Triple bill of historical adventures. In 'The Eagle' (2010) Marcus
Aquila (Channing Tatum), a young soldier in 140 AD Roman-occupied
England, sets out to honour his father's memory by tracking down
the long-missing Roman Ninth Legion in which his father once
served. Accompanied by his British slave, Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus
travels beyond Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of
Caledonia to confront its savage tribes and retrieve the lost
legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. In 'Gladiator'
(2000) Russell Crowe stars as Maximus, a general beloved of the
Emperor, Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), but feared by the
Emperor's son and heir, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). When Aurelius
dies and Commodus accedes to the throne, Maximus returns home to
find his wife and son killed and only just survives the murderous
dictates of the new Emperor himself. Sold into slavery then trained
as a gladiator, only thoughts of revenge keep Maximus going as he
prepares for a showdown at the Colosseum, presided over by
Commodus. In 'Robin Hood' (2010), Sir Robin of Loxley (Crowe)
returns from the Crusades to his home in the north of England.
There he comes up against the oppressive regime imposed by the
tyrannical new Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen). Outraged
by the Sheriff's behaviour and the general state of the region,
Robin summons up a group of supporters and puts his formidable
archery skills to use in an effort to free the people from
corruption and political injustice.

Faux documentary following a year in the life of award-winning
actor Joaquin Phoenix. Beginning in autumn 2008, the film focuses
on Phoenix's decision to move away from the acting world into
music, more specifically hip hop, and follows the star's transition
into this new industry, which includes him attempting to persuade
Sean 'Diddy' Combs to produce his album. Phoenix only revealed the
whole thing was a spoof after it had been shown in US cinemas. The
film also marks the directorial debut of actor Casey Affleck,
Phoenix's friend and brother-in-law.
