	Top 10 Reasons Alexander the Great Was, Well ... Great!
		In the wake of Oliver Stone’s epic movie about the Macedonian conqueror’s life -- and the pounding it received from critics and theater-goers alike -- we at LiveScience believe a reassessment of the great king’s triumphs is needed to right the wrongs inflicted by Colin Farrell’s hair, Angelina Jolie’s lips and Val Kilmer’s performance.
		Alexander III (356-323 B.C.), king of Macedon, parlayed his father Philip II’s conquest of Greece into an empire that expanded from the Balkans to the Nile to the Himalayas, subduing tens of millions of people along the way.
		He was blond with a ruddy complexion, and according to one source, had one eye as dark as night, the other as blue as sky (Hmm, maybe they should have cast David Bowie.) He was raised by his mother, Olympias, to believe he was descended from the mythical characters Achilles and Herakles.

		According to the All Movie Guide, West once said the producers included "an elaborate orgy sequence, with Alexander consuming mass quantities of wine as dancing girls undulate all around him." If such a scene was ever filmed, it doesn't show up here.
		Alexander rides at a breakneck pace, and yes, a wide shot reveals it is indeed William Shatner doing all the horseback riding himself in this pilot.

	Amazon.com: Alexander the Great: DVD: Robert Rossen,Richard Burton,Fredric March,Claire Bloom,Danielle Darrieux,Barry ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With films about Alexander the Great directed by Oliver Stone and Baz Luhrmann supposedly being released in 2004 and 2005 respectively, the 1956 film "Alexander the Great" from director Robert Rossen with Richard Burton in the title role is probably going to see renewed interest.
		"Alexander the Great" was written, produced and directed by Rossen, who had won the Academy Award for "All the King's Men" (1949) and would be nominated gain for "The Hustler" (1961).
		When Philip is assassinated Alexander chases after the assassin and kills him, and even the most basic understanding of Freudian psychology tells us that the son will spend the rest of his life trying to impress his dead father.

	Alexander The Great - Movie Review
		God help Oliver Stone if his upcoming Alexander is really a remake of 1956's Alexander the Great, as this film's press notes state.
		Burton doesn't carry the movie as he absolutely has to; the result is an experience not unlike attending a late night lecture.
		Alexander's wargaming is interrupted by lessons from Aristotle (Barry Jones), again a terrible waste of screen time that adds nothing to our understanding of either man or philosphy.

	MCN: Oliver Stone's Alexander The Great
		The story is an epic that is as daring, bold and ambitious as its subject, a relentless conqueror who by the age of 32 had amassed the greatest empire the world had ever seen.
		Past and present collide to form the puzzle of the protagonist, a tapestry of triumphs and tragedies in which childhood memories and Alexander's rise to power unfold side by side with the later day expansion of his empire, its gradual decline and ultimate downfall.
