Noam Murro’s “300: Rise of an Empire”

Reviewed by Nancy Snipper

Don’t expect historical accuracy here, but the exaggeration is effectively dramatic, as this film should be, as it’s based on Miller’s graphic novel,
“Xerxes”. The plot pits Themistocles against one of the mid-fifth-century Persian invasions. His biggest threat was Xerxes and his adopted sister, Artemisia. She hates the Greeks and ends up commandeering Persian ships against them in several naval battles. In reality, this ferocious fighter contributed five ships to the warring Persians – a female that belongs to the pantheon of other femme fatale fighters in antiquity. 

This film starts where the 2007 prequel left off with Spartan King, Leonidas (Gerald Butler) fighting off the Persians some three days before the gory tumult depicted in this film. Great graphics and suspense are captured in this artistically savvy-crafted work which brings to the present day one of the most momentous events in Greek history that turned the tides of democracy our way. Sullivan Stapleton as the noble, gritty Themistocles was great, as was his opponent, Artemisia, awesomely acted by Eva Green.

This riveting and powerful drama, loosely inspired by the real-life experiences of Olympic cyclist Geneviève Jeanson, delves into the world of athletes taking performance enhancing drugs. Julie Arsenault, star cyclist of her team, has only two more races to go until the World Cup race in Belgium. She and her team’s chances of winning are very high. Unfortunately for her, the Cycling Federation decides to crack down on doping. Doping since she was 14, she becomes a primary target. When her doctor denounces her, she desperately tries to find a way out of the abuse, lies and betrayal.

Ce drame rivetage et puissant, librement inspirés par les expériences réelles du cycliste olympique Geneviève Jeanson, plonge dans le monde des athlètes prenant les drogues améliorant la performance. Julie Arsenault, cycliste étoile de son équipe, a seulement deux courses de  la course pour la Coupe du Monde en Belgique. La probabilité qu’elle et de son équipe de gagner sont très grandes. Malheureusement pour elle, la Fédération Cycliste décide de sévir contre le dopage. Sur le dopage depuis l’âge de14 ans, elle devient une cible primaire. Quand son docteur la dénonce, elle essaye désespérément de trouver une sortie de l'abus, des mensonges et de la trahison.

Vann "Piano Man" Walls: The Spirit of R&B, Canada 2013, 83m, Steven Morris

Harry Vann “Piano Man” Walls (born 1918 in Kentucky, died 1999 in Montreal) was one of the pioneers of Rhythm and Blues and was influential in taking Atlantic Records from a small independent to one of the largest today. The film traces the evolution of R&B. Vann’s heyday was from the 40s to the early 60s when he slipped into obscurity. His reemergence came when he performed with Dr John in 1990. The film also features the recording of his final album, In the Evening (released in 1997) with the Stephen Barry Band. An exciting tribute to a legendary musician. 

Harry Vann "Piano Man" Walls (né 1918 en Kentucky, mort 1999 à Montréal) a été l'un des pionniers du Rhythm and Blues et était influent dans l’évolution d’Atlantic Records d'un petit indépendant à l'un des plus grand aujourd'hui. Le film retrace l'évolution de R & B. L'apogée de Vann était des années 40 au début des années 60 quand il a glissé dans l'obscurité. Sa réapparition est venue quand il a joué avec  Dr John en 1990. Le film comporte également l'enregistrement de son dernier album, In the Evening (sorti en 1997) avec le Stephen Barry Band. Un hommage passionnant pour un musicien légendaire.

“Son of God” ... A Miraculous film

Reviewed by Nancy Snipper

This carefully paced, sublime movie masterpiece is inspiring as it fluidly takes us on the journey of Jesus and his apostles. Jesus of Nazareth begins to gather his closest friends to his god-given enlightenment, power and holy manner, saying simple yet such eternal words of love and wisdom that we hear in The Gospel. Things are looking good, but The Jews are threatened by his coming to Jerusalem on their Passover feast. Judas has told the leader of the Jews where the Holy One is having supper – his final one – as he knows. Interestingly, the film shows Pontus Pilot, the prefect as giving Jesus the chance to live but the vote will be taken by the people. As he appears, we have just witnessed a barbaric scene where he endures 40 lashes,

Portuguese Diego Morgado, the beautiful actor who played Jesus was excellent.

Of course the film without much to-do shows Jesus in various situations working miracles on the common person. His Holy Ghost visits John, now exiled who has outlived the other followers. Jesus tells him that all will start anew and that is when he will return. 

  Directed by Christopher Spencer, the film is yet another interpretation on the immeasurable holy goodness of Jesus and Mankind’s inability to accept him and live in his path.
