You know, I think the movie night gang’s managed to benefit …
A bit …
From a bit of a feck-up by Brentwood Library.
We managed to get hold of a copy of the Neil Marshall directed historical drama, Centurion a few days before its official release … !
Not that I think any of us were complaining.
Because I believe we’ve caught a good film, however it slipped through the net …
Really, Essex Council’s library service really should keep an eye on these things: that’s how copyright violators and video pirates get hold of these things, honestly.
But at any rate, I know that Movie Night Adrian, Kevin D and I — along with Squeaky and Big Josh — managed to catch it, tonight.
Seems Big Josh caught it early, too …
Cie La Vie …
Centurion is set in the Britain of of 117AD: loosely based on stories of the disappearance of Rome’s 9th Legion, it sees Quintus Dias — played by Michæl Fassbender — leading the last legionaries out of Caledonia after an disastrous attempted on Pictish tribes, north of what was to become Hadrian’s Wall.
And I’ve got to admit, Centurion is really worth watching: at least, it got me happily raving about it and Adrian rating it as “Hmmm … Entertaining!”
About the only hold-out was Kevin D, bless him, who’s still a touch undecided about it.
Over-all, though … ?
Two out of three isn’t bad …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
