We figured it was an epic that demanded being seen in large format. As it's been out a while and there's always a slew of new releases during the Christmas break, it will probably soon slip away from screens at even the 21-cinema complexes. Therefore, we went to see Alexander yesterday afternoon. The film's ambitions might not have actually matched the results; however, it's worth seeing. Speaking of worth: Alexander ran 173 minutes. If I get out my calculator . . . I can see that it cost just 6.33 cents per minute to view this movie. That's a good deal! Remember though, this was determined by same guy who decides which wine to buy by dividing alcohol-content by price.
