Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.

Double bill of fantasy action films. '300' (2006), adapted from
Frank Miller's comic book series, is a modern retelling of the
Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC, when the 100,000 strong invading
Persian Army of King Xerxes was held back in a narrow mountain pass
by 300 Spartans. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) is given four days
by Persia's King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) to lay down his arms and
surrender. Rejecting the proposal, the battle ensues, and the
Spartans are only defeated by the treachery of local shepherd
Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan), who shows the Persians a secret route,
enabling them to outflank their opponents. In the second film,
'300: Rise of an Empire' (2014), based on Miller's graphic novel
'Xerxes' and set before, during and after '300', Athenian General
Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) leads the Greek Army in a war
against the invasion of King Xerxes I, naval commander Artemisia
(Eva Green) and their Persian forces. Themistocles allies with the
Spartans but they are still outnumbered by Xerxes' men. Who will be
victorious? The film was co-written by Zack Snyder and Kurt
Johnstad and also stars Lena Headey, Jack O'Connell and Hans
Matheson.
