Hello and welcome back to Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves where you share three movies to fit the theme of the week each Thursday.
It's Renaissance week aka that period going from the 14th (1301) to 17th (1700) century aka the week that drove me insane because I couldn't think of any film that fit the theme - it does have to be set in Europe, right? Anyway, I'm sure there are a lot of great ones, like those Elizabeth movies with Cate Blanchett I'm yet to see, I just picked the first three movies that came to my mind and that I could remember how I felt about.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
Gipsy dancer Esmeralda has to assert her independence in order to help and save his deformed bell-ringer friend Quasimodo from the evil Minister of Justice Frollo. I think this is one of the darkest/more dramatic Disney films, but it has been one of my favourites since I was a kid and I still love it.
Your Highness (2011)
When his bride is kidnapped, Prince Fabious goes on a quest to rescue her accompanied by his lazy and useless brother Thadeous. I only watched this because of James Franco and Natalie Portman but if I knew what I was getting myself into, I wouldn't have done it. It is just a dumb movie, not really funny and definitely not entertaining.
Assassin's Creed (2016)
With the hep of a machine, Callum Lynch explores the memories of his ancestor Aguilar, discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society and amasses knowledge and skills to take on the Templar organization in the present day. This film was a huge disappointment, but it wasn't terrible. The filmmakers just decided to focus on the wrong story, they preferred present day over the past which was a real shame.
