Quote:As it is off topic, it is also out of period but watched Solomon Kane last night on dvd...brilliant! Not sure why this didn't get more advertising at the cinemas as it's a really good story, if a bit gruesome for a 15 certificate!
I saw it on an Amazon recommended list, and was attracted by the fact that the hero has the same surname as me! Then I found out that it was based on a Robert E. Howard story, and my interest grew. Add in Mark Anthony (Purefoy) from the series Rome, and I was definitely in for a purchase.
It's great - although I would agree a bit gruesome for a '15' - shows our age, Vindex! Look at the films which were '15' twenty years ago. IMHO, there's been a definite increase in the amount of tolerance of violence on our screens, big and small. No surprise really, is it?
