Million Dollar Baby: Great acting, great story. could not go wrong with this one. I am a bit tired of the fatc that the truly great actin gmovies all seem to have this kind of ending, but that seems to be the breaks.
Half Way through SLither, love it so far :)
Marathon Man: Good acting, interesting story, boring over all though. Just took too long.

I didn't care for the homophobic nature of it either, expecially since they went out of their way for it (Changing the Spartans stance on same-sex relations for a lousy insult was in bad form.)
Overall...

I didnt think it was homophobic, (i assume you are referring to the comment about athenians being "boylovers"). I dont think you can say in one sentance that the dialogue was too modern and then complain about a very old-school way of looking at homosexuality in the same movie. It cant be authentic but progressive. Just my 2 cents.
