The Number 23, Becoming Jane and 300

Three very different films. Of the three, my preference was for "Becoming Jane". Anne Hathaway was excellent, as was all the acting, and the dialogue sparkled.

"The Number 23" had an interesting plot, but possibly suffered from the casting of Jim Carrey in the lead role, and that once the significance of 23 as a mystical number had been explored, there was not much else to the story. But well directed for the few chills along the way.

Similarly, once the "300" had won the first battle, the remaining fight sequences were pretty repetitive. And there seemed no consistency in their coming through the first battles unscathed, to their easy capitulation at the end.
