    From...Princess Monica Kwabena
    E-mail:monicae46@gmail.com
    Dear Friend.

    Princess Monica need your help.
    Good day and Compliments.

    I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of
    God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you
    abundantly and you would never regret this. I am a female student from
    University of Legon, Accra-Ghana.

    I am 24 yrs old. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home
    oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know
    more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time
    coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my father
    died earlier two months ago and left me and my two junior brothers behind.

    He was a king in Ashanti land, which our town citizens titled him over
    sixteen years before his death. I was a princess to him and I am the only
    person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is
    still young and my mother is not leaned enough to know my entire father's
    wealth. He left the sum of USD 7.5m (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand US
    Dollars) in ECO BANK GHANA LTD.

    This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Gold Mining
    Company, development company (GMCG)) and chevron oil company operating in
    our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our
    jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money
    somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what
    belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without
    my present because I am a female as stated by our Ashanti culture in the
    town.

    Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the
    security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by the
    grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay
    20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and
    another 10% interest of Annual after Income to you, for handling this
    transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.

    If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in
    lifting this fund, kindly reach me. Please, note that this transaction is
    100% risk free. My lawyer has assured me that this transaction is going to
    last for only 14( Fourteen) working days and I hope to commence the
    transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my picture as soon as I
    hear from you.

    God bless you.

    Yours sincerely.
    (Princess Monica Kwabena)

    Gladiator was truly one of the best movies for russel crow he did a wonderful job of being a gladiator. It made me think about what really went on back the roman times.

    One of my favorite movies. I'm usually not a big Russell Crowe fan, but with Ridley Scott teamed up with him, I think he did amazing.

    "Il gladiatore" in italiano. Film eccellente dal punto di vista tecnico, penoso dal punto di vista storico: le incongruenze sono troppe per essere accettate tutte in una volta. Ottima interpretazione di Russel Crowe, forse la sua migliore.

    My all-time favorite movie. It still holds the top spot on my list. There have been some close calls. But this flick is just too good, and Russel Crowe isn't even one of my favorite actors. This movie is very long, which i love.

    "The Gladiator named Marcus Aurelius has an extravagant inspiring story"

    Chanellia is pending her words for Gladiator


    "The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. Striking story! But now, the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. And what could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?"

    Awesome. This, above all else, is what made Russell Crowe a star.

    Yeah, you can point to LA Confidential as his pivotal moment, but that just brought his name out. Gladiator made him a household name and ensured him of big roles and big money. The fight choreography was wonderful, the character Maximus was incredible, Joaquin Phoenix, though I am still not sold on that casting job, played his character's scheming, slimy personality to its fullest.

    IF YOU WATCH THE EXTENDED VERSION, IT IS SIMPLY THE BEST MOVIE TO COME OUT THIS DECADE, HANDS DOWN. RIDLEY SCOTT GOT SCREWED SO BAD OUT OF BEST DIRECTOR AND SO DID J. PHONIX AS SUPPORTING ACTOR ON HIS PART AS COMMIDUS, THIS IS IN MY TOP 3 OF ALL-TIME LIST

    In Gladiator, Ridley Scott showed his world-creating genius once again: his portrait of the Roman Empire at its frenzied height is every bit as visionary as the sci-fi worlds he previously created in Alien and Blade Runner. Russell Crowe is the strong centerpiece of this vision - but the rest of the cast is equally excellent; their characters are rich and multi-dimensional. The costumes, arms and armor look plausible, down to their tiny details. The battles are brutal and breathtaking. The city of Rome itself feels alive - dirty, chaotic, gaudy, beautiful, massive, sweltering. And yes, the plot is exciting and holds the viewer's interest. My one complaint (and I realize I'm nit-picking here) is that the writers butchered Roman history in order to have a stunning climax on the floor of the Colosseum: the actual emperor Commodus outlived his sister Lucilla by ten years (he killed her, not the other way around), and his murder brought the brutal Severan dynasty to power - a return of the Republic was never in the cards! It seemed a shame to me that with everything in this film feeling so authentic (down to the smallest details), that something so "big" would be so blatantly incorrect. That said, it's still a great film - and still five stars.

    THE ROMAN EMPIRE - I THINK IF WE COMPARE THIS WORLD WITH THE ANCIENT ONE -WE ALL LEARN A LITTLE BIT OF THE EMPIRE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE TELL ME THEY DISSAPEAR AND THE GREEKS DISSAPEAR TOO, THIS IS A BIG LIE- MAN THEY HAVE THEIR OWN NATION TOO JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.JUST ASK ONE QUESTION THE GREEKS DISSAPEAR? THE ROMANS DISSAPEAR? THEY HAVE HIS OWN COUNTRY.

    Solid flick! gore, action, intrigue, roman showers.. Oh wait, no nevermind forget that last part entirely. Lol this movie is defiantly one of my fave's, something about Maximus finally finding peace the way only death can give after such a screwed up mid life crisis. And that music at the end gives me the chills... good times. :-)

    i was surprised no one noticed the resemblance between 'gladiator' and 'the fall of the roman empire'. i thought someone besides me would have already put it in the "more like this" suggestions, apparently not. so now i'm sure you're curious. if you can find it, rent it. it is an older style and i know some cry-babies can't handle watching anything over 15-20 years old, if that's you, don't bother watching it. i think it's interesting to compare the two.
