I'm surprised by how charming Errol Flynn is after all of these years, although he is annoyingly cocky. In terms of a boner scale, I'd rank him as my second favorite Robin Hood. 4. Kevin Costner 3. Russell Crowe 2. Errol Flynn 1. Handsome, furry Disney fox Also, this movie hasn't aged too well, which is great. It's so damn corny! These costumes are so historically inaccurate (I've never seen so much velvet!,) it's more fun to watch this as if this is some other planet and this is their version of medieval times.

The Fits is an understated, poetic look at growing up as a young girl. The film requires physical performances from its cast; dialogue is sparse, and often we are thrown in the middle of conversations that put context to the plot. We see the characters practice their craft and move through the community center that these young, inner city kids occupy. The camera stays on the main character, Toni, who is trying to move from the lone, masculine sport of boxing to a communal, feminine dance team. The creators used non-professional actors to give the film authenticity, while still providing a hint of strangeness in the plot. While it didn't completely hold my attention the whole time, it is rich with subtext while providing a complete and special vision.
