Turn on your plasma screen this weekend and watch Oliver Stone’s “Alexander the Great” on American Movie Classics, June 21 8PM/7C and June 22 8PM/7C.  As Alexander the Great, Colin Farrell pouts and contemplates as he conquers the known world by the time he is twenty-five.  Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie and Val Kilmer also star.

I think telling any story about a great man from ancient history is not easy.  Oliver Stone did a grand job. The above trailer shows it all.
