Troy!
Well I really enjoyed Troy. It has gotten mediocre reviews, but I was quite taken with it. I love mythology anyway, all good actors should, and found the handling of a long, long war in just 2 1/2 hours pretty successful. I would have like to have a bit more character development for Odysseus, especially since it was Sean Bean (who's portrayal of MacBeth last year in London just left me blown away). Fight scenes were great, the computer reverbed ones were a bit annoying but the real sword work was excellent, kudos to Richard Ryan, sword master.
Off for some stage combat work in a few weeks, looking forward to it. I also have to teach a "stage knife" class soon, which will be fun. Nothing like arming actors!
