Hercules/Xena vs Lord of the Rings
So many recognizable faces. Many of the actors have several roles in HTLJ/XWP/YH and in those cases I have simply chosen the most reoccurring or prominent character. Did you catch everyone?

Baseado em um conto: "A Regra de Jenny Pen", (The rule of Jenny Pen, de 2024)
I purchased an old Young Hercules press kit on eBay!
Interestingly (why is illuminated, perhaps by the constant references to HTLJ, XWP, and Kull in the texts) they included some promo stuff for Hercules and Kull as well. The Kull promo has a really weird shiny texture that they're very proud of!
It came with twelve 35mm slides! I might try to get prints made. I held them up to the window so you could get an idea of what images they are.
I was happy to get one with just Dean/Iolaus, and so many group shots and Ryan/Hercules. Also very happy to get one with Meighan/Discord. I'd like to find one with Joel/Strife maybe. :)
There was quite a bit of text included about the movie and the show.
The Other Side of Heaven (2001)
This is a Movie Health Community warning. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies, and does not reflect the quality of the film itself.
The Other Side of Heaven has one scene with lightning during a thunderstorm on the sea.
There is one spinning shot, and some scenes on choppy waters, which may affect viewers prone to visual seasickness.
Flashing Lights: 4/10. Motion Sickness: 4/10.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Although this film is rated PG, we do see a graphic, bleeding injury, and hear grotesque details about how it happened.
