El Cid - Wikipedia El Cid and also El Cid Campeador is the name commonly used for the important Spanish knight and hero, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (born in Vivar[?], Burgos, Spain circa 1045, died in Valencia, Spain in July 1099). Never once defeated in battle, El Cid is credited with having made a large contribution to the expulsion of Spain's Islamic conquerors. El Cid's army had a novel approach to planning strategy as well, holding what might be called brainstorming[?] sessions before each battle to discuss tactics. wikipedia.findthelinks.com /ci/CID.html   (827 words)

Xploited Cinema - EPIC TRILOGY (55 DAYS AT PEKING / FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE / EL CID) The triumphs of El Cid's military life are not matched by his private affairs; he is betrayed by his bride Chimene (Sophia Loren) and is made a political pawn by the avaricious Spanish landowners. El Cid has a climax unique in the annals of movie epics: the final assault against the land grabbers is led by a dead hero. El Cid established the short but generally profitable reign of producer Samuel Bronston as the King of the Epics; his imprint on the film is much stronger than that of director Anthony Mann. www.xploitedcinema.com /dvds/dvds.asp?title=2504   (670 words)

El Cid What is unusual in El Cid is the degree to which technology takes over his filmmaking, as it does here with so many grandiose and bravura moments with a roving camera that don't add up to anything beyond spectacle. Charlton Heston plays Roderigo Diaz de Vivar honorifically titled as El Cid (The Champion) who is forced to kill the father of his betrothed Jemina (Sophia Loren) as a result of a feud involving his own father. El Cid takes the role of leader and unites the people but not without sacrifice. www.allbestshops.com /Product/El_Cid.6303282237.html   (644 words)

Evidently the wild Haggis herds have been roaming the hills and forest of Scotland for tens of thousands of years and have survived because they stay away from humans and when approached become very mean (Note: these are long tooth ferocious beasts and a mature boar can weigh 500 pounds).

History Alive -> Thanks bunches Maximus! Gladiator was the last epic movie I truly enjoyed...and the standard to which I now compare all action epics. Now his father in the movie, Liam Neeson (sp?) should have been the star, and will always be remembered for this line he uttered in Heaven..."I once fought for 2 days with an arrow through my testicle!" I also didn't really experience any excitement at the few and far between battle scenes. Ben Hur and Spartacus, those were movies based on good scripts, good acting and not on big, epic battles. s3.invisionfree.com /History_Alive/index.php?showtopic=312   (1240 words)

El Cid: The Legend - DVDtoons Forums Sorry Anthony, El Cid and Don Quixote are two different characters.

Neo-Geo Forums - The Last Samurai was incredible. I saw it as a man who became as good as he could get, and when the shit hit the fan he just did his thing and was lucky enough to live. The movie doesn't play him up to have the swordsmanship of Katsumoto or even the dude that hated him so in the earlier parts of the film (his sparring partner).

Variety.com - Reviews - Going Nomad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) Named after his mother's favorite movie, El Cid Rivera (Damian Young) is a 32 -year-old East Village slacker who can't hold a job and is desperately looking for fulfillment in his life. He finds that gratification by "going nomad." In other words, he drives around the city all night, peacefully thinking and absorbing the bright lights of Manhattan (per the picture, nomads never leave the island borough). The loose story that follows El Cid's humdrum existence is consistently interrupted with weird inserts that have fellow nomads explaining in poems what draws them to this way of life. www.variety.com /review/VE1117913175?categoryid=31&cs=1   (404 words)

Rhythm And Stealth   (Site not responding.

"Chant of a Poor Man," "El Cid," and "Rino's Prayer" all play up the ambient textures, but retain the threatening mood of the more beat-oriented tracks. One standout among many is "Afrika Shox," featuring the legendary Afrika Bombaataa on vocals, which looses massive beats, a dense collection of samples, and some super-fast scratching to create a truly stunning dance track. musicstore.mymmode.com /album.do?albumID=5948477   (394 words)
