Almost forgot to subject you to my mini-review of Kingdom of Heaven.

(I do these things for therapy, so there's no use asking me to stop.)

Really beautiful portrayal of the period (gotta love Ridley Scott). Orlando Bloom underplayed his part (to my taste). Much rather watch Bloom than Crowe (who gives me a severe pain).

Noticed a few inaccuracies. Eg: Saracens packing tons of armor. Siege engines used mainly as anti-personnel weapons (typical Hollywood. Even so, it was a good deal more accurate than, for instance, that whacky Kostner Robin Hood movie, where the bad guys trundled some kind of catapult through the forest, sneaking up on Robin's camp while the good guys slept...).

Fun action movie. I enjoyed it.
