Blu-Ray Review: Absorbing Acting Strengthens ‘The Pillars of the Earth’
Submitted by mattmovieman on December 7, 2010 - 9:45amCHICAGO – Ken Follett’s “The Pillars of the Earth” is in the great tradition of old-fashioned adventure serials. The line between good and evil is clearly drawn and there is little doubt which side of the line each character belongs. This story is a battle between heart and hierarchy, nobility and debauchery, light and darkness. It’s fraught with clichés, melodramatic in the extreme, and entertaining as hell.
