Happy Holidays to one and all,
This is the first time in a month I had any free time.
(1) For Hollywood the battle event scenes were two; Gaugemela & the
Hydapses, for Hollywood they were very good. The scenes from Babylon
& Alexandria (Anthony Hopkins' as Ptolemy recounting of the
events)
were great. The costumes were very good. Please drop or reduce
Angelina Jolie as Olympia (Big Al's; "I like having sex with
snakes"
mom). Actually, that is where the film falls short and is distracted
by these trivialities of homoeroticism, mommy dearest stuff. Yeah,
we get it. But this guy is a "Force of Nature" with planets in
alignment type stuff. Great story, you only have three hours to
focus on it. I rate it at 2 out of 4 stars and yes, I will get the
extended DVD when it comes out. War gamers will enjoy.
(2) Fall-In was excellent E.T.'s rules were very good. The
playability, the feel and the speed were all an improvement, no
downside at all. Please make this a permanent fixture in all
tournament play.
Sincerely,
Craig Scott
