Now I just got back to the states from a recent expedition from the middle-east in March and everyone is talking about this new movie out...300. I'm like thats it? It's called 300? 300 what? So anyway I finally saw a preview of this film and I was like are you serious? This film is in cinema's now? Why am I in this living room? IMAX here I come. Now I'm the biggest Gladiator fan and I thought ain't nothing going to top Gladiator. Well Zack you proved me wrong. 300 topped my much loved Gladiator with superb fighting scenes and excellent story line. Nothing was over exhausted..the director gives you everything you want in every scene. It's like you're telling him , "hey this is what I want to see in this scene" and he grants your wish. So they say its over rated , okay well Zack Snyder took $60,000,000 and turned it into a $400,000,000 success and the DVD isn't even out yet. July 25th just in case you were curious. I reserved a few copies for this classic war movie. Zack and Frank...perfect combination.

Shottas
(2002)
Jamaican classic
27 June 2007
Shottas is not the greatest movie made nor is it the worst movie made. It's an honest effort from a no name director thats trying to make his mark. If you didn't know , Shottas was a huge underground bootleg hit before it finally came officially available thanks to Sony in January of this year. Obviously Sony saw it fit to push this underground classic. West Indians will appreciate this movie more than anyone else because it shows a dark but real side of what goes on in the Jamaican underground crime scene. Yes this is probably the darkest film to come out of Jamaica , but at the same time it also is probably the best. If you keep up with Jamaican cinema you should know most of their gangster films. "The harder they come" , "Third world cop" are more than likely number 2 and 3 under Shottas.
