Centurion

Magpie doesn't see many movies. He's a busy bird.

But he loves his fight action, and he loves his history, so he's been tracking the production of this British flick about the mystery of the 9th Legion, and looking forward to it.
Location work in Scotland, where the story happens - no CGI.
Apparently some subtle and open-ended commentary on the theme of an advanced military out of their depth in lands where war is fought by other rules, and the merits or otherwise of the motives behind such enterprises.



Magpie also likes Olga Kurylenko, who is in this flick.

  1. I'm looking forward to this flick as well, magpie. And I remember Ms. Kurylenko well from the craptacular film "Hitman": she's hotter when she's not bleeding.
