The emperor, disillusioned with his son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), wishes to pass power to Maximus to restore the Roman Republic. Before this plan can be enacted, Commodus murders his father and seizes the throne.Refusing to serve the new emperor, Maximus is sentenced to death. He escapes execution but returns home to find his wife and son brutally murdered by Commodus's men. Captured and sold into slavery, Maximus becomes a gladiator under the training of Proximo (Oliver Reed), a former gladiator himself. Maximus ultimately works his way to Rome, igniting a battle not just for revenge but for the soul of Rome.As the story builds to a final confrontation, Maximus must fight one last time—against a corrupt emperor and the cruelty of the empire—to restore honor and justice and to fulfill a dying emperor's last hope.Guests:Robb ConlonFounder of Westport Studios and Host of B2B Business ClassLinkedIn: Robb / Westport StudiosPreviously On: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Die Hard (1988), The Godfather (1972), John Wick (2014), The Dark Knight (2008),

In this Blood Diamond (2006) Movie Review, we explore Edward Zwick's gripping drama that shines a stark light on the human cost of the diamond trade. Set against the backdrop of Sierra Leone's brutal civil war, the film weaves an intense story of survival, greed, and redemption through the intertwined lives of a smuggler, a fisherman, and a journalist. With unforgettable performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly, Blood Diamond is a heart-pounding thriller that forces audiences to confront the dark truths behind luxury and the price of humanity.The Story: A Conflict Fueled by GreedSet in the 1999 civil war in Sierra Leone, the film follows three characters whose lives intersect around a rare pink diamond. Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) is a fisherman torn from his family and enslaved by rebel forces to mine diamonds. When he discovers the priceless gem, it becomes his hope for reuniting with his family and escaping the horrors of war.Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a jaded mercenary and diamond smuggler looking to use the gem as a ticket out of Africa. His motivations are driven by greed, but his journey alongside Solomon forces him to confront his moral compass. Meanwhile, journalist Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly) seeks to expose the corruption and human suffering perpetuated by the diamond trade, risking her own safety to uncover the truth.The trio's quest takes them across the perilous terrain of Sierra Leone, navigating rebel ambushes, government corruption, and personal demons. Their intertwining stories paint a vivid picture of survival, humanity, and the pursuit of justice in the face of unimaginable violence.Leonardo DiCaprio: A Career-Defining PerformanceDiCaprio delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career as Danny Archer, a man grappling with his fractured sense of morality. Sporting a convincing Rhodesian accent, DiCaprio brings depth to the character, transforming Archer from a cold-hearted opportunist to a man seeking redemption. His chemistry with both Hounsou and Connelly is electric, driving the film's emotional core.Djimon Hounsou: The Heart of the FilmAs Solomon Vandy, Djimon Hounsou delivers a powerhouse performance, embodying a father's desperate fight to save his family. His portrayal of anguish, resilience, and determination is deeply moving, earning him a well-deserved Oscar nomination. Solomon's journey serves as the film's emotional anchor, reminding viewers of the human cost of conflict diamonds.Jennifer Connelly: The Voice of ConscienceJennifer Connelly's Maddy Bowen is a fierce and fearless journalist, providing a counterbalance to Archer's cynicism and Solomon's despair. Her character not only brings a journalistic perspective to the story but also challenges Archer to examine his role in perpetuating the cycle of exploitation. Connelly's nuanced performance highlights the sacrifices and risks involved in pursuing truth.Unflinching Realism: The Brutality of Conflict DiamondsOne of the film's greatest strengths is its unapologetic portrayal of the diamond trade's devastating impact on human lives. Through scenes of child soldiers, forced labour, and rebel atrocities, Blood Diamond immerses viewers in the horrors of Sierra Leone's civil war. The film doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths, shedding light on the greed and corruption that fuel the conflict.Director Edward Zwick's meticulous attention to detail ensures that every frame feels authentic, from the bustling markets to the desolate landscapes scarred by violence. Eduardo Serra's cinematography captures Africa's stark beauty while juxtaposing it against the brutal realities of war.Themes of Redemption and HopeAt its heart, Blood Diamond is a story of redemption and the enduring power of hope. Each character transforms: Archer finds his humanity, Solomon clings to hope despite unimaginable suffering, and Maddy's idealism pushes her to fight for justice. The pink diamond, initially a symbol of greed, becomes a beacon of hope for Solomon's family and a catalyst for change in Archer's life.A Thought-Provoking Call to ActionBeyond its thrilling action and emotional storytelling, Blood Diamond serves as a powerful critique of consumer culture and the ethical dilemmas surrounding luxury goods. The film challenges audiences to consider the true cost of the items they covet, making it both an entertaining and thought-provoking experience.The tagline “It will cost you everything” resonates not only with the characters' sacrifices but also with the message that our choices have far-reaching consequences. By the film's end, viewers are left questioning the morality of industries built on exploitation and whether change is truly possible.Critical Acclaim and LegacyUpon its release, Blood Diamond was praised for its intense performances, gripping narrative, and unflinching exploration of a sensitive subject. It received five Academy Award nominations, including nods for DiCaprio and Hounsou's performances, and earned widespread acclaim for its ability to balance action with social commentary.The film also sparked conversations about ethical diamond sourcing, increasing awareness of initiatives like the Kimberley Process. While it's not a perfect system, the movie's impact on public consciousness helped push the issue into the global spotlight.Flaws Worth MentioningWhile Blood Diamond is undeniably powerful, it's not without its flaws. Some critics have pointed out the occasional reliance on action-movie tropes, which can detract from the story's realism. Additionally, while well-acted, Maddy Bowen's character sometimes feels underutilised compared to the arcs of Archer and Solomon.Despite these minor shortcomings, the film's emotional weight and powerful performances more than compensate, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking both entertainment and a deeper understanding of the world's complexities.Final VerdictBlood Diamond (2006) is a riveting thriller that transcends the action-drama genre to deliver a poignant critique of greed, exploitation, and redemption. Powered by stellar performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, and Jennifer Connelly, the film balances edge-of-your-seat tension with deeply emotional storytelling. Its unflinching portrayal of the human cost of conflict diamonds is both haunting and unforgettable.Join us in this week's Born to Watch episode as we delve into the enduring legacy of Blood Diamond. We'll explore its impact on audiences, the ethical dilemmas it raises, and why this 2006 masterpiece remains as relevant today as it was nearly two decades ago. If you haven't seen it, prepare for a cinematic journey that will leave you questioning, moved, and inspired.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

