I only saw the first 15 minutes or so at a friends house what I saw didn't look too bad. One thing I noticed was King John the "Bad Guy" of the movie has a Monk executed for something. Which is a switch from the usual Hollywood crap of showing anyone that is religious as an evil person. I have heard it described as a sort of medieval 300.

Is it the same King John who lost much of Normandy?

Apparently this was King John circa 1215. (I was reading the reviews)

Didn't the king kidnap Isabel, thus angering Philip Augustus. I should remember all of this, as its quite interesting.

Praying for the dead is important. PM me if you need a cantor for the Requiem Mass of a deceased friend or family member. Have cassock and surplice, will travel. (Will also do weddings for a reasonable price.)

The great character actor Paul Giamatti plays King John himself. Man, I really like that guy! A terrific actor and a humble gentleman. Only fly in the ointment is that he is an Atheist.

Please pray for his conversion and that of his family. Many thanks in advance.
