The movie "300" comes out this week. It is a fantasy retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae
in which 300 Spartans fought 170,000 Persians.

The older amoungst us, may remember 300 Spartans
http://imdb.com/title/tt0055719/

This new movie is based on a Franke Miller graphic novel. Those who haven't seen the amazing "Sin City", should check it out. In my opinion, the best adaptation of the comic into a movie. Anyhow back to 300.

Looks good