In anticipation of the upcoming release of “Gladiator II”, I'm retro-reviewing the Best Picture Oscar-winning original “Gladiator” this episode. You will not have to ask if you're entertained with this review because “Gladiator” is one of the most beloved movies of all time. It's the movie that made even your Grandma aware of who Russell Crowe was. It launched a whole era of swords and sandals movies and TV series afterwards. It won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe playing General Maximus Decimus Meridius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife who would have his vengeance in this life, or the next. Many motivational and meme-worthy quotes were introduced into the zeitgeist by this movie: “Are you not entertained?”, “What we do in life, echoes in eternity.” I could go on, and I will, in this episode all about this Ridley Scott classic about a Roman general, made a slave, who became a gladiator then later, the savior of Rome. You could consider this part of your “homework” for brushing up on what happened in “Gladiator” before you rush out to see “Gladiator II.” “Gladiator” also stars Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Djiman Hounsou, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, David Schofield, John Schrapnel, Tomas Arana, Ralf Moeller, Spencer Treat Clark, David Hemmings, Tommy Flanagan and Sven-Ole Thorsen. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Robert Winfree and Mark Radulich present our Gladiator 2000 Movie Review!Gladiator is a 2000 historical epic film directed by Ridley Scott and written by David Franzoni, John Logan, and William Nicholson from a story by Franzoni. It stars Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, and Richard Harris. Crowe portrays the Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius, who is betrayed when Commodus, the ambitious son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, murders his father and seizes the throne. Reduced to slavery, Maximus becomes a gladiator and rises through the ranks of the arena, determined to avenge the murders of his family and the emperor.The screenplay, initially written by Franzoni, was inspired by the 1958 Daniel P. Mannix novel Those About to Die. The script was acquired by DreamWorks Pictures, and Scott signed on to direct the film. Principal photography began in January 1999 and wrapped in May of that year. Production was complicated by the script being rewritten multiple times and by the death of Oliver Reed before production was finished.Gladiator had its world premiere in Los Angeles, California, on May 1, 2000. The film was released in the United States on May 5, 2000 by DreamWorks and internationally on May 12, 2000 by Universal Pictures. The film grossed $465.4 million worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing film of 2000, and won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Crowe. A sequel, Gladiator II, was released in November 2024.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

This week, as Gladiator II hits the theaters to repeat the same beats of its predecessor and prove that what we do in life truly does echo in eternity, we circle back to the original to cross a movie off of Hayley's list and get her hyped to see some hunks on the IMAX screen. It's 2000's Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, Tommy Flanagan and Spencer Treat Clark. A somewhat controversial Best Picture winner at the time, it has remained one of Scott's most celebrated pictures despite hardly being his best. While it may not match the heights of his sci-fi output, it is unquestionably the high-water mark of his Medieval Mode, very much in line with subsequent efforts like Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood and The Last Duel, and is still a hugely entertaining sword-and-sandal revenge epic that lifted its two lead actors to another level of stardom. Plus: We get pissed off about the Coca-Cola AI Christmas commercial. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Gladiator is currently streaming (in Canada at least) on both Netflix and Paramount+ at the time of publication. Other works discussed on this episode include Past Lives, Stop Making Sense, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Alien, Blade Runner, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, Aliens, In Cold Water: The Shelter Bay Mystery, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, The X-Files (S5E04 "Detour"), Good Bones, Super Mario Party Jamboree, The Holdovers, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Red One, The Brave Little Toaster, Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shadow of the Vampire and Crash, among others. We'll be back next week to wrap up No-Theme-ber with our monthly canon consideration, as Hayley's got the keys to the vault this month and is using them to induct the Coen Brothers' 2007 crime classic No Country For Old Men, which is currently streaming north of the border on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Ronald Reagan is a president most people know by name, picture, and sound bite.  He had more than a few very important decisions to make while in the White House and, sadly, this film doesn't cover all of those defining moments as it is based on a 2006 book, "The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism."  As always- we do suggest watching this but know that this film takes a handful of jelly beans when it wanted to take just a few of one color.      0:18:00 - Box Office and upcoming releases. 0:33:35 *** What's Streaming  *** AMAZON THE WHALE, Dir.

