw his 'Hamlet' (which he actually acted in at the alternate reality setting of the show- the Stratford Festival) laughter abounds. People who watch Slings and Arrows will laugh. Actors or Theatre Goers who watch Slings and Arrows will be rolling on the floor within seconds.
Two thumbs up and a standing ovation- Paul Gross, I applaud you to the very echo.
King Arthur (2004)
Guilty Pleasure
Intelligent? Not particularly. Well scripted? Funny enough, I suppose... Good actors? Good LOOKING actors.
That's basically all there is to this movie. For a fun flick, something to watch with a group of friends, hopefully with a LOT of sugar. I recommend this movie to teenagers everywhere, who've nothing better to do. I DO NOT recommend this movie to anyone who has a remote interest in seeing the legend brought to the screen. Other than the names, some of the places, and the stupid SWORD, the closest Arturius and his knights get to Camelot is that their carpenter had some revolutionary ideas about geometry.
Ending on a positive note- King Arthur succeeds on the level it is competing on. Overall enjoyable, a bit heavy on the blood... I liked it.
