Deja Vu is a good film. Typical Tony Scott/Jerry Bruckheimer effort, it doesn't really make a lot of sense but it's superb anyway. Edited January 7, 2007 by Rovermatt

I have to admit I can't understand exactly how it works. They can see back in time for four days or something and are somehow trying to save the life of a girl who has already died?

I just know the trailer lasted about 20 minutes and by the end all I had was "uuuhhh....so its sort of like Minority Report? But with Denzel?"

So it's sort of like Minority Report? But with Denzel?

If the trailer had just said that, I'd have gone to see the film by now.

Dont know if this has alraedy been covered but the Frank Miller adaptation of the 300 Spartans looks immense a mixture of Homeric fantasy mixed with a factual storyline

Take a look at the trailer

Hah, I got the Graphic novel a few weeks back (have look on Amazon for the Coffee table sized one) Its great.

I also read

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0...0617703-9602351

Oldboy was the find of the year for me, I expected nothing and got an Asian Kill Bill.

Is this film part of a trilogy..?I think there are two other films from the saqme director s that continue the story line..Maybe Lady Vengance could be one of them..

[sleepyjack]

The 'vengeance' trilogy.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

Oldboy

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

I thought that kind of behaviour was reserved for 'hillbillies' and the like. Guess not.

I'm dreading 300 - I've a facination with the Greco Persian wars and I'm worried it'll end up like another Braveheart - If you want to expand on the reading then Herodotus - The Histories gives an excellent viewpoint written 50 years after Thermopylae and Artimesium and Peter Green's Greco Persian Wars is very good

It's based on a graphic novel. There are no pretentions of historical accuracy and it's hyper-stylised visuals are supposed to be over blown.

"This is madness!"

"NO - THIS IS SPARTA!!!"

Coooool

Braveheart was simply another Mel Gibson attempt to have a go at the English through his movies like Gallipoli and the Patriot complete and utter made up tosh

[Flopsy]

Galliopli wasnt made up

[FourLaneBlue]

Galliopli wasnt made up

There was a negative portrayal of the upper crust British officers sending the good old working class Aussies to their death which was pretty fair to be honest. That said those same kind of officers treated the working class Tommies as cannon fodder to so it was nothing personal!

[Bazzanotsogreat]

Galliopli wasnt made up

I never said any of thoses were made up, all that i am saying that his films usualy portray a negative spin against whoever in thoses cases the English
