Script Review For ‘Escape From New York’ Remake Hits Net (Blog)
Back in March, Variety reported on a bidding war for the rights to remake John Carpenter's action classic Escape From New York. When the dust settled, New Line emerged victorious and the project was put together as a starring vehicle for 300's Gerard Butler. Now,...
Script Review: Escape From New York Re-Make
We've got a script review from an IESB reader. You guys know we don't do script reviews very often, but, this guy felt like he had something to say, so why the hell not, it's a slow news week. Here you go! Hey guys, I've had the Escape from New York script in my...
Escape From New York Remake Script (Blog)
We've known for a few months now that New Line was remaking Escape from New York, this time with Gerard Butler as Snake Plissken (the role in the original that's probably most responsible for catapulting Kurt Russell to fame). I really liked Butler's portrayal as...
Merrick Thinks The ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK Remake Script Is Surprisingly ESCAPE FROM NEW YORKish!! (Blog)
Merrick here… In a RECENT ARTICLE, I exalted early John Carpenter films…which I truly love. I love their subtext, their attitude, their style, their sound, their essence. I love them. Period. As such, I’ve been unnerved by the parade of early Carpenter titles...

300 – The Ultimate Chick Flic
First off let me just say I originally went to see 300 because my son was interested in it. I thought since it had Gerard Butler in it, who I loved in Dear Frankie, I was sure to at least enjoy his performance. Was I ever right! Not only do we get to see a bronzed and...
300 the Movie
The movie 300 was a visual spectacle. The brave 300 warriors of Sparta sounded like a bunch of rowdy fraternity boys. The first thing that struck me was the visuals. It looked like it was shot with photoshop. The dark textures and smooth digital gradients provided the...
‘300’: Craziest movie of the year
4 stars out of 5 En route to Thermopylae, where he would face the vast army of Persian King Xerxes in a world-shaping battle in 480 B.C., King Leonidas of Sparta met up with his Theban allies. In the movie 300, based on Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's graphic novel...
My Review of ‘300’ (blog)
[b]Do Not Miss.[/b] '300' is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel of the same name, and while taking some artistic license, the story is based on the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. in Greece, between the Spartans and the Persians. Many of you (myself included) are...
Movie Review: Beowulf & Grendel (blog)
The old epic Beowulf has finally been interpreted for film in a decent fashion. The film Beowulf & Grendel starring Gerard Butler and Ignvar Sigurdsson has merit, and is a mildly captivating experience for people who like fantasy and/or historical movies. Having...

300 (2006)
300 is like Braveheart reading “Atlas Shrugged” in ancient Greece while gulping a tall café latte at Starbucks. Anachronisms aside, Zack Snyder artfully adapts Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae where 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas...
