The final(?) novel in Giles Kristian's Raven series of books, this continues - and, maybe, ends - the story first began in <i>Raven: Blood Eye</i>.

Again presented as the older titular character retelling the tale of his younger years, this sees Sigurds wolf-pack of the sea continue their voyage, moving down now into Europe proper, before experiencing Rome and finally ending the tale in the city of Miklagard (i.e. Constantinople). If you've read any of the precious entries in the series, you'd know pretty much what to expect: however, and somewhat unfortunately, I have to say that I felt this particular entry to out-stay it's welcome somewhat.

This sprawling and big budget retelling of Arthur and the search for the holy grail is the best there is, from its multi big name English stars of the time to those that were upcoming and serves to be the version all others will struggle to reach and the best interpretation to date in my opinion
Nicol Williamson as Merlin is both amazing and mesmerising and his delivery is very unique and adds further dimension to the character.
A lavishly designed epic of a movie that still stand s tall today, it may be a little long for some, however it's a classic that deserves to be seen!

Cute story-line (0 more)
Puzzling at times (0 more)
I got this as part of an EA bundle from the PS Store at a bargain price.

It has a very cute story-line involving a ball of string that is retelling the tales of a family's holidays, helping to fill in photo albums and picture frames in the family's house. You have to make it from one end of the memory to the other, going through puzzling scenarios and avoiding things that may hurt you without running out of string.

Considering the game is for all ages, I did find some of the puzzles a little complicated at times.

Christopher Nolan's retelling of the Dunkirk Evacuation of May 1940, when the Allied troops were trapped on the beaches by an ever-advancing German army.

Told in 3 distinct over-lapping theatres: the Mole, the Sea and the Air, and with limited dialogue, I have to say (and I realise I'm probably in the minority here) I didn't really rate this movie all that much - to me, the shots of the British army seemed laughable small (I'm positive it was far larger than shown), while the constant attempts to pull on the viewers emotions just had the opposite effect, and the never-explained-very-clearly intersecting timelines just didn't work.
