The one and only Dustin Hoffman, the fearless risk-taker with a million faces, was born in Los Angeles, California on 8/8/1937.

Hoffman breathed life to 64 movies in his busy career, including “”Midnight Cowboy (1969)”, “Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)”, “The Graduate (1967)”, “Straw Dogs (1971)”, and “Billy Bathgate (1991)”.

Dustin Hoffman was nominated for the Academy Award for a total of 7 times in 1968, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1983, 1989, and 1998 and won it in 1980 and 1989 for “Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)” and “Rain Man (1988)”.

Here are some trivia facts about Dustin Hoffman:

1) At one point, he was almost offered the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather (1972) and Rick Deckard in Blade Runner (1982).

2) During his struggling days in New York City as an unkown actor, he shared the same house with two other unknown actors — Robert Duvall and Gene Hackman. Hoffman once said “I lived below the official American poverty line until I was 31.”

3) In the Little Big Man (1970) he broke a Guinness “age differential played by the same actor in a film” record by playing the same character at ages 17 and 121.

My favorite Hoffman quote is: “Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me.” (As Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate, 1967).

Have you ever been disappointed with the quality of the prints you received from your local photo laboratory? Or wondered why you can spend hours tweaking your digital images and still get them back with strange colour tones or too much light? Welcome to the often frustrating world of colour calibration!

Problems with colour calibration occur because every computer screen has a different way of showing a particular colour. Even primary colours can be shown very differently if you view them on a different monitor or computer. To see this in action, try looking at the same image on both your own computer and that of a friend or colleague.

The frustrating thing is that the problem gets worse over time - as your computer screen ages it becomes less precise in the way it displays colours. What this means is that while an image may look great on your screen, it will look different and be printed differently at the printers. Some printing labs will try to adjust your photos for you - unfortunately this can often make them look even worse.

Calibrating your computer and a printing facility can be difficult - but in this article we outline some simple ways to achieve greater consistency.

Basic calibration:

There are a number of free online options you can use to achieve better calibration of your monitor.

easyrgb.com/calibrate.php” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow Easy RGB has a simple step-by-step guide that will assist you to adjust a number of settings.

Software calibration:

The Adobe Photoshop image editing suite automatically installs a program called Adobe Gamma into your control panel (START-SETTINGS-CONTROL PANEL). Using this type of colour-calibration wizard will allow you to achieve far more accurate colour calibration settings.

For a free alternative to Adobe Gamma you should take a look at this praxisoft.com/pages/products.wiziwyg.html” target=”_blank” >program.

Hardware calibration:

The best possible calibration results are achieved by using physical calibration devices. By placing the device against your monitor, it can adjust your colour profile to a recognized standard. Although expensive, the Spyder 2 ( colorvision.com/” target=”_blank” > colorvision.com/) is used by many professional design and printing companies.

Colour Profiles

To achieve as perfect as possible a match between the image you see on your screen and the one you get back from a printing lab you should ask for a copy of the colour profiles used to calibrate their printing machines. This is a small file that will tell your computer exactly how to display each colour for the greatest accuracy. Large photographic laboratories may be unwilling to provide you with this information, but many smaller agencies will be very amenable.

A final word

Taking photographs is an important part of capturing and preserving the important milestones and events of our lives. Many people will often spent hours in front of a computer editing their images before sending them off to be printed. Making sure your computer monitor is properly calibrated is one way you can make sure that your passion and effort is rewarded with stunning photographs.

His own keen love of photography has turned him into an evangelical spokesperson for good photographic habits.

This books is just glorified politics of good feelings but doesn’t really tell what his promise of change really will be. Sad thing people will believe this stuff and follow him into socialism.

Review date : 2008-08-01
Good book, takes off a little slow but very insightful. I read it in English and then in spanish, it definetly translated well.

Disregard babysue’s input (17 negative reviews on Obama-related books she has not read), I love how she can speak for latinos when she has very little knowledge of anything outside her little bubble.

Review date : 2008-07-29
Altamente recomendado para tratar de entender las complejidades de la sociedad norteamericana actual y la vision del candidato democrata a la presidencia de los Estados Unidos de America.

Este es un libro que se puede leer de corrido y con un calidad literaria no muy comun en analisis politicos. A pesar de un par de errores de genero que se le escaparon al corrector en la traduccion por Claudia Casanova, la traduccion de los terminos politicos es muy acertada. Las notas de traduccion son limitadas y van directo al punto.

