I review Knightriders, the somewhat forgotten George A. Romero movie starring Ed Harris, about a troupe of motorcycle riding, renaissance faire knights. Yes, really!
I haven’t seen this movie since I was a kid and I found it boring then. Does the 41 year old me feel the same way? Listen with your purposely dulled sword, mace, or axe to find out!
It doesn’t take a Merlin to know that spoilers are coming at you faster than a Harley with a lance.
