well there is some boobies and a love scene. so mind that minors!!! its really a court case based in the 15thc. but the outfits are really done as are the props. we watched it with my old 15thc group and we stopped it when we could see how they made their clothes... heck i even saw my pewter goblet on the table!

I watched this and it wasn't too bad. It was an interesting story and I was pleased to see it had several of my favorite actors in it. :)

well there is some boobies and a love scene. so mind that minors!!! its really a court case based in the 15thc. but the outfits are really done as are the props. we watched it with my old 15thc group and we stopped it when we could see how they made their clothes... heck i even saw my pewter goblet on the table!

Ok, I'm convinced. I'll watch it.

Netflix uses a scale from 1 – 5 star icons to display a movie or show’s popularity ~ Methinks Sir Aiden uses a more risqué icon for his personal preference scale!  ;)

I watched The Advocate tonight. What a strange film! Reasonably well done though. The thing that made me chuckle was the opening text referring to 15th century France as the Dark Ages. :)

Well, that was, umm, an hour and a half. Redeeming quality was, overall, boobies. I'm farb enough I didn't notice the garb as being overly different from most other medieval movies (barring the fantasy horned helmets and such).
