Film critic Chuck Koplinski joins the Morning Show for this week's Friday Flicks and is reviewing both King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Norman. Ritchie is so adept that the film is compulsively watchable, but it's watchable in the same way as a massive train wreck or the slow-motion demolition of a high-rise. And since "Batman Begins" remains the template for origin-story reboots, "Legend of the Sword" doubles down on traumatized boys and gives Arthur martial-arts training sourced from the Far East (around the climax, Ritchie whips up some special-effects-enhanced sword fu). After his uncle, Vortigern (Jude Law), murders Arthur's father - the king - Vortigern claims the crown.
Legend of the Sword is leaning heavily on the Game of Thrones / medieval fantasy kick that everyone seems to be on, it's looking like the film won't have the same impact. It may not be yours, either. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, though Hunnam and Jude Law as the evil king who must defeated, ground the proceedings enough to make it watchable. After pulling the sword fro.
"There is a scene where he tries to pull out his sword and I get out there, he's got a spiky bit and he got a bit overly rambunctious with it and stabbed me in my six-pack but thankfully my six-pack was so strong I think his sword bent and I only got a little cut".
Coach Goes Shopping, Picks Up Stylish Rival Kate Spade For $2.4B
USA premium accessories giant Coach has confirmed the acquisition of Kate Spade for a total transaction value of $2.4bn. Those channels "can lead to meaningful brand deterioration over time", and Coach will cut back on both, Luis said.
"I had a eureka moment and the next time Guy brought it up, I said, "Do you know what pal, if you are so concerned about my physicality put me in a cage with all the chimpanzees that are auditioning against me and we'll have a little fight and whoever walks out of the room gets the role".
Aside from the lead roles, the character of The Mage (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) really stood out - even maybe outshone the males. #KingArthur arrives in theaters on May 12.
