Really Good Movie; Shame It Went Straight To DVD Decline of an Empire is Peter O'Toole's final film. The story centres on St. Katherine of Alexandria, and Emperor Constantine the Great. It starts off with Katherine and Constantine as children, and when Katherine is taken away by the Roman Emperor to his palace, Constantine soon joins the army in the hope of finding her. While she is a prisoner of the Roman Emperor, Katherine debates his philosophers, and converts them to Christianity, resulting in the death of Gallus, who is played by Peter O'Toole. For this, Katherine is martyred on a wheel. When her body is brought to Emperor Constantine, he has a monastery built above her tomb.

The Dark Knight Rises
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane. MPAA Rating: PG-13 - 2012 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and Legendary Pictures Funding, LLC.