Great translation job. After comparing with the English version, I really liked how the spirit of the book is translated into Spanish despite difficult-to-translate cultural references. The easy flow and style is preserved in the Spanish version making it a very readable book.

Review date : 2008-04-02
En su libro "La Audacia de la Esperanza", Barack Obama revela sus pensamientos e ideas políticas, su visión sobre la vida y sus vicisitudes, las expectativas de la gente, empleando un estilo literario que sorprende por lo atildado y agradable, sin dejar de ser profundo por los temas que abarca.

Todo un hallazgo; lo leí y lo recomiendo como lector que gusta de contar con buenos libros en su biblioteca.

Now that 2005 is over and everybody has revealed their top ten list (or at least a preliminary version of it), the time has come to start looking forward to what we will be seeing in cinemas this year. There’s plenty of movies coming, and to help you on your way, here is my yearly (only the second time, but still) Top 20 list of coolest upcoming movies!

20. X-Men 3
The second X-Men movie is still one of the best superhero movies of all time, but that one had an ingredient that this one is lacking: Bryan Singer. What I have heard so far about Brett Ratner’s ideas for the franchise have not really made me enthusiastic, but the first teaser trailer was pretty cool. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, hoping that Ratner will surprise us after all.

19. Click
Adam Sandler’s movies are a bit hit and miss, but this one has a few things going for it. First: Kate Beckinsale is in it. Second: And so is Christopher Walken. And third: The story is pretty cool, as it is about a guy who finds a remote control that lets him zoom back and forth to moments in his life. Which is great, until the remote control starts showing a mind of it’s own. Adam Sandler and high concept normally works pretty well, so this could be real fun.

18. The Return of Zoom
Last year saw the successful teen superhero movie Sky High, and this year sees another teen superhero movie. Tim Allen plays a worn out superhero who is called back into action, to train a group of kid superheroes at a private academy. Yeah, sounds very familiar, but Sky High was a lot of fun so maybe we will be in luck again with this one.

17. Mission Impossible 3
The most irritating man of 2005 (as voted by movie lovers all over the world) is back in his high profile action franchise. But will it be a hattrick for Tom Cruise? The first one was pretty good, the second one dissapointing, this one, being directed by Lost’s JJ Abrams, could be a return to form.

16. Marie Antoinette
The director of my favorite movie of 2004, Lost in Translation, returns to the big screen with this stylized account of the life of Marie Antoinette, a simple girl from Vienna who became the Queen of France in 1774. A rags to riches story? Yes, although it is unfortunate that she became queen only a few years before all the French royals were beheaded… Sophie Coppola directs Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman in this.

15. Benchwarmers
This movie, starring Jon Heder and Jon Lovitz, tells the story of a trio of friends, who try to make up for missed opportunities in their childhood when they form their own baseball team and start playing against Little League teams. Could be this years Dodgeball.

14. Happy Feet
There’s a swarm of cool CGI animated movies coming up this year, but this seems to be one of the most fun ones. How can it not be fun: it’s about penguins! About a group of singing penguins to be precise. Our hero is a penguin cannot sing, which is a problem, because this is the way male penguins woo the females. Luckily though, he may not be able to sing, but he can tapdance better than anybody else!

13. Miami Vice
Just reading those words will make the tune to this classic tv-show stick in your head for the rest of the day (you don’t have to thank me). This might actually be a better TV-remake than most though, since Michael Mann is directing (him also being director of numerous episodes of the original series).

12. Eragon
In case you are worried that there won’t be a big fantasy spectacle this year (Lord of the Rings having ended, and the next Narnia only coming out this year): rest assured. The next big thing is coming in the shape of Eragon, another movie based on a book, in which a kid hooks up with a dragon and ends up in the middle of an age old battle between dragons. Dragons. Cool!

11. Cars
Normally Pixar is a guarantee for quality, but this time I am a little bit more careful than usual. The teaser trailer wasn’t that hot, and the fact that Pixar has delayed the movie to this year also does not bode well. Although, knowing Pixar, that extra time will have been well spent. I won’t be surprised if this one ends up in 5 star land after all.

