The Patriot
Benjamin Martin is a reluctant hero who is swept into the American Revolution when the war reaches his home and threatens his family. A hero of the fierce French and Indian conflict, Martin had renounced fighting forever to raise his family in peace. But when the British arrive at his South Carolina home and endanger what he holds most dear, Martin takes up arms alongside his idealistic patriot son, Gabriel, and leads a brave rebel Militia into battle against a relentless and overwhelming English army. In the process, he discovers the only way to protect his family is to fight for a young nation's freedom.

A travesty
This is a travesty of history. In all the records of the War of Independence there are no incidents of mass murder as those portrayed in this film. However, ... read more »

A Painful Experience
'The Patriot' is so cliched and historically inaccurate that it plummets to the depths of sheer idiocy. As a piece of film-making, it somehow manages to... read more »

Mel Gibson : The Second Coming
- 25 Jan 2010
Remember Mel Gibson? It’s been eight long years since he starred in Signs, more than long enough for this week’s Edge of Darkness to qualify as a comeback even without all the baggage attending Gibson’s spectacular fall from grace in 2006 (when he was arrested for drunk driving and then slurred despicable anti-Semitic remarks to the arresting officers).
