There's been some horrible adaptations made in recent years. The worst offenses being against Greek mythology.

Granted the tale of Hercules and Jason and the Argonauts have been done to death. Sure some of the Hercules efforts were laughable, but we need another Hercules movie like we need another movie adaptation of Cleopatra. Lysistrata would be nice to see made into a movie, alas it already has been in recent years. A version of the story was filmed in... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Kester Pelagius) http://cryptspace.yuku.com/topic/423 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:03:26 GMT <![CDATA[ Dragon ]]> http://cryptspace.yuku.com/topic/396/t/Dragon.html Just posted a review of this at the Blog earlier this week. Picked this $1 DVD up with a zombie flick called DEATH VALLEY: THE REVENGE OF BLOODY BILL. Not bad, though all the action seems to take place in a wooded backlot. Which I suppose saves money as there's no other location shoots.

Does Augustus take liberties with historical events? It sure does. Is it a tad sluggish? Yes. Is it half as good as similar historical mini-series that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Kester Pelagius) http://cryptspace.yuku.com/topic/385 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:13:28 GMT <![CDATA[ War Goddess ]]> http://cryptspace.yuku.com/topic/377/t/War-Goddess.html Here's an unusual entry in the medium budget historical epic, otherwise known as the peplum or the sword-and-sandal genre. But what makes this movie really noteworth is it's from director Terence Young (Dr. No, From Russia with Love). And the name!

Romulus and the Sabines isn't your usual mindless sword-and-sandal muscle man action flick. There are elements of romance and comedy here.

While often similar to high fantasy adventures and sword-and-sorcery the sword-and-sandal genre is, for the most part, entirely mundane. While gods and goddess may put in an appearance there's seldom any 'magic' to be scene.
