The 300 - Worst Boating Movie of the Year

I neveer was impressed with Pirates of the Carribian or it's sequal. When you said "Paris, Helen" for a second I thought you were talking about Paris Hilton.. LOL!

Interesting computer graphics, and some first-rate "monsters," but the plot, the rationale, the dialogue, oh my goodness, they were awful, just awful. It's hard to remember a first-class movie of any sort based upon ancient Greek history and mythology, which is amazing, considering how powerful the stories are. Jule Dassin's retelling of Phaedra wasn't bad, but of course it had Melina Mercouri in it. Zorba had some interesting mythological and historical references, but it was set in contemporary times. Costa-Gavras' "Z" was also a tale of modern times. Where are the great movies involving Ulysses, Achilles, Paris, Helen, et cetera? (And they'd all involve the Aegean and Mediterranean and boats!) Er, movie. I need to borrow Shortfisher's speeeeeeling czecher. Paris Hilton? What an insult to the memory of Helen of Troy! :} |