10. My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Luke Wilson must be one of the unluckiest guys in the world. His girlfriend is a super heroine (cool!) but he doesn’t know (booo!) until they break up and she starts using her super powers to get back at him. Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes either. Uma Thurman stars as the girlfriend.

9. Black Dahlia
Brian DePalma returns with this slick thriller which stars Scarlett Johansson. Oh, you want to know more? Well, it’s all about two cops who try to hunt the killer of a young actress. Next to Johansson, we will also see Hilary Swank, Josh Hartnett and Aaron Eckhart. This one looks like a lot of fun.

8. The Da Vinci Code
Were you sick and tired of all the Da Vinci hype when the book came out two years ago? Get ready to be sick all over again when the hype for the movie version starts! If you, like me, did like the book though, I think you will be in for a thrillride, as Ron Howard directs Tom Hanks and Audrey ‘Amelie’ Tatou.

7. Casino Royale
The return of James Bond, but not as you know him! The new Bond goes back to the early days of Bond and will be stripped of many of the elements that made the Bond movies so successful in the first place. Let’s hope they won’t strip away too much, unless the stripping involves the new Bond girl!

6. Pirates of the Caribbean 2
The first Pirates of the Caribbean movie was brilliant, and everything points towards this second part being just as much fun. Everybody returns, plus there are some cool new characters to add to the mix. And if you cannot get enough of Captain Jack Sparrow and his friends: this was shot back to back with the third movie, which will be released next year.

5. A Scanner Darkly
Richard Linklater returns to his passion for animation with this movie that is a combination of real life acting and animation. Not in the regular sense though, because in Linklater’s movie all the actors are traced by animators, giving the whole movie a very interesting visual effect.

4. Nacho Libre
The director of Napoleon Dynamite returns with this movie about a Mexican priest (Jack Black) who at night dons the outfit of a lucha libre wrestler to raise money for the local orphanage. I don’t know why, but this movie just sounds like it could be the funniest thing since… Well… Napoleon Dynamite!

3. Lady in the Water
M. Night Shyamalan will give us some more of his own brand of movie making with Lady in the Water, starring Paul Giamatti and Bryce Dallas Howard. Giamatti is a landlord who one day finds a mysterious woman in the pool of his building. We don’t know much more about the movie yet, but with a Shyamalan picture you don’t want to know too much in advance anyway. Sounds very intriguing!

2. Superman Returns
Bryan Singer did great things with the X-Men franchise, and when you have the greatest superhero of them all at your disposal, what can go wrong? (Let’s hope those words won’t come back to haunt me…)

1. The Fountain
Darren Aranofsky will this year hopefully unleash his latest work, which involves romance and time travel and stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. A man finds out the love of his life is dying, and he starts a journey to the fountain of life in order to be able to save her life…

Are you gambling on the Intenet and searching for online gambling strategies to give you an edge? You’ve come to the right place to begin your journey, or double-check your basic approach.

The most important thing to understand, whether you’re gambling online just for fun, or for your own real, hard-earned money, is what constitutes a winning attitude. The core of a winning attitude is this:

Gambling well is not a game.

To win consistently and take home money, there are certain steps you need to take before you hit the casinos. Let’s look at the attitude adjustments most recommended by the experts in the field of online gambling:

1. Most gamblers play until they run out of money. Don’t. If you keep this simple precept in mind, you are much more likely to quit while you’re ahead. The vast majority of gamblers in the world tell themselves, “I’ll just set aside this amount of money, that I can afford to lose, and then when it’s gone, so am I.” What happens in most cases is the opposite. When the “fun fund” is gone, the gambler, feeling that it must be about time for him to win, continues to play. That’s when you start getting into real trouble. It’s been proven over and over: the longer you play, the more you lose. If you can get a handle on your greed, you will have a tremendous advantage over the house!

2. If you want to make money gambling online, treat it more like a job than a game. True, you’re playing cards, rolling dice and so on. But to be successful, you must make this slight attitude adjustment. Thinking of the process as a “job” will give you the impetus you need to familiarize yourself completely with the rules of each game, and strategies the experts have proven over and over. This, in turn, gives you a winning edge. And that’s when you will start to have a lot more fun!

3. Get yourself some realistic goals, and stick to them. Here’s an example. You have $50 and you’re willing to risk it gambling online. Are you looking to make ten times your investment? Then you need to readjust your thinking. A more realistic goal would be to double your money. Then if you reach your goal, you must take your greed by the throat, put it on a leash and quit the game for that session!

