300 (2006)
Immense
Frank Miller said all the way along that it was not historically accurate...therefore it is only fair that we allow him the poetic license that has been used throughout. By having Ephialtes as a deformed Spartan made you sympathise with him, by having the Persians forced back wave after wave of assault to the Phalanx and by showing that the Spartans had some brilliant one liners! The main part is where the Persians finish off the Spartan contingent with arrows as they were too afraid to face them again, which by all accounts is true. A brilliant "tribute" to the 300 Spartans in which the whole cast and crew have done them proud with this amazing motion picture.
Swimming with Sharks (1994)
He who must be obeyed
This film just sums up what it is to be a flunky in Hollywood. Buddy Ackerman is your normal high flying film producer, from the sharp suits down to the aggressive approach to anyone below him. Guy is flunky who has the job of dealing with Buddy's every whim, and then there's Dawn Lockard who is stuck in the middle. With an explosive relationship between all of them, the film is set at the home of Buddy. Guy has taken him hostage, and is annoyed that Buddy has fired him. Set with a series of flashbacks starting with an appearance with Benicio Del Toro, it tells the tale of what Guy has had to put up with in working for Buddy and all the hell he was put through to get to the place that he was before being fired over nothing. Very under-rated film and Spacey is amazing. Also applause to go to Frank Whaley for his great conflicting work with Spacey. A+
