“Solomon Kane” is a movie I am really looking forward to. That particular era (16th Century England) is criminally underused and features an excellent hysterically paranoid culture, bug eyed in terror over witches and skirts that rose above the foot. I love the whole look and feel of the pilgrim time, full of ruffled shirts, pointy hats, floating or non floating witches and torches, torches, torches! Brilliant!
Here we have a nice behind the scenes look at how the fighting scenes in “Solomon Kane” were put together plus someone gets turned into a newt! Just kidding. “Solomon Kane” opens wide in 2010 and stars James Purefoy.

Endy is a slightly mangy and gristly citizen of the Great White North. He loves movies big time. How big? In Canada, back in the old days in the ice city where he lived, there would just be one theatre that would be allowed to show any given movie. Some of these theatres were not the giganto-plex or mall theatres that we know and love today. No no, these were the kind of theatres where you had to wait Outside to see a movie. When a big moving picture would open in these single theatres, beaver pelt sporting fellas like Endy would have to wait outside in line for hours while fighting off the human hankering giant Polar Bear or packs of Endy knawing timber wolves. Endy is a dedicated movie watcher.
Otherwise, Endy loves him a good Moose jerky, football teams with manly names like the Steelers or Vikings and the thawing embrace of his fine German woman. All these things are good. But you know what is best.