Casinos count on gamblers doing the opposite of those strategies outlined above. Have you noticed how they continue to flourish, while most gamblers fall by the wayside? Don’t become casino roadkill! Get information. Get smart. Get serious about the game.

The Internet is a great place to find online gambling strategies. You will want to read up as much as you can on each different game you play, since strategies vary, according to the game. Below are some tips and strategies from the experts for the most popular gambling game, blackjack. They illustrate the kind of valuable information you can get by doing your homework, either surfing the net, or reading a good, informative book on gambling strategies. You would do well to continue researching your favorite game before you place your bets.

Blackjack strategy

In blackjack–the most popular of all gambling games–there is a right way to bet, and a wrong way to bet. The real players, the ones who consistently make money on this game, have all studied basic blackjack strategy, )sometimes called “perfect blackjack”). Why does it work? It has to do with understanding when calling for a hit is in your favor and when it is better to stand. The odds for winning over the house are all well established for every situation. The only way to win more often at blackjack than by using the basic blackjack strategy is to count cards… and that’s illegal!

Your attitude adjustment has now begun, and you’re on your way to a new and more successful gambling experience. Congratulations!

INSPIRATIONAL COMMENTS:

“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.” – Mayer Amschel Rothschild.

Bucky Fuller said these most important words in 1981:

‘The U.S.A. is not run by its would-be ‘democratic’ government. All the latter can do is try to adjust to the initiatives already taken by [the] great corporations. Nothing can be more pathetic than the role that has been played by the President of the United States, whose power is approximately zero. Nevertheless, the news media and most over-thirty-years-of-age U.S.A. citizens carry on as if the president had supreme power.’

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.” - Albert Einstein

“The Lord Buddha has said that we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity; nor rumors, as such; nor writings by sages, because sages wrote them; nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration); nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters. But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness. ‘For this,’ says he in concluding, ‘I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard, but when you believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly.’” - Secret Doctrine, Vol. III, page 401. [vii]

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” — Paine, Common Sense, 1776.

INTRODUCTION:

Is there a more mysterious man in recent history than the priest who built Tour Magdala and spent enough money to terraform sixty planets? The fabulously best-selling book called The Da Vinci Code is just the tip of the iceberg. The real issues will be addressed in this book but do not expect to learn all there is about all that must be contemplated if we are to have any idea why Saunière received this money. That takes many more books and some things I am not fully cognizant of. I may know a lot but I do not know everything and in the sciences involved in these contemplations (including even Time Travel or Viewing) I doubt there is anyone who knows it all. Despite those caveats I am pretty sure this book will give the most comprehensive insight that anyone has done.

Am I Talented Enough?

First off if you’re really asking this question then you are already failing your audition. Let’s return to our Mantra from the first lesson in The Ultimate Audition Guide Win The Part.

“You deserve to get the part so believe in yourself – because if you don’t they won’t.”

Talent is not measurable on a fixed scale of 1 to 100. ‘Talent’ is something that is ‘relative’ in every audition and every production. What I mean by that is this: Your talent is only measured against the talent of the other people who are involved, not the whole world. Of course if you were to put the whole world in one audition then you’d fall somewhere from top to bottom but in reality you only have to worry about your immediate competition. Do you have what it takes to beat the others in the room? And remember – “You deserve the part…..”

Imagine though, for sake of argument that everyone in your audition is equally ‘talented’ and by that I mean their ‘performance abilities’ are all on a par. How does a director choose between them now? Simple, by factoring in the physical look he wants for his show and adding on the performer’s “Sparkle Rating” mentioned earlier.

Think of your audition like an exam. In an acting audition, for example, the director may award 60% of your marks based on your physical skills (acting, singing, dancing) but the other 40% for the way you deliver yourself in the audition – your ‘Sparkle Factor’.

Some people approach auditions with the arrogant attitude that they are the ‘best’, and because they ‘have the most talent’ they will get the part but you can easily beat these people to a part.

Their ‘ability’ might earn them a score of 5/6 but they are more likely to overlook the value of the ‘Sparkle Factor’ and only score 1/4 from the director there. In total they score 6/10 on their audition.

