From October 13, 2008:
After quite a few Oscar films, artsy independent flicks, and American Film Institute-lauded classic films, the next few entries on my Netflix queue will be a welcome combination of lowbrow comedies and popcorn flicks. Hey, I am a movie fan, which means I like to watch all kinds of movies. Truthfully, I probably would not have been interested in 300 had not a few friends (all guys) told me that this was a great film. I was skeptical. I mean, I could already tell it was a movie ripe for mass merchandising when it first came out, not to mention the fact that I thought one would need a certain amount of testosterone to enjoy the film. Yet, with the few friends singing its praises, I popped it on my queue. Unfortunately, my predictions were correct (and see if I listen to them again).
Now, just so's y'all know, I have nothing but respect for the concept here, but it was clearly a film made more for entertainment than art, so certain expectations need automatically be revised and relaxed. Basing my blog on that premise, I'm going to try to keep it lighthearted, even though I will, more likely, come off as a snob. What can I say? This is a film I should probably have passed on - because it's not a film that I probably ever had any chance of liking based on my own personal predilections and biases. Hey, at least I admit it.
Gerard Butler plays Leonidas, King of Sparta, but for my blog, I'm going to call him the Phantom. The film tells the story of how Leonidas (i.e. the Phantom) led 300 of Sparta's best warriors against Persian forces, looking to conquer and enslave, in the Battle of Thermopylae. It's based on a graphic novel by the sa...

Frank Miller makes a legendary historical event read like just another comic book, but this is a good adventure movie anyway. And, astonishingly, Gerard Butler doesn't suck
