Periodically Relative: Movie Review: Season of the Witch

Who Am I?

I am...creative, fun, clever, sarcastic, smart, occasionally ignorant and blissfully unaware. I am a person of strong resolve and weak personal bubble. I love to speak my mind, and listen with all my being. I absorb most everything, and feel that everything is information.

I know, I feel, I hear, I listen, I sense, I understand, not everything, and not all at the same time.

Writer by trade, and Counselor by nature. I am attentive, and intuitive, both a gift and curse. I can be right, and hate to be wrong. I am the teddy bear, that will hold our secrets, and the blanket that will protect from fear.

I want change for the better, and always look for places to plant that seed. Most importantly and the bitter-sweet truth...I am Human...don't hold against me...just go with it.

Movie Review: Season of the Witch

A movie set in the mid 14th century it follows two knights on their journey away from the crusades, to falling back into the church's service. Reluctantly they agree to escort a young girl, who is being charged of witchcraft and seemingly scapegoated for the plague that is destroy humanity.

As the movie progresses you begin to see the girl's true nature, and it gives you bait to sway you. Is she truly evil? Or she is just a powerful and strong girl who is being accused wrongly.

I did not dis like this movie. I can't say that I loved it, and will not grace my shelves. However the movie was worth seeing at least once, and I would watch it if I were looking for something on the tele.

I think there is something to be said for the characters, despite their mild development, only one will remain with me for awhile. Kay, pronounced Kai, is a young boy who's father was a knight and that's his dream. The kid can read Latin and rock it out in both the church and on the battleground. Played by Robert Sheehan of the British television show Misfits, I instantly liked him. I missed his Irish accent, but he is still quite the capable actor.

Worth going to see.
