| | Posted: | | | | With the advent of TV film makers started putting in more and more realism instead implied sex and violence in order get people in the theaters.
I think it was Robert Altman comment on The Player about putting in the obigitory nude scene.
Now they have to have their obligatory sex scenes. To me sex is a participation sport not a spectator's sport.

If you've seen the new series Spartacus: Blood & Sand, you may see where I'm coming from. |

Who said I found such films entertaining? I have several films that I have discovered to be not especially entertaining.

I just don't understand buying something I don't think I would enjoy. I knew, when I purchased Jurassic Park, that people were going to suffer at the hands of dinosaurs. If that wasn't something that I cared for, I wouldn't buy the DVD.

The review say the acting and production is pretty bad. My review says it's pretty damn good. There is a LOT of graphic violence and nudity though so if you're not into that at all, be glad you're born in this era. So far, I'd say if you enjoyed Gladiator and 300 (with some soft porn liberally tossed in), you'll like it. |