Dan & Mike want to hear from you!What if you could experience the onset of an alien invasion without leaving your seat? Join us on the latest Oh Brother Podcast episode as we review "A Quiet Place Day One," the thrilling prequel starring the incredible Lupita Nyong'o. Mike and I are buzzing with excitement over this new addition to the franchise, set a year before the original film. We dissect the masterful yet loud sound design and share some candid thoughts on the disruptive audience behavior we encountered. With director Michael Sarnoski at the helm, who previously wowed us with "Pig," and the return of Djimon Hounsou, this film promises to be a blockbuster. Plus, we dive into its impressive box office performance and bigger budget.In our second chapter, we don't hold back on critiquing the film's connections to other sci-fi and horror classics. Comparing it to the likes of "Dune," "The Last of Us," "Alien," and even "The Lord of the Rings," we explore the similarities in creature design and narrative elements. We also delve into plot continuity issues, pacing, and the film's abrupt ending. Wrapping it all up, we recommend viewers might want to save their theater dollars and wait for streaming, despite Nyong'o's standout performance.

And since we're revisiting Guy Ritchie's oeuvre, it's only fitting to welcome Nate back to the show—he previously joined us for our last Guy Ritchie discussion. We completely forgot about this little detail and ended up sounding like complete idiots when it came up. Honestly, feeling lost is pretty much par for the course on this show. So sit back and enjoy the chaos!King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Djimon Hounsou, Aidan Gillen, Jude Law, and Eric BanaNot A Bomb just launched new designs in our Merch store!

Send us a Text Message.On this episode of Fabulous Film and Friends we are looking back at two middling, lackluster sci-fi adventures from 1994 that have mysteriously stood the test of time: Stargate, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Kurt Russell, James Spader, John Diehl, Jaye Davidson, Viveca Lindfors, Erick Avari, Alexis Cruz, Mili Avital, Leon Rippey, French Stewart, and Djimon Hounsou, which was released in October of ‘94 then Star Trek: Generations which was released a month later, was directed by David Carson and starred Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Levar Burton, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFaddon, Malcolm McDowell, Walter Koenig, James Doohan and William Shatner.  I'm Gino Caputi your host, and back for more, especially if Star Trek is to be discussed I have series regular and IT tech Burton Brown, and representing the fresh eyes of the younger, non-cynical generation, author hypnotherapist Joe Field.  The synopses: In Stargate, a crack squad of US Special Forces led by Colonel Jack O'Neill with an assist from archeologist Dr. Daniel Jackson travel through a mysterious circular dimensional portal that was discovered in Giza Egypt in 1928 and kept a secret by the military until the mysteries of the portal could be unlocked. Once on the other side, Jackson and O'Neil discover they are on the planet Abydos with a culture very similar to ancient Egypt. There they befriend the locals and do battle with the god Ra, revealed to be an alien who has enslaved humans on this planet and is intent on destroying the human race on Earth through the Stargate.  In Star Trek Generations a single-minded, pleasure-seeking and murderous Dr. Tholian Soran attempts to destroy an entire solar system in order to get back into a heaven-like, temporal portal in the universe called The Nexus. It is up to the crew of the Starship Enterprise D, led by Captain Jean Luc Picard to stop Soran. Unfortunately, Picard proves to be too weak for the task and finds his ship and crew destroyed, the mission failed and he himself is trapped in the Nexus. Except…Captain James T. Kirk is also in the Nexus having landed in it 78 years earlier the Enterprise B encountered The Nexus on a rescue mission. Picard and Kirk join forces, leave the Nexus and stop Soran through the power of team work.  San Francisco Chronicle Film Critic Mick LaSalle, when summarizing the 1994 Year in Film wrote, “In 20 years will anyone still be watching Stargate? Or Star Trek Generations?”  I agreed with him wholeheartedly that these films were nothing but forgettable, but here we 30 years later and are still watching these works. Add to that, Stargate has had five spinoff  TV series on the subject and they're still planning cinematic reboots. Star Trek Generations was listed implausibly as a one of the great epics in the 2004 book Epic movies and will forever be remembered as the film that killed off Captain Kirk.  So, the burning question is WHY have these films endured?  Find out!
