social and conflict in the Roman Empire that ultimately led to his death! The series also stars Stephen Moyer as Pontius Pilate, Rufus Sewell, Eoin Macken, John Rhys Davies, Aneurin Barnard, Tamsin Egerton. Read more about their roles in our spotlight!

'KATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA'
PETER O'TOOLE'S LAST ROLE

known as DECLINE OF AN EMPIRE (on DVD in USA) or KATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA
ANGELS SHALL SUFFER NO MORE
Katherine of Alexandria (Nicole Keniheart), brought up as a nomad and living in the desert, was aged just 11 when Emperor Maxentius saw her whilst out on patrol. Consumed by her beauty, impudence and uncanny talent for languages, he abducted the child, killing her family. The slaughter was witnessed by her young friend, Constantine (Jack Goddard), who
would later become Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. He never
lost hope of finding Katherine. As a young woman, Katherine refused to
submit to Maxentius' offers of marriage and she continually denounced
his brutal enforcement of pagan religion upon the masses. Still obsessed
with her beauty, Maxentius brought Katherine before 50 of Rome's finest
scholars in an open court in Alexandria, where she eloquently
demolished their arguments. When Constantine learned of Katherine's
whereabouts and imprisonment at the hands of Maxentius, he led his army
from York in a desperate bid to save her.

Hey so many films, so little Sundays... I am going to be Fast and Furious 7... :)
ReplyDeleteSo true, I only find the time to watch my weekly shows on the weekends and so many films on the list to watch... probably summer... summer is the time we catch up
DeleteThose look very engrossing. I've got to see Peter O'Toole's last film. I've enjoyed his work for years. Did you know the video won't play in my part of the world? It's blocked for copyright reasons. Interesting.
ReplyDeletehe he it's probably the UK version, you can find US version at YouTube. I will change it ASAP for other readers too!
DeleteNot really my thing today, though I do love Alice Hoffman and have been meaning to read her novel The Dovekeepers for the longest time.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect, it's Friday :) I expect tomorrow to be even worse :)
DeleteDOVEKEEPERS is airing in all its four hours tomorrow evening at a cable channel here, but I'm not sure I'd survive that long :(
Instead of watching those I'm going to stew in my jealousy over the UK getting to watch the new episodes of Poldark while I have to wait two more months. I will be very pruny by the time June gets here. :P
DeleteI've downloaded the first two episodes :) but will first watch THE ROYALS since I'm currently in the mood for spicy Hurley :) POLDARK will wait a bit.... I stopped WOLF HALL at the third episode, it was almost unwatchable and so dreary. OUTLANDER returns too, but I'm not sure I will continue watching it after the mild first part of the season.
DeletePeter O'Toole...a legend! Decline of an Empire...could be an epic stuff!
ReplyDeletehe was one of the last true acting legends
DeleteMovies and TV seem to want to make all the money off of the religious watchers these days
ReplyDeletetoo true
DeleteSounds all very nice, but I'm obsessed with "Empresses in the Palace," episode # 24.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend... holiday if you celebrate too.(smile)
you're already at episode 24? :) Isn't that a total binge :)
DeleteI celebrated as a kid, but now not since I don't have a family
I think I'll just stick to watching what's on Netflix this weekend.
ReplyDeletesounds like a plan! I will watch X FACTOR Adria on Sunday and probably THE ROYALS tonight :)
DeleteMore rebooted history than I can take.
ReplyDeletea spoonful a day....
