Robin Hood -- The One With Russell Crowe

Saw the latest Robin Hood on DVD -- from Netflix -- last night.  GREAT movie.  The most believable of the two or three that are out there.  Because it's a legendary tale, the movie makers could get away with the usual plot manipulation and stretching of the truth, but this was a great movie.  It's long.  However, I never noticed the time going by.  The soundtrack was beautiful and other than some of the fully orchestrated pieces, most of the songs were written for the period they were representing.  That gets a special note from me.  Other than a few familiar faces, the actors are obscure enough that you don't spend the whole movie trying to remember what other film they were in.  Over all?  Two humans and three cats stuck it out to the end, so that's four thumbs and--er, well--six paws up.
