The Allegoric Hegemony

The 2004 version of Spartacus stars Goran Visnjic as the title characater and Paul Telfer as his loyal little buddy, Gannicus.  Spartacus, the Thracian, is a slave taken into gladiator school who leads a revolt of Roman slaves (circa 73 BC -71 BC).  After leading the Romans on a bit of a chase, he is finally tracked down by the irate Roman consuls.  Let’s face it, you’d be a bit ticked off too if someone had stolen all your hunky slave boys.

Paul Telfer stars in Hercules as the title character.  Action, killing and blood aplenty as this follows (somewhat) the traditional labors of the Greek demigod.  Little of the humor found in the Kevin Sorbo version, but still packed with well muscled, hairy chested hero.
