300 Rolls Past Gladiator While Grindhouse Stumbles
[b]Whilst doing a bit of research for what was starting out to be a teary-eyed lament for the poor Easter weekend opening of the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double-feature Grindhouse, I learned an interesting factoid about 300, that, if you’re Warner Bros.,...
What Is It With Hollywood and Prisons These Days?
Trends have always had their place in Hollywood every single year. Last year one of the big ones was magicians (which is still not over). Not even counting the dud comedy from last year, Let's Go to Prison, there are two new plot details for big upcoming features that...

Finally saw 300 (blog)
Dad and I went to see 300 at the Carousel Grande in Greensboro this afternoon. I've been wanting to catch this ever since it came out a few weeks ago. It's adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel 300, which is about the Battle of Thermopylae that took place in 480...
Opening haul by ‘300’ is a stunner
Right now, the title 300 refers to the number of sword-slingin', codpiece-sportin' Spartans who fought a behemoth horde of Persian invaders in the famous fifth century B.C. Battle of Thermopylae. In another couple of months, though, it could be a reference to the Zack...
Hoo-Ah! Again.
To date, I've seen the movie "300" twice. I will probably see it again before it's gone from theatres. When I went to see it the first time, the movie wasn't even 10 minutes old, the principle players weren't even onscreen yet, when I realized I loved this movie and...
300 – The Movie (blog)
I saw 300 on Wednesday night after a most hearty dinner at Ristorante Machiavelli. I had only watched the trailer a few weeks ago; that it was based on a Frank Miller novel piqued my interest. Before I proceed, I'd like to say that I like ancient history; stories...
The FREAK Hundred (blog)
Yesterday I had a lot of caffeine ( Some 85% dark chocolate, Coke, lunch+coke, Tim tam iced coffee, chocolate, and more chocolate at the movies), but apart from that, I finally got to see the 300, which finally decided to get of its butt and come to Australia to be...
Happy Easter! Pasha, blinys and 300.

History can be hairy
ASK an Iranian, and it's the politics of good versus evil that is all wrong. Ask an historian and they'll politely point out that the armies of Persia probably didn't include ninjas, giants and rampaging rhinos. Much of the debate about Zack Snyder's 300 has centred...
Taking a graphically bloody stand
3 stars Call it the first ancient Greek snuff film. It's impossible to glean even a faintly serious message about parallels between our situation today facing a menacing, soon-to-be nuclear Iran from 300, the story of the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.E., in which...

300 was excellent!
I haven't seen a movie in a long time where I really thought the director knew exactly what he was doing. As gory as this movie is supposed to be, it was tastefully done and with a lot of style. The fighting is simply beautiful, even if there is blood flying at your...

Wenham’s wailing all Sparta the grand plan
