Recently, I relocated from Australia back to Scotland and decided that as it's a very long journey I would break the trip in several places. Thanks to a direct flight from Singapore to Helsinki I was able to visit the Finnish capital for a few days and was able to secure accommodation in a special little hotel in central Helsinki.

Located on a street called Annankatu it is part owned and run by the Lutheran church although this has little significance for the traveller wishing to stay there. The hotel is about a 2km easy walk from the centre of Helsinki and all the main tourist attractions which is ideal if ...
Advantages: a brave attempt at history Disadvantages: dont expect the medieval tale
The historical action film is a popular genre these days, and one that unfortunately is generally not done well. Generaly there will always be a conflict of interests, the balance of making a audience friendly action movie against a potrayal of history is a very difficult thing to do, and with King Arthur I think that the writers, David Franzoni and John Lee Hancock. have done an excellant job. The problem with the story of Arthur is that its such a vague story in its original sources that there is room for so many different versions all with possibilites and merits.

Advantages: some good battle scenes Disadvantages: poor story, poor charaters
This film was never at the top of my list of things to watch when it came out in the cinema. I must admit that I was slightly curious about it but was put off it by the mixed reviews it was receiving. When I received it as a Christmas present my curiosity was reignited so rather than take it back and change it for something else I decided to watch it. Could it be as bad as some of the reviews had implied? Surely not.
