Taking a cue from my fellow strippers, here's my prerelease thoughts on 300. (as well as a review of Marvel's 3AGE toy line from Japan). Comics2Film 300 Preview - Some of my friends refuse to see 300. Others are going only after registering their protests. They're...

Rolling Stone: 300 Review

The ads tell you to "prepare for glory" as 300 Spartans go to war against an army of Persians, numbering 250,000, in the film version of Frank Miller's graphic novel about the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae. My advice is to prepare your eyes for popping -- hell, they...

Gerry Gerry Bo Berry (Blog)

(Click link above for picture) Hmmm, Ok, so what can be said about Gerard Butler in the flesh? I think Holy Mother of God sums it up rather nicely. Sadly, no chance to interact with the man because he was in a bit of a hurry to head to the Much Music studios so we had...

‘300’ is one of the best movies I will ever see

I can’t hold myself back anymore. I need to scream it from the rooftops: “300” is phenomenal – one of those movies that rips out your spine and uses it to whip you across the face. It’s the first 2007 release that I’ve given the maximum four stars, and that figure...

Gorgeous brutality excuses all flaws in 300

Zack Snyder’s 300 shouldn’t work. An adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name, the film aims for stylized beauty and breath-taking visuals while keeping a comic book feel. On top of that, it tries to be more manly than a WWE main event. With all...

Review: 300 — Scott’s Review

If Gladiator and Sin City had a baby, it'd look a whole lot like Zack Snyder's 300. And that baby would be a 22-pound boy who shot out of the birth canal bearing several tattoos, snarling like a jackal and wielding a spiked club. Almost completely mindless but...

Brutal but beautiful

300 is inspiring, to say the least, and surprisingly so. After a few disappointments in films of this genre and being neither a fan of Greek literature nor movies of the genre, many elements of 300 have made yours truly sit down and take notice. First, it was the...

Ultra-violent fantasy film is a jaw-dropping masterpiece

Listen up, men! And women! But not kids! If you thought Gladiator was a bit too stingy with the bloodshed, if you felt Sin City could have been more stylized, if you hate it when the masses refer to graphic novels as "comic books," this is your day. For today brings...
