Must admit I love Gladiator. One of my all-time favourite movies, despite having to suspend any expectations of realism. The music always gets to me and I end up crying my eyes out even after half a dozen views. :rolleyes: Would not want to watch Kingdom of Heaven again. I think I annoyed some other...

I loved the books when I was in my teens. I found them on my mother's bookshelf but they didn't stay there long enough to gather dust! :D Around the same time, I saw the films on tv (dubbed into German). Michele Mercier is a very good choice. Here are some more details on the first film. Oh my, did ...

Just started reading Rebellion by Nora Roberts. Her storylines are really good yet her constant jumps in POV can be irritating at times. Still, this started off well enough. Will see... :)

[quote=""boswellbaxter""]Love these--especially that first one with the big white cat.

I did a post for my blog: the reign of Richard III as told by Lolcats.[/quote]

[quote=""diamondlil""]I really enjoyed all three as well! There are reviews for all three books. Here's a link to the review thread for The White Mare [/quote] Just read the review of this.

Sorry, still playing catch up here (slowly :D ) so only just stumbled across this thread. Not sure if I'd want to see a film made of either one of the books or the series. Themes are so intertwined and complex between the various books that alot would have to be left out to fit the film timeframe, e...
