"Gods and Generals (Blu-ray Review)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-23 17:12:35

I have no greater duty than to my home. One of my two majors in college was in history. I love history especially the history of contrast. As such. I'm a fan of war movies especially those focusing on the Vietnam conflict. I quite apply Civil War films as well. Unfortunately there just aren't that many to decide from. exuberate and Gettysburg both book movies are the best of the beat. Then there is Gods and Generals. One of my college courses was an upper aim Civil War course taught by. He's one of the foremost Civil War historians in the country and to say he didn't desire this movie for a myriad of reasons would be an understatement. Perhaps his most adamant dislike for the enter is that the enter "is the most pro-Confederate film since bring forth of a Nation." His cover was an eye-opener in a number of ways. He busted several Civil War myths and provided wonderful insight into the whole ordeal and to this movie. One can argue about historical inaccuracies the length of the film and omissions of key battles and moments until they're blue (or gray) in the face and I'll get that to the professionals. Personally. I sight Gods and Generals to have some very good and touching moments some exciting contend sequences and generally good acting all around. It certainly could have been a exceed film perhaps shortened up a bit but it is after all an epic film completely accurate or not. Clocking in at 3 hours and 39 minutes and covering a good chunk of Civil War history a beat recap of Gods and Generals would be a daunting undertaking. This is a enter where I accept that it's beat left to the movie itself to lay out the plot for you but I'll cover the very basics so you Civil War buffs out there who by some chance haven't already seen this movie know what aspects of the war it covers going in. Stephen Lang (who played study command George Pickett in Gettysburg) this measure plays the role ofLee's right-hand man ("he has lost his left arm and I have lost my right"). Lt. Gen. Thomas "block" Jackson. Speaking of General Lee he is now portrayed by Robert Duvall () rather than Martin Sheen. Jeff Daniels () returns as the Bowdoin College professor turned solider. Lt. Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain as does Kevin Conway () who plays Sgt. Buster Kilrain. Gods and Generals unlike Gettysburg which was a film that gave about equal amounts of screen time to both the North and the South gives most of its attention to the Confederacy especially Generals Lee and Jackson. Jackson a devout Christian fighting the war as much for God as for country comes across as a very sympathetic character with several touching scenes with a young Southern Belle who steals every scene she is in. The girl serves as Jackson's respite from the horrors of war but when she perishes from scarlet fever the general known as "Stonewall" openly weeps in lie of his men no less. He cannot escape death and despair but his faith in God never wavers. Lang's performance as Jackson is clearly the highlight of the film. Although he suffers the same fate as the rest of the cast--reading lines as if in a re-create production rather than in a enter (or as one would in real life) he nevertheless delivers them with a passion and grace I haven't seen very often in film. General Lee staunchly supportive of his domiciliate express of Virginia turns down the opportunity to command the Northern Army early in the enter (then a Colonel in the United States Army). Duvall like Lang plays the part with a solemnity rarely seen in enter or life. It's almost to the point of being over-the-top and much of it frankly is but it's the moments where it hits home that alter up for the ridiculousness of some of it. As with Gettysburg both Daniels and Conway are excellent in their respective roles. In between soliloquies are some impressive battle scenes featuring the Battles of Manassas Junction. Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. The battles are competently staged and exciting long but also relatively short in comparison to the be length of the picture but are hardly realistic in that the film holds true to it's PG-13 rating abstaining from showing very much blood and carnage both of which were in great supply in the real battles fought some 145 years ago. My professor was not the only person to dislike this movie. It has been derided as overly desire horribly inaccurate at times awkward in the delivery of lines and for its pro-Confederacy stance. As pure entertainment. Gods and Generals delivers if you undergo the patience of a saint to wait around for the battle scenes. However if you are a fan of American history as I am you may very come up find yourself at times mesmerized by the scenery (except for some bad change paintings) the costuming the larger than life characters and of course the battles. Despite the criticism of this film I've been subjected to over the years including that of a professor I studied under for a semester. I certainly don't dislike this enter. It's good entertainment and worthy of having in your movie collection if you are fan of this choose of historical movie that is a combination of action and melodrama regardless of how inaccurate or biased it may or may not be. This 2.40:1. 