I saw Pacific Rim; with satire that could have been something

What is it with Eva Green and incest?!

Alexander is one of those films I cannot really be objective about; I've simply given it a pass for being a long film about Alexander the Great. I'm not sure it's better than Richard Burton's 1956 version but visually it's a gorgeous film. The multiple cuts serve as a fascinating case study of editing as well.

I think it's let down by bad casting more than any other aspect. It's difficult to be persuaded by Colin Farrell's performance, and Angelina Jolie takes her character a bit too far at times. Admittedly, both of these are arguably director choices.

I agree though, a story of this magnitude really needs more time to breathe - either as a film trilogy (possibly based on Manfredi's book trilogy) or as a miniseries.

She definitely orders a pizza online from like pizzahut.com, which seemed mind-blowing and crazy when we saw this in the 90s, and is just the way most people order pizza now. She also has a digital fireplace screensaver she watches instead of using a real fireplace.

Also Dennis Miller is in this movie for some reason.
