Last Night at the 300
I went to the Hollywood Premier of the "300" last night, and talked a bit with Director Zack Snyder, screenwriter Kurt Johnstad, and graphic novelist Frank Miller. There will be lots of controversy about this film—well aside from erroneous allegations that it is pro-...

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,...
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
Director Zack Snyder and writer Frank Miller combine to produce one of the year's best action films in "300," a visual eye candy extravaganza of blood and guts. The film centers on King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and his quest to protect Sparta from an oncoming Persian...
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...
