A Kid in King Arthur's Court #1 "This was Kate before she went on to become a major superstar in Hollywood"
Plot summary Calvin Fuller is a nerdy young adolescent living in Reseda, California. The gangly, unsure youth is first seen at a baseball game, standing at bat for his team, the Knights, ready for yet another strike out. Suddenly an earthquake hits; as the others run for safety, the ground opens up under Calvin's boots and he falls through the chasm. Eventually he lands on the head of a 6th-century black knight. Upon hearing of his miraculous appearance, the elderly King Arthur, seeing him as the savior whose appearance Merlin has predicted, dubs the boy Calvin of Reseda and invites him to dine with the court. Calvin begins his knight training to help Arthur retain his crown. When the earthquake hit, Calvin had just grabbed his knapsack, a fact that enables him to wow the Arthurians with his futuristic "magic", including an introduction to rock and roll via CD player, and a Swiss Army knife. The young wizard also shows them how to make inline rollerskates. His work wins him adulation and renown; but it also rouses the jealousy of the Lord Belasco, who will use any means to take over the throne. Meanwhile, Calvin finds himself falling in love with young Princess Katey. After he helps Arthur keep the crown, he is returned to the 20th century just before the moment when he struck out, and he steps up to the plate: this time, he is ready and hits a home run. He is greeted by his teammates - including a girl who looks like Katey - and is looked on by spectator who looks like Arthur, who is whittling a piece of wood with a pocketknife - the same knife Calvin gave King Arthur. Cast: Thomas Ian Nicholas .... Calvin Fuller Joss Ackland .... King Arthur Art Malik .... Lord Belasco Paloma Baeza .... Princess Katey Kate Winslet .... Princess Sarah Daniel Craig .... Master Kane David Tysall.... Ratan Ron Moody .... Merlin Barry Stanton .... Blacksmith Michael Mehlnan.... Shop owner Melanie Oettinger.... Peasant woman Rebecca Denton....

Umpire Reception Upon its release the movie was universally blasted by critics. It currently holds a rating of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Since its release, and since Kate Winslet (Titanic) and Daniel Craig (James Bond) went on to become major superstars in Hollywood, the film received slightly more attention.Despite the negative reviews, Buffalo News replied "A must-see for the whole family!" __________________

Yeah, I liked that too! Especially in the final parts of the film, where that boy got to replace Master Kane and suddenly his helmet falls down! Everybody thought it was a ghost out there!

Kate Riding horse in this film was something new to me. It's nice to see how she was before she became a big star in Hollywood