You enter the audition and only score a 3/6 on ‘ability’ but with the finely polished ‘Sparkle’ skills that you have practiced from this course you can ace the audition with a total 7/10 by scoring 4/4 on ‘Sparkle’ and getting the part.

You would be surprised how many potential lead actors and actresses I have seen lose a part they were capable of playing to another actor simply because they approached the audition with the wrong attitude.

Remember - even if you don’t think you’re the best in the world at what you do that doesn’t matter:

RULE #2 “Winning the Part is about learning to score better than the competition. And there is much you can do to improve you score regardless of ability.”

(If you do already think you are the best in the world BEWARE – it’s a long fall from up there! For the rest of us who know we’re not perfect you can learn how to trounce the competition in the ‘Sparkle’ stakes as discussed in detail in The Ultimate Audition Guide.

Until next time - Best of luck in your auditions,

Salman Khan, one of the leading actors of Bollywood film industry, was born on 27 december,1965 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. His full name is Abdul Rashid Salman Khan. He is the son of famous script writer Salim Khan. Salman has two brothers and two sisters. His brothers Sohail Khan and Arbazz Khan are also actors. Arpita, and Alvira Agnihotri are the sisters of salman. He was voted world’s 7th best looking man and the best looking man in India by People Magazine, USA.

Salman’s Acting career started with a supporting role in the film “Biwi Ho To Aisi” in 1988. His first movie as a lead character was “Maine Pyar Kiya” in 1989. It was a huge success and was one of the most grossing films in Bollywood history. This movie also brought him Filmfare Best Debut Award. It was also the debut of director Sooraj Barjatya. His second movie with the same director was “Hum Aapke Hain Koun” was also a big successful venture and still remails one of Indian highest grossing movies. Up until now Salman has acted in more than 60 movies and has won many awards for his stupendous performance. Some of his biggest hits are Saajan, Sanam Bewafa , Karan Arjun, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam etc. According to critics his best performance so far is in the movie Tere Naam as Radhe Mohan. His recent releases were Baabul and Jaan-E-Mann. Around six of his films are in production including his first Hollywood movie, Marigold: An Adventure in India.

Salman is one of the most contraversial persons in the Bollywood film industry, though some of the people who know his very well say he is infact a very kind-hearted person. He is facing trail under four cases. In 1998 he spent about one week in jail after he was arrested for allegedly killing wild animals of protected category. He is said to have killed chinkaras and black bucks, which fall under the protected wild animal category. He is also a defendant in illegal possession of arms act. On september 28, 2002, he was in headlines of news again for a wrong cause when he crashed his car onto the pavement near the American Express bakery in Bandra, where some people were sleeping. That accident resulted in the death of a man and secere injuries to three others. And there was also a case filed by the parents of Aishwarya Rai, alleging that Salman made threats against Aishwarya’s family. It was the end of Salman’s relation with Aishwarya Rai which lasted about two years. On April 10, 2006, Salman was sentenced to a five year prison for hunting the endangered Chinkara and was remanded to Jodhpur jail until he was granted bail on April 13. The chances are that he would have to spend a hell lot of time in prison after he has used every arm in his store to win the verdict in favour of him. If that happens that could very probably be the end of his Bollywood career.

But when You come to the other side of salman, You would have to discover some good qualities in this supposedly arrogant actor. The people, be them from film industry or his close friends, who know him closely say he is a kind-hearted person and he frequently visits sick children in hospitals, as well as donates blood. He even shares happy moments with his young friends from the communities he visits. He is said to be moody and unpredicatable but can be very caring, protective and loving. He believes in giving chances to newcomers. Whenever he is free between shots, he spares time to listen to the scripts of newcomers. He is a very close friend to actor Sanjay Dutt and he has a good friendship with actress Sushmita Sen. He was said to have dated Sangeeta Bijlani, Somy Ali. And his affair with Aishwarya Rai is a well-known one. Salman and model-turned actress Katrina Kaif are moving very closely for the present time.

Though Salman is not supposed to be a good guy as a person, as an actor he has entertained a large number of people and won the hearts of many. Let’s hope everything goes well for him and he keeps entertaining the audience for a long time.

Very well done and I hated to see it end. Whoever the writers were did their historical homework, and took very little editorial license. Highly recommended.

