It’s also jarring and depressing to understand that the United States still has not taken enough meaningful steps to stop this deepening crisis and even went backwards during the last four years.
With the West Coast constantly on fire, the East Coast in danger of slipping beneath the Atlantic Ocean, and the rest of the country subject to extreme weather events on a constant basis, it’s a damn shame to realize that this powerful documentary-in which former Vice President Al Gore travels the country, speaking out about the dangers of climate change-is as necessary and vital as ever. And as Will, Ledger once again only hints at the deep reservoirs of talent and charisma we never saw fully realized.
However, in truth this is really a ‘90s sports movie with all the clichés and trappings that entails-a fact the movie wears on its green sleeves.Īs a film which begins with Queen music playing in Ye Olde England as crowds clap in beat with Freddie Mercury’s vocals, the film is a balancing act that somehow looks effortless in no small part because of its winsome cast, including Shannyn Sossamon, Mark Addy, Rufus Sewell, and a scene-stealing Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer, the famed poet and surprise wingman to Ledger’s Will Thatcher. It stars Heath Ledger in one of his early heartthrob roles as a squire who pretends he’s a knight to compete in jousting tournaments around England. In the grand tradition of The Princess Bride and Stardust (although this came out before the latter), Brian Helgeland’s A Knight’s Tale is an anachronistic fairy tale that works better than it has any right to. So here are the best movies to expect on Netflix in October…. Nonetheless, many of them are still a treat. While the streamer is providing new original horror films and television programming from its in-house productions, most of the films Netflix is adding for the month of October are not scary at all. Ironically, the most popular streaming service in the world has chosen to play a bit of a trick on those users wanting a lot of new horror content. Yep, spooky season is almost here, and that goes for Netflix too. If you listen closely, you can even hear the delight of passerbys as they realize everything suddenly tastes like pumpkins. You feel that? There’s a sudden coolness in the air, and the smell of freshly fallen leaves out your window.
