 CENTURION, AN ENJOYABLE MANS' FILM, 2010-09-02
Ignore all those that see themselves as budding critics, if you like a good yarn with plenty of excellently choreographed battle scenes, and 'Hammer' style effects, then this is for you! Minimal 'lovey dovey' as well. I thoroughlly enjoyed it!

A masterpiece, 2010-08-14
I have looked at the other reviews here and agree with some.
I appreciate that the film is not strictly historically accurate but most of it is a faithful attempt at recreating a time we never really think about- how Christianity became one of the most powerful religion's in human history. And as a film it achieves it's goal of telling a very important- to me - story. An interesting note might be the seeds then of the ongoing conflict in the modern world still between the 3 religions of the middle east (Christianity, Islam and Judaism).
I had never come across Hypatia until this film despite my interest in more ancient history. Now I feel very passionate about her achievements at a time when women were not part of the intellectual/philosophical world- and there's still some ground we need to make up! Hypatia deserves much more recognition by modern women.
So I found the film inspiring and very moving. I never want to give away a plot so won't although some here have (be warned if you are reading a review and haven't yet seen it). The makers and actors have achieved visual beauty and scale together with a very human story. And it is about the mind and emotions, not special effects and action (although the few 'action' scenes are done well).
I feel it stands up much better than most of those 'sword and sandal' epics of the 60s- of which I feel that 'the Fall of the Roman Empire' was the best (and ripped off shamelessly in 'Gladiator').
So please watch this film- you won't be disappointed.

What film was the trailer about?, 2010-08-20
What violence there is, is brief and brutal.
The dialogue is what makes this film compelling.
Only when it is over will you realise that you have experienced (subtitled) scenes in French, English, German and (a little) Italian. These are not intrusive; they add to the central theme: people hiding.
The central plot is about an assassination attempt on Hitler in a cinema, but how and why and who is the real story.
The tension crackles through every scene; two and a half hours and not a wasted frame.

Quentin Tarantino
Although Quentin Tarantino has cherished Enzo G. Castellari's 1978 "macaroni" war flick The Inglorious Bastards for most of his film-geek life, his own Inglourious Basterds is no remake. Instead, as hinted by the Tarantino-esque misspelling, this is a lunatic fantasia of WWII, a brazen re-imagining of both history and the behind-enemy-lines war film subgenre. There's a Dirty Not-Quite-Dozen of mostly Jewish commandos, led by a Tennessee good ol' boy named Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) who reckons each warrior owes him one hundred Nazi scalps--and he means that literally. Even as Raine's band strikes terror into the Nazi occupiers of France, a diabolically smart and self-assured German officer named Landa (Christoph Waltz) is busy validating his own legend as "The Jew Hunter." Along the way, he wipes out the rural family of a grave young girl (Melanie Laurent) who will reappear years later in Paris, dreaming of vengeance on an epic scale. Now, this isn't one more big-screen comic book. As the masterly opening sequence reaffirms, Tarantino is a true filmmaker, with a deep respect for the integrity of screen space and the tension that can accumulate in contempla...

Director:
Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg had a banner year in 1993. He scored one of his biggest commercial hits that summer with the mega-hit Jurassic Park, but it was the artistic and critical triumph of Schindler's List that Spielberg called "the most satisfying experience of my career". Adapted from the best-selling book by Thomas Keneally and filmed in Poland with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, Spielberg's masterpiece ranks among the greatest films ever made about the Holocaust during World War II. It's a film about heroism with an unlikely hero at its center--Catholic war profiteer Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), who risked his life and went bankrupt to save more than 1,000 Jews from certain death in concentration camps. By employing Jews in his crockery factory manufacturing goods for the German army, Schindler ensures their survival against terrifying odds. At the same time, he must remain solvent with the help of a Jewish accountant (Ben Kingsley) and negotiate business with a vicious, obstinate Nazi commandant (Ralph Fiennes) who enjoys shooting Jews as target practice from the balcony of his villa overlooking a prison camp. Schindler's List gains much of its power ...

Director:
Zack Snyder
Like Sin City before it, 300 brings Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's graphic novel vividly to life. Gerard Butler (Beowulf and Grendel, The Phantom of the Opera) radiates pure power and charisma as Leonidas, the Grecian king who leads 300 of his fellow Spartans (including David Wenham of The Lord of the Rings, Michael Fassbender, and Andrew Pleavin) into a battle against the overwhelming force of Persian invaders. Their only hope is to neutralise the numerical advantage by confronting the Persians, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), at the narrow strait of Thermopylae. More engaging than Troy, the tepid and somewhat similar epic of ancient Greece, 300 is also comparable to Sin City in that the actors were shot on green screen, then added to digitally created backgrounds. The effort pays off in a strikingly stylised look and huge, sweeping battle scenes. However, it's not as to-the-letter faithful to Miller's source material as Sin City was. The plot is the same, and many of the book's images are represented just about perfectly. But some extra material has been added, including new villains (who would be consider...
