Season Of The Witch Movie Review


So I rewatched Season Of The Witch the other night, and it was... a little different from what I remember. 

Season Of The Witch takes place in the 14th century. When two crusaders leave the crusades and head back home, the have to help save Europe from a witch that people are suspecting of starting the plague.
So this movie stars, Nicolas Cage, and it's what you would about expect from a Nick Cage film. I was however, surprised to see that Claire Foy played the witch in this film. If her name doesn't ring a bell, she was in, Vampire Academy, The Crown, and the upcoming The Girl In The Spider's Web.
This movie had so much freaking promise, but it ended up falling flat in certain areas. There wasn't to much action in the film, or at least it doesn't feel like it. The action they do show is somewhat dull. The dialogue is clunky in certain areas, and it shows. The characters except for the main character and his friend, are underdeveloped. I find this to be very sad, because they really had so much promise to make such an interesting film!
I will admit that these kind of cheesy films hold a special place in my heart and I sometimes miss them and wish that more would be made. It can be fun to watch a mindless action adventure film now and again.
In the end, Season Of The Witch is an okay film that could have been something more. I would recommend watching it as a cheap rental when you want to see a movie that can be somewhat fun, but hey Nick Cage has been in stranger things than this.



final score: 2.7/5

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
