...historian, but a movie based on the Battle of Thermopylae probably shouldn’t have any monsters. Despite all of these grievances, and the others that I don’t have the room to list, the film features some breathtaking visual moments and slick new camera tricks. By speeding up and slowing down certain parts, the director toys with traditional warfare cinematography. The choreography runs the gamut from standard epic-movie fare, to edge-of-your-seat brilliance, to an unintelligible blood orgy.

"In 2004 and all the way through the 2006 cycle, these were your brothers and sisters. But you have to remember that your job is to serve the candidates and their ideas...
...credential makes it tougher for governors as candidates these days." But Vilsack has been a fine governor of Iowa, and is a fine, thoughtful man - a classic turtle, who may prove to be a comfortable resting place for caucus-goers who ultimately deem the out-of-town talent too slick or not Iowa enough...
