Have no interest in seeing The Passion of the Christ?

Warning: satire ahead--

Can't find a good filmic representation of the last hours of the last Pagan philosopher/priestess of Greece, Hypatia, being hunted down like an animal and skinned alive with clamshells by Christians ca 500 CE?

Well, then this movie is for you!

Atheists Pack Theaters For Controversial Movie About Execution Of Renaissance Philosopher
March 2, 2004
Satire by David Albrecht

Theaters across America were packed on Wednesday for the long-anticipated release of "Giordano Bruno", the controversial movie about the life of the Italian scientist and philosopher executed by the Inquisition in 1600. The film, directed by noted scientist, skeptic and author Richard Dawkins, is a brutally realistic portrayal of the last ten days of Bruno's life. In particular, the graphically violent climactic scenes of Bruno being tortured and then burned at the stake sparked controversy long before the movie's release.

While Bruno (played with admirable stamina by Brendan Fraser) shows flashes of genius and charisma when Dawkins allows his character to do so, he too often flickers and vanishes in a howling horror chamber of Grand Guignol special effects."