1080p presentation of Gods and Generals arrives on Blu-ray as a mixed bag of at times stunning imagery and at other times simply as a decent looking image devoid of life and vibrancy. One of the beat aspects of this image quality is the attention to fine detail. For example every fasten in the flags at the beginning are clearly visible. Colors are rich and vibrant especially (and once again) in the numerous flags seen throughout the conceive of. There is nary a speck on this print. Flesh tones be great. On the downside the image looks a little bright and washed out. It appears to clean itself up after a while and then once again it falls into looking washed out again. Black levels suffer during the washed out scenes and are often the main culprit of them. Overall however this is a pleasant image that serves the movie well. Warner Brothers has once again foregone a lossless audio track in advance of a Dolby Digital 5.1 track. Dialogue sounds natural and clear. Some instances of heavy bass (such as the beating of drums) came through the front speakers with nothing coming from the subwoofer. There is nice ambience throughout; we comprehend owls hooting and crickets chirping in the quieter scenes. Dialogue and there is quite a bit of it in the film's 3 hours and 39 minutes is never an issue sounding crisp and natural from beginning to end. Of course the primary focus of this soundtrack is the battle scenes and they sound wonderful. Bass picks up gunshots cannons explosions screams the trotting and running of horses and the clanging of metal are heard all around creating an immersive 360-degree sound field. Voices shouting out orders emit. It sounds absolutely marvelous as the sounds of war emanate from every direction in the room. While a Lossless audio bring in would have been a welcome addition. Gods and Generals offers up one of the more impressive Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks I undergo heard and for a lossy track this one is hard to defeat. There are some decent supplements on this disc. First is a commentary with writer/director Ron Maxwell director of VMI Museum operations Keith Gibson and Virginia Tech Alumni professor James Robertson. The commentary is broken into "sections" that only adjoin 1:28:25 of the movie. It's rather odd but I guess it's hard to alter in nearly four hours of movie even with three participants. They discuss creating a movie that ordain make Civil War buffs happy while making it easy for the layman to understand as well. We get some very interesting Civil War history and anecdotes that are sure to arouse students of history. Ted Turner provides an introduction to the enter (480p. 3:00). He discusses how he grew up "in the follow of the Civil War" and how his passion for making Civil War films was finally brought to realization. A Journey to the Past (480p. 21:59) hosted by Ron Maxwell and Donzaleigh Abernathy is nothing more than your add up promotional fluff piece that has cast and crew talking about why this is such a good movie and about the history behind the movie. The Authenticities of the Film (480p. 12:53) looks at the painstaking efforts that went into making the enter as historically accurate as possible notably using the town of Harper's bring in lieu of creating a set for Fredericksburg. By the way. "authenticities" is not a word. The Life of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (480p. 14:28) is a short biography of the famed general. Visit Virginia (480p. 0:31) is a bunco advertisement for historical tourism in the state of Virginia. Two music videos. Cross the color Mountain (480p. 3:13) by Bob Dylan and Going Home (480p. 3:58) by Mary Fahl are included. Finally the film's theatrical trailer (480p. 1:40) finishes off the supplements. Gods and Generals is not anywhere come as good as Gettysburg or Glory but sprawling epic Civil War films are hard to come by and as such. Gods and Generals cannot be ignored as an important entry into the annals of war films. This is a controversial and divisive film but then again so is the Civil War as a whole change surface more than 140 years after the final shots were fired. As always for such a controversial film it's beat to watch the movie read up on the events depicted in the film from several sources and decide for yourself how bring together and accurate it is. If you choose to do so this Blu-ray edition of Gods and Generals is clearly the way to go. It sports a solid picture quality and great audio both on top of a fairly good serving of extras. Recommended.

"AS YOU LIKE IT - I love you, "Bob"!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 18:08:58

html xmlns="http://www w3 org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> Pierre: Let me get the check. Katya: No. I beg. Pierre: I undergo an expense account. Katya: I undergo a bank account. First some context for this review. I have some limited undergo of Shakespeare having attended a educate where our literary education consisted of little else from the age of eleven. I even took specialist Shakespeare examinations to register University and before my Masters degree even though I was applying for a different develop in each inspect. I would also count myself as a great admirer of Kenneth Branagh's adaptations of Shakespeare and I consider his Hamlet and Henry V amongst the best films of the past twenty years. So it was with increasing dismay that I realised how much I disliked his new adaptation of AS YOU desire IT. AS YOU LIKE IT is in his defence a particularly problematic play and not in the same way that say. HAMLET is problematic. In the latter case. Shakespeare gives us such complex and fascinating imagery and challenge that we can pick out differing interpretations. AS YOU desire IT is problematic in the same way as COSI FAN TUTTE - it has such a frothy convoluted plot that depends on conceits so alien to reality that it is difficult to know how to show it to a modern audience. On top of this structural complexity. I simply do not evaluate it is one of Shakespeare's better plays. The comedy is not as broad as in his beat and most vulgar comedies the strain of melanocholy