Well, it will certainly be a triple hunkfest indeed as dashing Patrick Schwarzenegger has joined Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch in Amazon's conspiracy thriller TV series THE TERMINAL LIST which, based on Jack Carr's novel, also stars Constance Wu, Riley Keough and Jeanne Tripplehorn! It follows James Reece (Pratt) after his entire platoon of Navy
SEALs is ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. Reece returns home to his family with conflicting memories of the event and questions about his culpability. However, as new evidence comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life but the lives of those he loves. Patrick, who is Pratt's real life brother in law, will play the youngest member of his team.

QUEEN MARIE OF ROMANIA
HISTORICAL MOVIE TRAILER
I don't think we've ever had anything from Romania here, but we do strive to cover the epic genre from all the corners of the world, so here's the
trailer for QUEEN MARIE OF ROMANIA, Romanian historical drama which was released there in 2019 but is now slowly being released in other European countries. The multilingual movie, which features scenes in Romanian, English, German and French, sees Roxana Lupu playing one of Romania's most famous queens, and also the last one ever, who was also a granddaughter of British queen Victoria. Devastated by the First World War and plunged into political controversy, Romania's every hope accompanies its queen on her mission to Paris to lobby for international recognition of its great unification at the 1919 peace talks. Alexis Cahill, who also directed Aidan Turner's Leonardo series, helmed the movie.

DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
After refusing a proposal from her cousin, the future King George V, Marie (the daughter of Prince Albert) was chosen as the future wife of Crown Prince Ferdinand of Romania. During the World War One, she worked as a nurse in
military hospitals in Moldavia where she and her husband took refuge. After the war, on 1 December 1918, the historical region of Transylvania, following Bessarabia and Bukovina, united with the Old Kingdom. Marie, now queen of Greater Romania, attended the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, where she campaigned for international recognition of the enlarged Romania. In 1922, she and Ferdinand were crowned in a specially built cathedral in the ancient city of Alba Iulia, in an elaborate ceremony which mirrored their status as queen and king of a united state. She spent her final years in the countryside, away from court, after her son deposed of his own son and took over the throne from him to become King Carol II.
