An Amazing epic tale of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. when Persia and its Immortal army tried to take Sparta. Based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel telling of a magical historical battle of 300 Spartans up against tens of thousands of ogre-like Immortals and beast slaves of the Persian God-King Xerxes. From defiance to adultery, from deceipt to ignorance, from pride to humility, the mythic race of Spartans, trained from birth as warriors, followed by their progeny, disregard Persia’s request to submit to the Persian world empire. With magic and sorcery, spears, and shields, a tremendous battle takes place between the Spartans and the Persians to prevent their entry into Greece. This is a must-see movie. Rating: 5 stars out of 5.

Opening week: While I was amongst the first to see it’s opening datelines were not too bad even for the opening matinee, but the crowds are filling the theaters. Spine-tingling, exciting, edge of your seat stuff. Reviewed by Leaf McGowan, 9th Marz 2007. More Reviews: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/.

It’s a “Heroes” style film about groups of people on our planet who have special superhuman powers … and its a race to find a special girl with special abilities while trying to run from a governmental group that is trying to control and use the powers for war. Its a battle of wits and skills as they save themselves from the clandestine governmental agency. Takes place in Hong Kong and approaches a wide variety of intriguing twists. Good effects and a fun-filled action flick. Rating: 4 stars out of 5.
