Although he’s the title character, 300 star Gerard Butler was billed last in the USA Network’s 2001 epic Attila. Then unknown, the Scottish thespian is now everywhere-from 300 to an alleged Escape From New York remake. It’s the perfect time to check out Butler’s...

From the Attila Press Kit: (Thanks to Diane for the contribution!) From Tim Curry: "It's a pretty dynamic cast - and I think Gerry Butler is an extremely charismatic and enormously energetic and riveting actor. I think this will make him a star." From writer Robert...

Oh, that Attila the Hun. Was he a fifth-century Hitler or a hunk on a horse with a heart as big as Asia Minor? It's a movie on USA. You do the math. The two-part "Attila" (9 p.m., USA) concludes just like it started. With much hacking, throat-slitting and pillaging....

ATTILA THE HUN - one of history's major heavies or merely misunderstood? You guessed it. Seems he had the fifth-century equivalent of a dysfunctional childhood, watching his beloved father slaughtered in front of his eyes, among other things. His role model was a...

Attila the hunk. Hi Hun, I'm home! So who knew the big brute was also a serial ladykiller? FOR reasons I had hoped never to understand, in the last month ads started appearing on public transportation which read, "Attila: Lover, Leader, Warrior, Hun." Now, call me...

There's television, which calls for clearing your throat and speaking almost respectfully, and then there's TV. "Attila" is TV, a foolishly watchable, old-timey trash wallow with Roman baths, grunting battles and barbarian beauties. It's dumb Hun fun from the USA...

Oh Attila the Hun was a very fine Hun, a honey of a Hun was he. He pillaged and he plundered and he ravaged and he sacked but 'twas never never late for tea. Perhaps you remember that wee little rhyme from your youth. If so, you had a very strange upbringing, because...

"Attila," a two-part, four-hour drama airing tonight and Wednesday on USA, is hardly a Hunney of a show, but it's worth a look if you're in the mood for swords, slashing and spectacle. Partly reminiscent of historical sagas such as "Braveheart" and "Gladiator," this...

Attila the Hun is off on a four-hour race to build himself a Western empire. To see what makes Attila run, cable's USA is the place to be tonight and Wednesday. It's a big step for USA to bring this epic warrior tale with a big international cast (filmed in Lithuania)...

ATTILA 1 1/2 StarsTuesday and Wednesday, 9 p.m., USA Once in a great while, a TV film comes along that sets a new standard in its field. "Attila" is not one of those - unless we're talking about Unintentionally Funny, Pseudo-Historical, Cheesy Action Epics, in which...

UNIVERSAL CITY -- "Attila the Hun," which debuts this week on the USA cable network, does a strong job of showing how the Roman Empire delayed its demise while unwittingly setting the stage for the Dark Ages. The two-part miniseries airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday and...

Hero or villain - depending on which side tells the story - there is no question Attila the Hun changed the history of the world. It was the fifth century, and the Roman Empire was struggling for survival when a band of nomadic Huns stormed from the East, ending...

Leave it to television to give us a kinder, gentler Attila the Hun. In USA network's four-hour miniseries "Attila," airing Tuesday and Wednesday, the fifth-century Barbarian known as "the Scourge of God" emerges as a thoughtful, even humane ruler with a weakness for...

PASADENA, CALIF.- Television isn't known for its history lessons, but occasionally it can offer up a tasty popcorn drama starring history's great icons - and if some sense of a historical period lingers, that's gravy, so to speak. This is the spirit in which USA...

Who hasn't read about the stirring exploits of Attila, 5th-century king of the mighty Huns, and mused, in awe and wonder, "Gee, what made that guy tick?" Yeah, me neither. And even for those who have, "Attila" (9 p.m. ET Tuesday and Wednesday, USA) provides barely a...
