JFK and Nixon had all all the historical veracity of...Richard III...which, as you may know, was a completely inaccurate bash piece on a monarch then hated by the Tudor dynasty. All historical drama is this way. If you want non-fiction....watch non fiction. :)
are they doing that? sheesh. i haven't really been paying much attention, other than seeing the previews when they come on. that really is disappointing. the left likes to point to the Greeks for acceptance for homosexuality, when they clearly don't understand the first thing about it. what they're really extoling is pederasty - continued homosexual relations between adult males was mocked, even in ancient Greece.
no I didn't - details please!!!!! (anyone have a picture?)
Stone will see none of my money...
Castro lover...Bush basher
Portraying Paris a such a nancy boy kind of takes something out of the ending, I guess that is one of the few instances where they were trying to be truer to the source material.
This reviewer, Moriarity, is the only on on AICN that is decent, I really respect his movie reviews (if not his political opinions). I will say that although the movie may stink, the soundtrack by Vangelis is rather awesome. The track called "Titans" is his best work to date (sitting here listening to it now).
that's what will ultimately happen if the Academy nominates and votes F9/11 as movie of the year...
Wall Street was pretty good, as long as you remembered to take away the opposite message of what Stone was trying to say. ;)
I knew that if Stone tried to make this movie a paralell to his political views, then this movie was going to be crap. Well, apparently he could not help himself.
I'm just curious...since films from socialist countries inevtiably enrich the goverments of those countries when they succeed overseas..do you automatically boycott any films from Sweeden, Norway...Canada...not to mention China. Did you not see Hero last summer because it was a Chinese film?
Not all first run movies are bad - "The Incredibles" was a fantastic movie. Everyone should see it.
Stone has CIA assassins springing out from multiple points to shoot Alexander and hide back in the bushes then get the government to cover it up.
"Sunday" is fun trash. Oooh-aaah.
So did Tomb Raider and that stupid Sky captain movie and that didn't save those movies either.
In a history mag, there was an editorial about Lewis and Clark. Out of nowhere, the editor says, "Even Lewis and Clark couldn't help George Bush find his way through the mess in Iraq." Since that article and the one you saw were before the election, we should not be surprised at the meltdown we are now seeing on the Left.
I'm betting 5 to 3 Alexander meets his fate stuck in the fever-swamp quagmire of Mesopotamia, having failed in his unilateral attempts to conquer the oil-fields of Iraq and Persia.
Am I right?
'back..and to the right!'
""I AM AL PACINOOOOOOOOO!!!! AND I AM ACTING!!!! HOOOO-AHHHH!!!"
LOL - exactly!
