I just watched Black Death. It was much better than I assumed but it was dark as fuck and left me feeling very cold. Everything about it was solid, a lot of surprisingly clever cinematography and great acting. I got into a weird fit of instantly regarding historical fiction films as crap after seeing Clash of the Titans, but this broke all those presumptions down. The woman who plays a spooky witch on Game of Thrones also appeared as such in this, seeing her playing off of Sean Beans resolute Christian soldier was actually very cool seeing as their characters never crossed paths in GoT.
Now I'm watching Centurion. Lots of hairless barbarians in the opening. I don't think hairless barbarians is historically accurate enough for me to sit through this entire movie.
