Movie of the Week 5

For all you cable cutting rebels searching for something to stream this weekend, here is the pick of the week available on Netflix and Prime Video. 

Solomon Kane   2009   action adventure fantasy

​James Purefoy plays the main character, Solomon Kane, who is much darker and more conflicted than your average movie hero. The pace of the movie is unhurried and gives Kane time to grow instead of becoming lost in wave after wave of action sequences. The excellent production creates a believable Medieval world that is gritty, violent, and plagued by evil occult powers. The imagination of Robert E. Howard is created right before our eyes; it is frightening and believable.
