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...

300: Don’t act like it’s your I.Q.
I have a confession to make. I have yet to see 300 in theatres, which one might assume to be a prerequisite for any sort of column on it. However, the critical backlash against the film, which attacks it from an overwhelmingly concussive number of angles, is such that...

Review: 300 Movie – will remain a favorite
If you’ve seen the trailer, you know that the movie looks full of obscenely ridiculous action sequences that would kick unholy amounts of arse. The movie is a two hour, R-rated version of that trailer. It inspires many an exagerrated obscene comment, but it’s...
