Title: Season of the Witch!!
Post by: Lord Clisto of York on November 28, 2010, 12:22:11 AM
Hail everyone,

 Some of you may have seen this trailer, but there is a new Nicolas Cage movie coming out this January 7th called "Season of the Witch". Looks pretty good with it being a medieval theme along with the supernatural. Here is the story line -

A medieval knight undertakes a mission pitting him against a devious witch and making him the last hope for the world against an ancient and dark force. His faith broken by years of battle as a crusader, Behmen returns to central Europe to find his homeland decimated by the Black Plague. While searching for food and supplies at the Palace at Marburg, Behmen and his trusted companion, Felson are apprehended and ordered by the dying Cardinal to deliver a young peasant girl - believed to be the witch responsible for the Plague - to a remote abbey where her powers can be destroyed. Behmen agrees to the assignment but only if the peasant girl is granted a fair trial. As he and five others set off on this dangerous journey, they realize with mounting dread that the cunning girl is no ordinary human, and that their mission will pit them against an evil that even in these dark times they never could have imagined.

I hope that this will be a better movie for Cage, as most of his movies seem to just fall FLAT! It sounds as if it might be good, but we will have to wait and see.

A lot were pretty good. Now, if he can just SAVE some money instead of spending it all on his bankruptcy.

Saw this one this weekend...and yeah.. I should have waited for DVD or for it to come to HBO.  The story just kind of fell flat, and if you went in with high hopes you would be severly disapointed.  I think we actually had more fun making fun of the movie after than actually watching the movie...   At least if I had watched it at home, I could add my own color commentary instead of remaining quiet and hoping for it to get better....

Great choice of photo. GLADIATOR remains one of Ridley Scott's BEST films with Russell Crowe and my fave!. I am still pissed Hans Zimmer did not win the Oscar for Original Score.

Oops, wrong movie!  :o
