Bloody Brits! Literally! First they shock our socks off with the LP-throwing, zombie-killing, pub-loving misfits in Shaun of the Dead, and now they turn a trio of nitwits into expert time-travelling, holocaust surviving, idolised gods! But ALWAYS with that great Brit comedic timing! So funny I giggled...twice!

Two Words of which only one I can mention without being banned, Brilliant! The other is said numerous times in perfect syncricity by oh-wonderous-Robin, all hail Williams, beginning with F and ending in king! No Uc!

The journey of greed through corruption and politics, where a man's footstep causes ripples to ruffle more than one innocent's life! The ease of talking their way out of everything- from campaign gaffs to accidental, under-age, secretary pregnancies! The real Moral Code behind elected officials. Watch to see who plays with our lives like a toddler with play-doh! D'oh!

Greek Mythology...need I say more? The creators of "the elite", the chosen ones, the superior race were once "pagan" worshipping soldiers- trained from birth to fight for their thrones. Homer first wrote the fabulous stories of the gods, semi-gods and mortals that fought for power over the world, in a book called The Odyssey, even though Homer was illiterate and the stories he wrote about were campfire word-of-mouth fables handed down through the aeons! Clash of the Greek Mythology...need I say more? The creators of "the elite", the chosen ones, and the superior race were once "pagan" worshipping soldiers- trained from birth to fight for their thrones. Homer first wrote the fabulous stories of the gods, semi-gods and mortals that fought for power over the world, in a book called The Odyssey, even though Homer was illiterate and the stories he wrote about were campfire word-of-mouth fables handed down through the aeons! Clash of the Titans was Hollywood's interpretation of the myths, and Immortals is a more Greek viewpoint of what those stories meant. Adding a Genghis Khan quality to King Hyperion was either a stroke of genius or a racial slur, either way, Mickey Rourke's bad guys never fail to impress. Although in this the gods lack a certain celebrity appeal (e.g.: Liam Neeson), their god-like powers are better illustrated and their bloody deaths more visible than the people's lack of faith. Out of 5 I gave it three stars- one lost for the stretched out storyline (more action than exposition), and the other for the OTT cheesy dialogue and lingering man shots.

This is more about an accidental pregnancy (tomato throwing Spain), a forced marriage (with dull Franklin), post-natal depression (red, blood-shot eyes), OCD's, and a mother who doesn't want a child (see the scene where baby Kevin is crying while Eva holds him at arms length, then stands near a jackhammer to dull the crying), than about an evil child! Kevin was made evil by the hate transferred from his pathetic mother- it swelled and burned inside him until it exploded at 15 years of age! The tagline should read: "Anyone can make a baby, but only some can be good parents!"

Brilliant look inside the hypocritical, incestuous, and damn crazy life of the Royalty in 17th Century England- the supposed hub of civility! The lies and corruption behind the people that decided our future are found throughout Shakespeare's work, attributed to Italian, Greek and the United Kingdom's history, but in truth demonstrating the debilities of Human Nature, especially those found in the close-knit elite. The naming and shaming of these people in Anonymous speaks volumes of the bravery behind its making. The truth of William Shakespeare's identity may never be known, but Anonymous surely demonstrates the strongest case of his identity!
