While watching Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Rob Schneider and David Spade, I realized two things. First, I learned about the fallacy of composition – the theory that says the whole will equal the sum of its parts. Second, I learned that sometimes you have to look past what’s wrong with a film and see it for what it is.

When Spartacus: Blood and Sand premiered on television last year it was met with much critical praise. It was a mix of Gladiator and 300 and pushed the boundaries of television. Filled with violence, sex, blood and gore, the show attracted a more mature audience. Due to the success of the show, a prequel was announced, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.