Review date : 2008-07-15
Once again, George Lucas has thoroughly entertained and intrigued us with his use of combining history and adventure in Young Indy’s life in a serious and humorous way. We also enjoyed all the many extras that give us the background on the historical figures we encounter along with Indy. Fact and/or fiction — a very nice way to take on an adventure and possibly learn a little history as well.

I fell in love with the first volume of this DVD release - if only for the special features. (See my review under that title.) The re-edited stories on Volume one were confusing but the 10-½ hours (!) of NEW documentaries blew me away! George Lucas and Rick McCallum put their money where there mouth was (and Paramount went out on a limb by putting 10 DVDS in one set) and it shows. The documentaries are well researched and use the experts in the field.

I’m not a big War Years fan so Volume 2 was just okay for me but - again - high quality documentaries were attached.

Then came this volume. First, I headed to the documentaries - Jazz - Louis Armstrong - Ben Hecht - The Algonquin Round table. Each was better than the next with super footage in crisp quality prints and all the experts. Then I decided to watch the series episodes on the Blues and Hollywood. I’m as big music fan so I gave them a shot. WOW! Was I impressed! The Mystery of The Blues episode is loaded with great music - yes, full musical numbers. And each of the three women that Indy falls for is more gorgeous than the next. And how many films feature clarinetist Sidney Bechet as it’s lead character for 90 minutes? (You even get a bit of Harrison Ford at beginning and end!). The last episode on early Hollywood was great too with lots of cool stunt work and an over-the-top performance by the actor playing eccentric Director Eric von Stroheim.

I was really sorry to hear that the series ended with this episode. I’m hooked!

All the volumes belong in every school and public library as a learning tool. Each of the 25-35 minute docs is a new learning tool for adults as well as older children. I certainly give this volume FIVE STARS! And a BIG thanks to Lucas, McCallum and Paramount!

George Lucas should definitely produce more Young Indiana Jones episodes. The episodes of volume three are all terrific and represent a wide range of events, genre, and most important, allow further character development of Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones gets to teach some history while endearing himself to us as a good man with a keen mind and open heart facing his own life lessons. New episodes might finally explain how this trusting young man he created grew to be a cynical adult of the feature films. It’s this satisfied viewer’s hope that Sean Patrick Flanery finally gets the credit he deserves for his many exquisite performances throughout this series. The episode in Italy with the young Ernie Hemingway is as good a "buddy movie" as Hope and Crosby, Newman and Redford, or any other Hollywood team has ever created.

Rubbish. I got caught up in the hype for Indy 4, so I brought these dvds when they were on special. I watched about 30 mins for disc 1 before I turned it off. I had not seen the series before and it was not what I thought it would be.

The latest Hollywood blockbuster historical epic has just hit our movie screens. Fans of spectacular swords and sandals extravanganzas like ?Gladiator? and ?Troy? will be clamoring to see ?Alexander?, the latest work by legendary director Oliver Stone.

?Alexander? stars Hollywood man of the moment Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great, the 4th century Macedonian king and military genius who conquered the entire known world by the age of 25. Angelina Jolie plays his mother, and Val Kilmer his father, while love interest duties are fulfilled by Rosario Dawson as Alexander?s Persian princess wife Roxanne. Jared Leto plays Alexander?s influential childhood friend Hephaistion, whose brief love affair with Alexander is portrayed in a subtle, suggestive way. The film also features respected veteran actors Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Plummer.

The scale of the story is truly epic, following the story of Alexander?s rise from ruler of tiny Macedonia, to conquer the might of the Persian Empire, then Egypt and ultimately India. His conquest shaped the destiny of the Western world for centuries to come by spreading Greek culture throughout the known world and paving the way for the expansion of the Roman Empire.

Stunning cinematography, magnificent locations and spectacular visual effects are probably the real stars. The film was shot in locations in Morocco, Thailand and the UK, and the sweeping landscapes and computer enhanced battle scenes are truly breathtaking, even for contemporary audiences jaded by a constant barrage of cinematic miraculousness. At almost three hours, this extravagant marathon of a film places itself decisively within the grand Hollywood epic tradition.

Critics? reaction to the film has been underwhelming, to say the very least. Most are describing it more or less as a triumph of style over substance, as critics will tend to do with a major release of this type. However, audiences who love good entertainment will be the final judge.
