KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ROCKS MY SOCKS!






Seldom have I emerged from a movie admiring the characters portrayed. But whoohoo, one man CAN make a difference - Balian of Ibelin rocks my socks! And so does Baldwin IV, the leprous king. It's based on a true story, by the way.. with lots of modifications of course. Men of character, unbending in the face of adversity.


And no, not because Orlando Bloom is handsome. Heh. He looked better blonde.

To all those who haven't seen the show: DO, DO, DO!
See trailers and screenshots here.

Notable quotes:
What man is a man who does not make the world better?


You are not what you were born, but what you have it in yourself to be.


Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
Be brave and upright; speak the truth; safeguard the helpless.
That is your oath.


Jerusalem is a Kingdom of conscience, or not at all.

so BAH to the fella in the cinema who complained that there was no great speech.
