I’VE JUST COME BACK from seeing “300” at the cinema and I’m not really sure what all the hype was about to be honest. For those that don’t know, 300 tells the story of the 300 Spartans who are alleged to have held a mountain pass at Thermopylae (also known as the...

reviewer’s rating: 5 out of 5 stars After “Gladiator” was released in 2000, it immediately shot to the top of my favorite movie list, and I consider it the best epic movie of the last decade (yes, even better than “Lord of the Rings,” sorry fans). Ever since, others...

GERARD BUTLER likes to be called Gerry. It's what his friends call him and since moving to America, he isn't fond of the way the Yanks pronounce his full name. Gerry suits the tall, handsome Scottish actor, who is renowned for being laid back and gregarious - that...

Let me shout this from the very top of the review, as the doomed king Leonidas and his Spartans are so fond of doing: I DIDN'T ENJOY 300! There, I've said it. I can hide my controversial opinion no longer. An army of fans - enough to put the fear of God in old Xerxes...

Gerard Butler plays the fericiously stubborn King Leonidas who valiently leads 300 of his bravest fellow Spartans to a "glorious" demise on the agrandized battlefield of Thermopylae. In case anyone's been living under a rock the past few weeks, 300 is now in theaters...

Looking for blood and gore - this is just the film for you. Want any genuine feeling and you'll be disappointed. In media studies (something some Government ministers think is a waste of time), there is a phenomenon called desensitisation, which is when people, faced...
