My Summer Love/Addiction: Richard Sharpe

[supernova]

Yes, I know, I've become a BBC America addict, so sue me!

But these movies are so much fun... swoard fighting, and duels, and horseback riding, and a seven-barrel (!) shotgun!

Sean Bean is WAY better as Richard Sharpe than he was as Boromir in LOTR. Based on thebooks by Bernard Cornwall.

Oh, yeah, and one more reason: Since we share a last name, I consider him my fictional ancestor too. :D

Anybody else enjoying Sharpe?

1. Noooo....not the bad guy from "National Treasure"

:hi:

[supernova]

2. He's the villian in National Treasure?

LOL! I didn't know that. Is NT worth watching?

[Crazy Dave]

3. I thought so

If you like movies for strictly entertainment values. There's really nothing deep and mysterious to it. It's got Nick Cage and Jon Voight in it too. Jon Voight did great. Good rental for this weekend.

4. Thanks, I'll get it!

I love adventure movies anyway. :-)

5. Robert De Niro kicked his ass in "Ronin"

But De Niro kicks a lot of ass.

7. DeNiro really couldn't kick Sharpe's ass

Sharpe rises from private to officer level in Wellington's army to defeat Napoleon.
