A Day at the Beach, or How I Spent My Summer Vacation - Brad Pitt

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2004)

Are you ready for a winner?
Troy is another of the extremely long movies which might tend to intimidate you when deciding which movie you will spend your hard earned dollars on. Please do not let that influence you this time. Troy unfolds at a perfect pace, taking you on a journey loosely based on Homer's epic "The Iliad."
I won't go into the details of a story told for thousands of years, but I will proclaim that this movie will not disappoint. There is a love story for the ladies and battle for the guys. There are no car chases and explosions, but you shall not miss them, for here you will find a story with character development and plot. (how can writers so long ago have done such fabulous works, stories, poems, plays?)
Brad Pitt is Homer's Achilles, greatest warrior of the day. In no way does he disappoint or fail to live up to the roll, delivering one of the best sword fights I have ever seen.
Do yourself a favor. See this movie!
