Jude law

Fresh take on a classic

When I heard this was being made and saw the trailer, I thought, no thanks that looks rubbish. However, I watched it and I loved it. Charlie Hunnams acting was strong and powerful. Although I found Jude Laws character very weak. I actually found myself liking the urban take on this medieval classic.

Decent

I would be lying if I said that I have read every poem, but I have read a fair few. Reading early Scots is difficult (even for a Scot) but some of the medieval ballads are fun. Check out 'The Twa Corbies' or Jenny Nettles' holding her bairn under her oxter, good fun.
