I watched The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc yesterday. I am not sure what I thought of it. It was, well, strange. It was good in some ways, although I really could have lived without the scenes of the heads being lobbed off of bodies front and center on my TV. Ick. And the twist at the end with Dustin Hoffman … guess I have a little higher regard for Joan of Arc then that. They made her look like a complete nut case. Who knows, maybe that was truly the case. Well, it was worth a few hours on Tivo (i.e., for free) on a Saturday afternoon while I cleaned out boxes.
