Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes godlike in "Titans"

There was a cheesy movie in the 80s by the same name ("Clash of the Titans") that gets a bad rap but I like it.

I still love the Robin Hood that came out at the same time as Costner's, much better (and loved Men in Tights, when Robin Hood says 'at least I speak with an English accent!). This new one might be intersting, and yes, Redgrave would be a wonderful Eleanor, tho she could read the Yellow Pages and enthrall me.
