The Mists of Avalon

I watched this take of the King Author legend yesterday.  I loved it!  It is from the perspective of his half-sister Morgaine and how she perceives what is done to her to gain power to keep Avalon alive. 

This movie was based on the best selling novel of the same name.  Normally, I don't like adaptions from really good reads.  I loved this movie.  It stars the brilliant Julianna Marguilies, Anjelica Huston, and Joan Allen.  All three of these actresses gave life to their parts.  And I have to admit anything that Anjelica Huston does I have a tendency to like.

Camelot is a rugged utopia.  The politics are woven delicately with the onslaught of a new religion.  The story proves that philosophies can be woven together at the end.

It is a good movie.
