He treats the material with seriousness but not solemnity, he chooses stories with epic sweep, human tales that are told through action as well as dialog. Like the makers of �King Arthur,� �Troy� and even �Alexander,� he fills the screen with enormous scenes of hundreds, here even thousands, of warriors in battle. In �Gladiator,� the theme was honor, a very Roman trait; here it is redemption, which should be part of any tale of the Crusades. That heroically, epically misbegotten enterprise was the efforts of the Christian nobility of Europe trying to thrown �heathens� (Muslims, principally Saracens) out of the city of Jerusalem, a section of landscape with the misfortune to be holy to three religions: Christianity, Judaism and Muslim. For three hundred years, knights and their vassals left Europe for the Middle East hoping to win the land for their God�and largely to make themselves rich in the process. They were finally reduced to limping back to Europe to lick their wounds.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Moderation is usually a good thing, but once in awhile, more really is more. The release of the special extended edition of �Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring� is one of those occasions. A brilliant, epic movie has had approximately half an hour of footage restored to it for this new four-disc, boxed set DVD release and the result is a film that is even more engrossing, impressive and generally awe-inspiring than the theatrical version, no small feat. By now, it�s hard to imagine that anybody hasn�t heard about director/co-writer Peter Jackson�s astonishing accomplishment in tackling J.R.R. Tolkien�s �The Lord of the Rings� trilogy. However, should you be among the uninitiated, here�s the low-down: �The Lord of the Rings� takes place in Middle Earth... Click below to read the full review... http://www.avrev.com/dvd/revs/lordoftheringsplatinum.shtml Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers �The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers� is the middle film in the cinematic trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien�s epic fantasy about a war for control of a long-ago realm known as Middle Earth, with good humans, elves, dwarves and hobbits on one side and evil wizards, orcs and other nightmarish beings on the other. The miracle of Tolkien�s books was that they managed to distill epic folklore tradition into a particular kind of high fantasy that has transformed an entire genre of fiction that followed. While the filmic adaptations may not have quite such sweeping consequences, they have unquestionably raised the bar for epic and/or fantasy filmmaking. Director/co-screenwriter Peter Jackson brought forth the opening installment, �Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring� in 2001, and it was widely and justly acclaimed as one of the best films ever made in any genre.
