The best thing I liked about this movie is how it is portrayed and depicted....People who dislike the movie and criticize it because of exaggeration don't exactly appreciate what really happened in history. The point is during that time Persia has dominated over sevral lands. all that's left for them to conquer was Greece. Making Xerxes gigantic and scary simply illustratres that he is powerful and tyrant. In addition, Sparta was marked in history to train their men in their early life in order to defend their city-state in case a war broke out. Those "exaggerated" training scenes are again a depiction that they are fierce and excellent warriors. For those who haven't watched the movie, watch it you'll start to ponder if the word regret was ever in your dictionary.

Walk the Line PG-13

At first, I was skeptical in watching this movie because it happened in the past, but after watching it... I began to shift my perception about this kind of movies. What i liked about this movie is complete in package, it has obviously drama, musical, and a little bit of humor. Also the casts were great. Joaquin Phoenix really showed his talent when he suprised me that he can actually sing country music. The same is true with Witherspoon, although I think the tandem is not that click. The one thing that frustrates me in this movie is the silly attempts of Johnny Cash offering a hand in marriage to June Carter. He even indulged in drugs just to get her attention. Why don't he just keep silent and let the woman decide. But, I think that also helped the movie in a way considering the the coldness Cash has endured with his father during his childhood years. Watch it, cry with it and enjoy it.
