...Esoteric treatments in a minimalist setting A Starflyer Is Born In-flight comfort with an internet connection in every seat Take a Hike Destinations to restore your sense of wonder attracts the largest crowds. Look for a tour offering stops at Nelson Mandela's former house or the Hector Petersen Memorial and Museum, named for a 13-year-old boy who was killed in the famous 1976 uprising; then enjoy a shebeen (backyard bar).

The cinematographer is Roger Pratt, who shot Brazil and Batman in the '80s and gave a nicely sepulchral tone to last year's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. And heading the cast is a tony quartet of hunks: Brad Pitt as Achilles, Eric Bana (who somehow survived the wreck of The Hulk) as Hector, Sean Bean (Boromir in The Lord of the Rings) as Odysseus and Orlando Bloom (who was Tolkien...
...themselves, blood, sweat and fun don't make a good movie. Vision does. When Troy opens next May 21, we'll see if Homer's vision came through Petersen's viewfinder to create a genuine, grownup flesh-and-brains epic...
