    Expecting historical accuracy from a Hollywood movie is bound to lead to disappointment. Ian and I agree that Gladiator II is not worth going to see, but for different reasons, first and foremost being that it didn’t need to be made, it doesn’t improve upon the original, rather it merely rehashes it. Scott’s Napoleon of last year was also historically inaccurate, but it failed principally for containing bad acting and a bad script. Two duds in a row is not a good legacy for a director with a previous strong record for making innovative and genre changing films. Perhaps he needs the money?

      Just seen the latest Clint Eastwood film "Juror #2". An interesting court case story, well acted and I take my hat off to Eastwood to be directing so well at the grand age of 94.

        The Call of the Wild, starring Harrison Ford. It’s been years since I’ve read the Jack London book, which exists on two levels: An adventure story and London’s interest in Social Darwinism and Nietzche. Any the movie seemed like a reasonably faithful interpretation
