We're going to go see the movie again tomorrow and take notes, so look for a more in-depth review to come very soon!

A KNIGHT'S TALE CERTAINLY DOTH ROCK!
by Willa, ATF Staff Writer

We just got back from seeing A Knight's Tale on opening night. My advice is to go see this movie as soon as you possibly can!

HOWEVER, don't go to see this movie if you are looking for historical accuracies (face it...no one is ever going to be historically accurate *and* this entertaining). Do go see this film if you are a fan of renaissance faires and have a Monty Python sense of humour. If you're able to laugh at the fact that the jousting audience pounds the wooden rails along with Queen singing "We Will Rock You" (which had me DYING with laughter) and if you're able to find great humour in the fact that these medieval folks boogie (literally) to David Bowie, then go see this film!

The way that they bring modern references into this historical era just reminded me of all the great times we've had at renaissance faires. The clothing is far from accurate (surprise) but it sure is definitely interesting. And the characters are stupendous! As I've heard people say before in reviews to this movie, it was so bad it was amazingly brilliantly good!

And if you do see it, make sure you stay until after the credits run...it's well worth it!
