...When in doubt, any action film cranks down the action. Here, the bad guys swing their armaments in slo-mo, allowing the good guys to stab them in norm-mo. In one inspired sequence, the action stops as it traces the flight of an arrow, slicing it into separate panels on the screen - Zeno's Arrow Paradox, in a fanboy movie...
...last battle, Leonidas gets an enemy arrow in each tit, and soon he's Xerxes' pin cushion. The image may remind you of Saint Sebastian in a medieval painting, or Toshiro Mifune in Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. To me it recalled some of the more extreme photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe...

Mudam's exterior is sheathed in French "Louvre" limestone that radiates the honeyed glow of its Parisian namesake. The interior - bright, airy and playful - is well-suited to the occasional zaniness of the art on display. Even the museum...