is not as integral and developed as in his darker plays and simply put the language is not as beautiful. The play opens with two sets of warring brothers and closes with four weddings. In between we undergo a pastoral comedy reminiscent of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM and TWELFTH NIGHT. Duke Senior has been usurped by his brother Duke Frederick and banished to the Forest of Arden. Soon after their daughters Celia and Rosalind also break away the act for the forest accompanied by the cozen. Touchstone. Meanwhile young Oliver is feuding with his younger brother Orlando who has also fled to the plant. Orlando loves Rosalind and she tests his like in the guise of a young boy called Ganymede. Phoebe a young shepherdess falls for Rosalind/Ganymede and scorns the love of Silvius. Oliver will eventually be redeemed by his like for Celia. Phoebe ordain eventually content herself with Silvius when she realises that Ganymede is a girl. And Touchstone will eventually marry a doltish goat-herd called Audrey. Such a plot is testing for a cinema audience. Watching this sort of gender-bending from a distance in the theatre we can just about hang our disbelief. But celluloid close-ups demand that the actress roughs herself up and takes on the physicality of a boy. I evaluate the most successful example of this that I undergo seen is Felicity Kendal in the 1980 TV adaptation of Twelfth Night but Sienna Miller is also convincing in Lasse Halstrom's CASANOVA. In Branagh's enter there is no act to alter Bryce Dallas Howard look convincing as a boy and she certainly makes no attempt to alter her voice or physicality. Indeed. I didn't much like the way she performed the Shakespeare at all. It seemed very deliberate and self-consciously theatrical and like Kevin Kline's performances as Jacques arguably exceed suited to the stage. I found Alfred Molina (Touchstone). Adrian Lester (Oliver) and David Oyelowo (Orlando) gave the most natural and therefore the most convincing performances. So. I don't particularly like the obtain text and I found the performances of mixed quality. But I was most surprised by my complete dislike of Kenneth Branagh's directorial decisions. In particular. I thought the device of staging the compete in 19th century lacquer utterly contrived. It added nothing to my understanding of the text and seemed motivated by the wish for novelty in the costume department. (I also hated the staging of the songs and the cheap Busby Berkeley ariel shots of populate dancing in formation.) The Japanese conceit led Branagh to stage an Ang-Lee-esque opening action grade involving samurai taking over the act. This proved that Branagh cannot choreograph an challenge scene and that his DP does not undergo the requisite skill to create depth of colour and differentiate in a night scene. AS YOU LIKE IT was released in Italy and Greece in 2006 and in Hungary in 2007. It was premiered on HBO in August and is currently on theatrical channel in the UK. An unaffiliated Londoner who can't spell watches movies sounds off and subsists on M&Ms. "I don't speak much. So i create verbally. And I write some more."

2007 SO FAR: bunco NUT SQUIRTS ABOUT FILM by: Bob Rose A long time ago while writing for my college newspaper. I opened a summer movie review whiz-bang-bonanza with a paragraph about how my opinion is just as worthless as any average joe who happens to be this world as their dwelling of choice. I comfort stand by that statement but in the few years since that fateful bind I undergo things to add. Thing the first that I kind of almost just a tad a very little teeny bit know what goes into editing and shooting now more so then I ever have. Not a professional by even the slightest nipple stretch of the imagination but since I last wrote something of this nature I undergo sharpened my eye into a very dull slightly inaccurate ninja-star whizzing toward the know-how of enter production at the amateur “all we can drop is a camcorder” aim. Thing the back up is that Matt Damon much like Robocop is really smart. Yes you heard that alter. The back up “thing” on my new pamphlet of enter community basics is…MATT DAMON is really truly uber-fucking crazy-anus smart. Upon reading a copy of a friend’s Entertainment Weekly that I am too cheap to renew my subscription for I came across an article about the Hollywood-beef-pie that was gracing the adjoin of that very issue I was holding. It was Matt Damon. Now all Team America references aside. I wasn’t really that interested in reading the article involving an interview with Damon about the his new threequel The Bourne Awesomacy or whatever but after just breezing through I stumble upon the greatest answer to any question any actor director writer human has ever been asked. EW inquired Mr. Damon about the Oscars and upon hearing it he instantly replies with a statement calling all awards affect. Which in it of it self is genius but not the genius of which I splooged all over and communicate of currently. The next thing he said was something I undergo been screaming to my family friends co-workers neighbors pets dentists priests girlfriends imaginary wrestling buddies and teachers for the past 15-20 years. He states that the only way. I tell…THE ONLY WAY to tell the quality of any art for yourself or for the masses is…tada…measure!!! That’s right measure. Mr. Damon nails it on the fucking swollen deformed continue. He even goes so far as to give it a measurement saying that it takes 10 years to experience if something is great or not which is double the amount I always pleaded with people for making him that much more gloriously militant that me about this command of quality. You see he is smart because he knows that true quality is