    Oliver Stone's adaption of the story of "Alexander" stars Colin Farrell as the young man who grew to be conqueror of the world. As a young boy Alexander was cherished by his mother (Jolie) and did all he could to earn his father's (Kilmer) love and respect. With passion and determination and a great sense of duty, Alexander was driven to become the world's greatest warrior of all times. (Tricia Spears)

    Reason #86 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it offers in-depth, techno nerd detail level views and information about technology; integrated with a plain, easy-to-understand newbie explanation. The combination helps keep the inexperienced and experts alike informed, up-to-date, and market aware. Without Widescreen Review, I'd be just another large electronics store item purchasing sheep. Thank you for shepherding me towards the light.
