This is the best of the bunch.
As for Kruger... I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen pics of her and I do think she's cute. 1000 ships? Nah. Perhaps there's a sorcery aspect to this whole story that we are not aware of and Helen was really just some ugly ass hag who had a spell on the two armies to see her for more than what she truly was (that might explain Gwyneth Paltrow, too). But who's to say for sure, right?
Kruger is cute, no question. And, to tie in the 1000 ships concept to the immortal words of Burgess Meredith, "it's time to take the skin boat to Tuna Town."
