This week on End Credits, we've got a complex. We've got a long movie about a small man, and all the violence and psychological issues that drove him to try and take over Europe. We're going to talk about that guy, Napoleon, and the new movie that bears his name, and we will also talk about our homework for the next couple of weeks, as we work towards the end of the year and a robust discussion about the best films of 2023.

This week on End Credits, we've got a complex. We've got a long movie about a small man, and all the violence and psychological issues that drove him to try and take over Europe. We're going to talk about that guy, Napoleon, and the new movie that bears his name, and we will also talk about our homework for the next couple of weeks, as we work towards the end of the year and a robust discussion about the best films of 2023.
This Wednesday, November 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:
To Be Concluded... This is the last show of November, and that means we're about month away from the finish line of 2023. In the case of End Credits, the "finish line" means our Top 5 of the Year show that airs on the last Wednesday before New Year's Eve, and in order to make the best possible lists we can, we've got to spend the next couple of weeks cramming. So before we dive into this week's movie, we're going to list off some movies on our "Must See" list before we take final look at 2023 at the end of December
REVIEW: Napoleon (2023). Napoleon Bonaparte followed the same path of a lot of men of history; he went from rank and file soldier to general to government leader to dictator.

It's a story tailor made for Ridley Scott, the director of such epics as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven and Robin Hood, who captures Napoleon's 30-plus year journey from the Terror to his last stand at Waterloo. But after years of waiting for Napoleon to get his Hollywood minute, we ask the question: Was it worth it?
End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
