Anchorman 2 The Legend Continues 2013 - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 2013 and running 119 minutes,I believe what I saw was the "first"release,not the second,limited run with"new"jokes.No matter,still have to see the real first film that spawned this 2 version sequel.Good cast and  few good lines,but by and large maybe it does need that so called new jokes re-release.Anyway,judge for yourself.Trailer url follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

Megiddo - The Omega Code 2 (2001) 3 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 2001 and running 104 minutes,I had not seen this film or anything like it,so it was somewhat interesting till the end which,well,who could do Armageddon anyway??Still I will endeavor to view its earlier predecessor,"The Omega Code".In short it was "The Omen"not yet reviewed,meets its biblical sibbling ending. Its not great cinema buts its a story who filming is long overdue.Good cast helps shoddy production FX.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

Megiddo is a supernatural ride into a world teetering on the edge of the Apocalypse. It follows the rise of a Machiavellian leader bent on amassing the armies of the world for the battle of Armageddon while calamities of Biblical proportions pummel the Earth. Though both prequel and sequel to The Omega Code, Megiddo works also as a stand alone story for anyone who missed its predecessor. For at its emotional core, Megiddo is the Caine and Abel story of the two men enamoured with the same woman, raised as brothers, who grew up to find themselves pitted against each other over the fate and souls of the entire world.

TV Series - The story of the Jews 2013 - 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

PBS hit another homer with this 2013 5 part TV miniseries.I'm not Jewish but I feel I've become one via inspiration after viewing this series.The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because the fact checking is questionable for me,not have a historic Jewish viewpoint of reference. Still Simon Schama the host,is the best thing since Carl Segan.The narrative is fascinating and informative and stunning is its historic references.So if you want a colorful trip thru biblical history to the present state of Israel,its MUST see TV.Trailer URL follows the picture.

See if you must but its not the story I remember as a child.IMDB summary is below and a trailer URL followed the picture.

300 Rise of an Empire 2014 - 4 stars out of 5 stars

This 2014 release that runs 102 minutes is a worthy successor to"300"reviewed earlier on this blog.Forget history and hang on for a bloodiest of FX violence and scenes like a horse galloping from ship to ship in a film about sea battles that was unexpected after 300 which was a land battle.The actors are fine including two favorites of mine, Sullivan Stapleton as Themistocles and  Lena Headey      as Queen Gorgo  amongst many others and a few surprises from the first film.All in all a guilty  bloody pleasure.Trailer follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.Maybe a sequel ???

Greek general Themistokles leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
