Reclaiming The Blade

I came across an interesting movie trailer on apple.com and then went on iTunes to download. It is called "Reclaiming The Blade" and it's a documentary about swords created between the Medieval and Renaissance periods and the mystery and legends that surround them. Imagine if you will, that these swords were the martial arts of this period. This film features a narration by John Rhys Davies (Gimli from the Lord Of The Rings films or Sallah from the Indiana Jones films) and features interviews with Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Karl Urban (Eomer), John Howe (artist for LOTR) and Bob Anderson (who trained most of the actors on LOTR and trained both David Prowse and Mark Hamill in the Star Wars films). Enjoy the trailer, I know, I did.
