Wing of King Arthur - 153 - King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" was undeniably a bold and visually striking reimagining of the Arthurian legend.

Wing of King Arthur - 151 - First Knight
In the latest episode of "Houselights," the debate over 1995's 'First Knight' turned into an epic showdown worthy of the Round Table itself.

Meanwhile, Darren and John, knights of a different kingdom, wielded their swords of criticism with gusto, tearing apart the movie like Malagant terrorizing Camelot. The clash of opinions was more epic than Lancelot's swordplay. 🏰⚔️🎥
