The Crown: Olding (2019)
The ghost steps in
As a Norwegian with little or no in-depth knowledge of the Royal House,
Yes I have seen ses 1 and 2 twice and kind of know a little of The Queen.
This Olding episode is a peculiar one. It is taking place in about 1979, so I am led to believe...
The brown eyed ghost is having a premiere at the new stamps, in a few minutes an actress far away from Claire Foy
is showing some teeth, and a grin we never have seen from QE II
Misuse of an brilliant actress. She belongs in another premier league
Oh why couldnt we have Claire in sesion three?
So it would have been an beliveable tale of Royal House in the 60ies!
And indeed Vanessa who really portraied this era so fantastic!
10,000 BC (2008)
Prehistoric cave dwellers, mammoths building pyramids and a Smilodon chased by Roman stallions
I give this epic a bright 8
Just because it forced me too think, and do some research.
The prisoners were kept in iron cages forged with steel rivets, trained mammoths are used as workhorses at the Keops, and the movie starts here in Norway at the brim of Scandinavian ice sheet. This mixed up in an event which took a week to fulfill, think!
Thats a long walk, all the way down to Sahel area,where they suddenly meet masters of pyramids in action with their hunting prey used as mules by these priests.
If the movie were called 1000 BC, it could have made some sense, there is definitely some chronological misalignment here.
But a good story, a good film, perfect as a matinée before some serious movies, like Aliens....
