A Knight's Tale -

starring: Heath Ledger, Mark Addy, Paul Bettany

directed by: Brian Helgeland

rated: PG-13

plot: When his master meets an untimely demise, a young squire (Ledger) in 14th century France takes his identity, working his way up the jousting circuit, earning nobility that should be impossible for someone not nobly born. Why does he do it? He needs to take down an evil-doer, of course. (Mark Addy plays Ledger's assistant, best friend, and occasional "muscle". Another supporting character is scribe Geoffrey Chaucer, who will go on to write The Canterbury Tales. Sossamon plays Ledger's romantic interest).

- a truly "fun" romantic-action-comedy, the newcomer acting crew pull off a great job in this one. More of a "date" movie than Shrek, there are a couple of rear nudity scenes by the actor playing Chaucer, and there is some mild violence, but the language isn't too bad (that I remember). They had a rather "interesting" mix of modern music in the middle-ages setting.

Sounds like a couple of great movies Allen! Thanks for the info

blahblahblah...blahblahblahblahblah.........
oh.....blah.

really? I didn't get that out of the 2 movies, but I can see your point

I saw Shrek while I was on vacation (Not really vacation... More of a funeral, just don't know what else to call it), and after a week of saddness, that brought me to all smiles.

"Do you know the muffin man?"
"The muffin man?"
"Yes, the muffin man"

Hahaha... I loved the gingerbread cookie!

I agree Allen... Two thumbs up!
