Half a century

I'm fifty years old today, so what did I do that was wild and outlandish? I went to the movies to see "300."

It was one of the campiest movies I have seen in a long time - at times it reminded me of the old British "Carry On" movies - way over the top, historically inaccurate, and unintentionally comical. I bet when people re-view this movie in fifteen years time, they're going to wonder what they saw in it. It's hysterical, not historical.

As for the Iranians getting all hot and bothered over its message, someone should tell them it doesn't have one. It's like "Sin City" meets "Braveheart" minus the kilts.

My rating; C+
