God and Country....If You Are Bored This Weekend

So, you are bored this weekend. I know if is actually supposed to be nice, but next week while you are making turkey -N- dressing, you may want to watch this on Netflix.

First is Medal of Honor. An 8 part show on 8 Americans who have won the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I watched the first one and was hooked. I watched all 8 episodes in less than 2 days.

Lets you know the sacrifice these guys did for not only America, but their fellow troops.

These guys were unassuming, guys you would never expect who rose to the occasion.

Makes you feel good to be an American.

Then, there has been the release of the "long awaited" Outlaw King. The story of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland.


Chris Pine plays Robert.

I know many people wanted the movie to come out because Pine does a nude scene.

Ladies, men in the LGBT community, it is hard to see his "front" in the scene as it is taken at a distance.

There is another scene in which he and the queen are having sex and it was very close to a movie you might see on one of those sights on the internet. The queen spread eagle on her back with her knees up, and both "going to town."

The movie could have been shortened to 45-40 minutes. It was very slow at times.

There were shots of scenery in Scotland that often made the movie worth watching alone.

There are bloody Medieval combat scenes, and while the history is somewhat correct, reading about that time period is more interesting than the movie.

Would I watch it again?

Probably not.

The movie did not even feature the Battle of Bannockburn which was the decisive battle which won the First War of Scottish Independence for Robert and Scotland against England.( If you are in Scotland, visiting the battleground is a must.)

But, the clothing was correct in that there were no kilts...  The kilt did not appear in Scotland until the 1500s. Braveheart, which is a movie made in the 1200-1300s the same time period shows William Wallace and the Highlanders in kilts....Well, a historical inaccuracy.  The kilt as we know it today really did not become common until the 1700s.

Is the movie worth watching?

Sure, parts are entertaining.

But as I said, I doubt I watch it again...
