This Week: The Writers Room for Legends of Tomorrow

An Honest Fangirl: Football season is officially upon us, so I spent far too many hours watching that and various pre and post game shows. But I've also been watching more Shudder documentaries. Horror's Greatest is currently airing and it's very good!

Movie Review: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

“Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.”

This movie is an absolute turkey: overstuffed, bland, and way too American. It’s also 143 minutes long, but those are 1990s minutes. Adjusted for 2020s inflation, that’s approximately infinite amounts of time.

Robin Hood: Men In Tights

"Why should the people listen to you?"

"Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.”

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves came out in 1991 and earned nearly $400 million dollars. Two years later, comedy legend Mel Brooks created Robin Hood: Men in Tights, a wacky musical parody of Prince of Thieves and most other Robin Hood movies.

Movie Review: Robin Hood (2018)

“I’m guessing you’d be up for a little redistribution of wealth?”

When I saw this movie in the theatre, I hated it. I don’t usually demand historical accuracy from medieval films. I mean, I really like Braveheart, so that gives you a sense of how low my standards are. But the 2018 Robin Hood took inaccuracy to a new level.

Movie Review: Robin Hood (Disney, 1973)

“Death to tyrants!”

This is the most charming children’s movie about taxation policy ever made.

Robin of Sherwood Series Review

“Nothing’s forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten.”

When the BBC decided to finally pull the plug on its (frankly rubbish) version of Robin Hood back in 2009, I decided to take a look back into the distant past, to the decade that style forgot, and rediscover another (far superior) take on the legendary bandit, Robin of Sherwood.
