Fun is the only noise you should hear
dodgeball=funny, except for the end, which was stupid and lame.

300... well, I didn't fall asleep because I kept laughing at Xerxes and those wild beasts.

Loved the CGI, the overall visual design (got to be frank miller's input) the action, the music, the gore and the plot (vewy simple!).

No loved the Persian characterizations, stupid giant rhino, Xerxes voice/size, ending was a bit weak.

IMAX would have been too much, I think.

That giant Rhino also annoyed me. The Rhino was put in the movie to add a kick to boring old Greeks fighting which strayed the movie from its meaning even more.
Come and visit Kylesburg City, please clicky!

There is really no way hollywood could make what the history books say happened there look any more incredible than it really was.

Is it just me or is the music in many movies so loud it makes it hard to understand the dialog?

I thought Xerxes was a rip off from the original Stargate movie.

It's not just you. :no: Then you turn it up from the dialogue after turning it down from the music and the music blasts you when it comes back on... <_<

That's it! I knew it looked familiar. And even then, Stargate ripped off the Pharoah thing from Cecil B. DeMille's Ten Commandments.

Well, I had a double-date yesterday.My best friend set up a thing with this girl he knew, with a single friend. So, the four of us went to see Superbad. It's hilarious, but, parents, don't let your kids see it. It's got naughty words.

300 was mediocre; if you do history, do it as it is recorded. Troy missed out the Divine Gods.

The Goddesses Aphrodite, Athena and Juno were the cause of the war. Might have included them I think...



Downloaded the Simpsons Movie, again mediocre...

I have a penchant for finding things mediocre. Except The Long Good Friday, that was a good film :B) Does have a scene of nudity though. Never mind the blood spill and 'crucifixion' :P

Pan's Labyrinth - El Laberinto del Fauno, for those of you who are not Francophiles.

Great stuff, but not for those who just want something to snack to. Gorgeous, gorgeous film from the guy who brought you Hellboy and The Devil's Backbone. In fact, I recommend seeing TDB before you see PL. They go together, but are not directly sequaled.

I think I'm becoming something of a Guillermo del Toro fan.

Top 10

1. Gladiator because it has Russel Crowe and lions.
2. 1984 because I love police states.
3. Capote because I love gay authors.
4. Brokeback Mountain because I love gay cowboys.
5. The God Who Wasn't There because I love documentaries that upset the sheeplike masses.
6. Collateral because it features a duel between a black cab driver and a scientologist. Prime entertainment.
7. Good Night and Good Luck because I hate Senators.
8. In the Heat of the Night because I hate racism burningly.

Number 9 & 10 were lost in battle. Sorry for any inconvenience.

"23" is worth a look. Jim Carey in a straight role is interesting.
