| 'King Arthur' is the second ultra-violent movie I've seen in the past few
days that zipped into theatres with a PG-13 rating (the low-key Peter Parker
flick is the other one). Ordinarily, I don't care if a movie is jammed with
grat nudity, blood,...more |

| Susan Granger's review of "King Arthur" (Touchstone Pictures)
Apparently the romanticized legend of King Arthur was, in fact, based on

| It's not Monty Python, and it's not the Royal Shakespeare Company.
