2 below par on the ninth hole

I mean, Eagle of the Ninth, the movie.

I think I posted a link about this film when I first heard they were making it. Apparently they changed the name because people thought it was about golf.

For you film/history/sutcliff buffs out there, the wikipedia entry has some interesting factoids about various [in]accuracies... (I especially like the symbolism of the Romans being played by Americans):

Hah! I hadn't known about that and had to look it up. Wikipedia on THAT topic says "it did come on the back of audiences leaving Henry V saying they wished they had not missed the first four films."

Hey, I liked Henry IV, both parts. And Richard II. (And Richard III, but that is chronologically later.)

I have actually been meaning to read both Henry IV's and then Henry V back to back, to watch Prince Hal change before my very eyes. (I have been meaning to do this for about ten years, so it may in fact never happen.)

the BBC did a shakespeare series when I was in high school which did just that. That was when I FELL IN LOVE WITH PRINCE HAL.
