>Ah, ok ... I see that now. Two movies ... I haven't seen either one of them yet. I like Gerard Depardieu and we watch a lot of French movies, but these 2 haven't made it to DVD yet here. So I'll guess I'll have to wait.

I wouldn't hold my breath - unless you're a big Asterix fan. Not bad though, for a wet Saturday afternoon :-)

Have you ever seen the french film "les visiteurs" Jean remo? Very authentic medieval armour and environment (you can almost smell their stench - a big feature in the film). I've seen it in English dub and with sub-titles. I loved it - hilarious.
