Film For some reason this blurb made me shell out £1.29 in the Oxfam shop in town:
"It is a time of great danger and uncertaintly in the world. Cities are full with orphaned, homeless children. Disease and sickness spread a dark shadow over the land. Roads are unsafe, overrun by criminals who seek out young people for the slave masters. Rules appear obsessed with overseas adventure and war while spirituality and kindness have become forgotten vitures. Into this bleak vision comes hope and deliverance for these opressed children - a crusade led by an unusual group - a crusade led by an unusual group of young people who join forces in a perilous search for the legendary King Richard The Lionhearted..."
This, then is Lionheart, featuring Gabriel Byrne, Eric Stoltz, star (according to the box) of "Memphis Belle". And Dexta (Press Gang) Flecha. I'll get back to you when I've watched it to let you know actually how poor it is... I'm suspecting another classic in the mould of 'King David' featuring Richard Gere. No really.
