300 (2007)
Posted by Efren | Filed under movies
it’s been awhile since i’ve done any type of review. but now that i have this kick-a$$ plug-in i think i’ll be doing more reviews of all types of things, and not just media.
and just to remind you… my reviews are short, sweet and to the point and they are full of bias. so here we go…
300
This is most definitely a “guy” movie. full of violence and Spartan testerone. what’s even better… it’s super stylized violence and Spartan testerone. if you’ve ever read the graphic novel that it’s based on, it’s very faithful to the look and feel of the Frank Miller comics.
this movie has a very “video game” feel to it. proving finally, that Hollywood can learn a lot about making movies from the gaming industry, instead of “Hollywood-izing” comics and games, and turning them into crap (aka… Resident Evil, Doom, Elektra, Daredevil… and every other crappy attempt).
there’s not much of a story here, but i don’t think that was the point. the point of the movie is for you to come out ready to cut heads off and spear people in slow motion fueled by movie magic adrenaline. 300 succeeds in that tenfold.
Rating: 
| this is definitely worth the price of admission.

I thought most of the movie was in constant hip-hop-video motion (slow motion)

Efren,
I am writing to request the use of one of your images
for a book that I am submitting a piece for.
Could you contact me via my e-mail so that we can discuss the possibility of this in more detail. I couldn’t find your e-mail on the Flickr website.
thanks,
claire
