Frank Miller’s 300 is a sight to see (Blog)

DVD Review:Beowulf and Grendel (2006)

Recently released on DVD by Anchor Bay, this is an obscure but interesting adaptation of the old myth, filmed entirely in Iceland. But unlike the myth, in which Grendel is depicted as a consummately evil being, the film embellishes the story with a prologue,...

In 480 B.C., King Leonidas of Sparta led his army of 300 to one of the greatest battles in history, the Battle of Thermopylae. The soldiers fought to the death against Xerxes I and his colossal Persian army. Their courage and fearless altruism led to all of Greece...

Of History and Comic Books

Since "Gladiator" put back the peplum in fashion, we cannot stop counting the number of productions bidding on a kind of historical reconstitution of the Antiquity. After Gladiator, Troy and Alexander, here is then 300, a war drama which takes root in the Spartans...

New film ‘300’ takes blood and guts to a whole new level

300 Movie Review: Spartan Women Shown Respect

Ok - so I was dragged kicking and screaming to see the movie “300″ by my Gerard-Butler-obsessed friend Kelli. Blood-and-guts movies do not interest me, especially when the plot has anything to do with ancient history. I lose interest in these types of films quickly...
