10,000 B.C.

Who doesn't love stories about the triumph of the little guy? This is a story of life before soap, plumbing, or take out and yet as horrible as that sounds, the movie was wonderful.

A community of hunter/gathers find themselves ambushed by a group of "four legged demons", slave traders from Egypt. Some of their people are killed and many are taken. One young man, D'Leh is separated from the woman he's loved since childhood, the blue eyed girl Evolet.

He and a small group of men start out on a dangerous quest to follow the ones they love and their captors and bring them back home. Along the way they face and conquer many obstacles.

My favorite part is when D'Leh is trapped in a pit with a Sabretooth tiger. Rain is pouring into the pit and the tiger is trapped under a log. D'Leh starts to climb out of the pit, sighs, and goes back down. He looks the tiger in the eye and says, "Do not eat me when I set you free." I won't give anything else away.

Just wait for the big exciting ending. There's a scene with Woolly Mammoths that I know will fill your heart with joy. Also when Evolet appears, in peril but looking fabulous, in an Egyptian gown and make up, think Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra. The resemblance is astounding.

Watch the movie with a group of friends. It's too much to watch by yourself, and you'll need people to talk about it with as you leave the theater.
