DVD - Alexander

? out of 10

Angelina Jolie spit in Colin Farrell's face! Ha HA! Good for her.

Good:
See above. Wow, what an interesting and ultra-cool cast! Whoever did the casting really was inspired. (Except for when they cast the crass Colin (Colon) Farrell - yuck). Jared Leto is a beautiful man with such a soulfulness. Angelina Jolie - ok, just, *swoon* - I'm really not a nut over her, but I do admire her, think she's like this wonderfully raw nerve with great talent. I mean she just GLOWED. Jesus, in the coliseum she's the singular spot of luscious red in a sea of white togas. It tells about her part in the plot to [edited - spoiler], but more important how stunning did that look?? I kept thinking what Hell it must be like to actually be her. How can one woman be so luminous, and look more and more gorgeous every time you see her? Does that mystifying quality that makes her so scrumptious actually last out into Infinity? Anthony Hopkins, Val Kilmer (great performance). Rosario Dawson??? *gasp swoon* I have always loved her! Snakes and sorceresses with fake Hungarian accents. Gorgeous Visuals. And, of course, Oliver Stone's unique and fantastic use of color.

Bad:
Why, oh, why, Oliver did you have to make this movie so damn long and tedious? Why, God, why, Colin Farell??? Pluck out my eyes now! Alexander's character was so conflicted, unsettling so, and in the end boring and stupid. I also had visions of The Big W making speeches of freeing slaves from barbaric tyranny. And, doesn't that just leave a sense of "Yuck" in your belly. I can also do without all the blood throughout and the hacking, gouging, and bludgeoning of the really great wonderful black horse. Double yuck. We didn't get to see Alexander and Hephaistion get it on. Most of all, though, just save me from COlin Farrell disgusting ass, plus his ugly ugly bleached-out mullet, and I can live with the rest.
