director John McTiernan and author Michael...more |

| After lying on the shelf for over a year, this epic tale based on Michael
Crichton's novel is released with little fanfare right before the Labour Day
weekend, a time generally reserved for servings of crap cinema. Is it that
bad? Not really. In fact, it...more |

| For more than two years, this cliche-ridden action adventure
has gathered dust on the shelf at Disney's Buena Vista Pictures. No
one knew quite when to release it or how to market its blood 'n' guts
content to the public. Antonio Banderas ("The...more |

A strong B+, "The 13th Warrior" is a medieval adventure picture climaxing in
the big good fight. Antonio plays an Arab poet/scholar banished from his
homeland who bumps into a boatload of Viking-types from the North just as

| Vikings v. Bears? No, this isn't the lineup for Monday Night Football.
Rather, these are the two opposing forces that will battle to the
death in "The 13th Warrior," a film that is as dramatically flat as it
is gratuitously gory. Based on Michael...more |

| As you should know, this summer has been less than memorable. With a total of
4 decent films, it's not a surprise that these big budget failures keep
appearing. With that said, you can pretty much predict what my opinion on "The
13th Warrior" will be. more |

| Two kinds of movies wind up spending a lot of time on a studio
shelf: pictures that are so offbeat or unusual they give Hollywood's
marketing gurus sleepless nights, or films that are so wretched the
producers are ashamed to let them out....more |

| The 13th Warrior reeks so badly of melodrama and poor acting that it
carries a worst scent than a canine's least appetizing residue. The
best part of the film would be a close contest between the closing
credits and a brief moment in the middle where...more |

| In a land of filth, muck and bad hair days, Antonio Banderas in THE 13TH
WARRIOR manages to keep his GQ looks. With spotless, well-pressed
robes, he must know the location of the only dry cleaning establishment
in the tenth century land of the Vikings...more |
