First and foremost, the "witch" living on the outskirts of the Pict community. Witch is a term ascribed by people following Christianity. I subscribe that the Picts were at this point in time, all very much Pagan. Witch would actually mean a good thing. Secondly, the usage of spoons in the witch's hut. The invention of spoons did not come along historically until much later in time. But if both of these inaccuracies were removed, there wouldn't be much of a reason to have Arienne the witch hanging out on the edge of the village waiting for the hero & company to show up.<br /><br />All in all, however, I enjoyed Centurion despite not having much of an affinity for men-in-skirts (gladiator) movies. I also like the Eagle, which is another movie about the legendary 9th Legion.POBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168672563971905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-20161741385878815512010-10-18T21:32:51.646-04:002010-10-18T21:32:51.646-04:00@CS: She is the best thing about the movie, and sh...@CS: She is the best thing about the movie, and she doesn't even talk!<br /><br />About the action, I thought it was serviceable. It didn't have that irresistable visceral quality that we found in 'The Descent', but I liked it enough.edgarchaputhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874108948902089501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-19096168188260751652010-10-17T17:35:47.089-04:002010-10-17T17:35:47.089-04:00Was not a fan of this film at all.

Kurylenko was the best thing about the film.Courtney Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045575858464121137noreply@blogger.com