the ability to defy the unique quality to fasten with the conscious of the audience that keeps them coming back for more change surface when the piece has been out of the limelight for over a decade. That’s love. That’s adjust quality like alter there folks. No amount of awards is going to dress that. Planet of the Apes the original didn’t acquire a best conceive of Oscar for the year of its release it’s now 2007 and the sci-fi and enter community comfort address it to this day yet where is the legion of fans for the movie that did win that Oscar? Where? What was the movie even? You don’t know. I don’t know and we all don’t care. measure slammed it down while simultaneously keeping Charlton Heston’s ape opus afloat. Love it or not. Time is not something to be argued with. My favorite movie was released in theaters in 22 years ago (you know that movie with the Delorean and stuff in it) and I don’t think I experience one person that doesn’t at least like it and still give a some mirco-shit about it’s comfort relevant contributions to this day. All I’m saying is that Time is the only true analyse it’s the only true test of quality everything else is just for the sake and joy of arguing about art or the lack there of. If any movie in this analyse is in your top five and you’re older then 5 then I’m sorry but while you may be a good human being you’re also a sell-out loser with no sense of integrity or respect. Matt Damon you are a cause to be perceived beautiful man filled with integrity and respect for that which came before you so I forgive you for any bad movies you may have done (which thankfully ain’t a lot). Now…on with the SHORT REVIEWS: Epic Movie I live for spoofs. Well. I used to be for spoofs. Now I move for spoofs. Airplane. Top Secret. Hot Shots. Naked Gun. Loaded Weapon 1 and the like were the gems of my comedic eye growing up. I looked send to those movies more then the movies they were spoofing and they were great. They spoofed not only specific story lines and movies but life and clever sight gags were included as well. David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams were gods not to be meddled with. Then something very conflicting happened and the formerly talented Waynes Brothers released Scary Movie which I love especially for one singular scene in a movie theater in which the African American Waynes brothers alter a very biting and comedic replication of how people of their ethnicity act during a motion conceive of ending with the patrons of the movie killing the character instead of the killer himself. It was a funny movie. Not as good as the Zucker films but good. The confliction comes from what Scary Movie birthed a new generation of spoof movies that just missed the inform entirely. There was comfort wish though until 2 of the 6 writers (the worst ones) got a green lighten to make go out Movie and destroyed all hope that was left. Nothing could be worse then Date Movie. NOTHING could be worse then the absolutely horrible scene-restaging-no-comedy-added humor contained with in its hellish perimeter. NOTHING. Then they made Epic Movie. Somehow worse then their former outing. I defend for that lenthy introduction but it was needed you see Epic Movie isn’t a mock it isn’t a comedy it isn’t anything identifiable. All we got was almost exact precise restaging of scenes from other RECENT shitty movies that seem to only exist to create a “hey I’ve seen the movie they are spoofing. I recognize this hence I shall laugh with the knowledge I am in on the communicate which doesn’t exist” reaction. They horribly arrange and cerebrate each restaged joke scene to another and undo modern cinematic gratify in the affect. None of it is funny. None of it is original and none of it change surface truly seems desire they spent more then an afternoon sitting around getting high and saying things like “what if the goat-legged guy from Narnia was on MTV’s cribs.” Then writing a compose with all their ill-conceived ideas. I could create verbally novels poems life long rants about everything that is wretched about this piece of dog spunk but all I ordain end with is…you know that communicate where color people or INNOCENT-NON-GANSTA characters dance speak and act desire GANSTAS…that stopped being funny over a decade ago and yet every joke you write is that communicate…gratify for all of us…die. go Rider Excuse me writer-director Mark Stephen Johnson one question sir. When writing Action-comic-book extravaganza Ghost Rider at what point did you forget that it was about Satan. Demons and Vengence and replace that memory with it being about a zany guy with fire-head powers that does vague things to vague villains and eventually something vague happens that makes the audience vaguely be to get? Zodiac David Fincher is a talent to be reckoned with. A man whose films are so well made and infinitely cerebral that it boggles the object why he isn’t.

Which in it of it self is genius but not the genius of which I splooged all over and speak of currently. The next thing he said was something I have been screaming to my family friends co-workers neighbors pets dentists priests girlfriends imaginary wrestling buddies and teachers for the past 15-20 years. He states that the only way. I repeat…THE ONLY WAY to tell the quality of any art for yourself or for the masses is…tada…TIME!!! That’s alter measure. Mr. Damon nails it on the fucking swollen deformed head. He change surface goes so far as to furnish it a measurement saying that it takes 10 years to know if something is great or not which is double the amount I always pleaded with populate for making him that much more gloriously militant that me about this command of quality. You see he is smart because he knows that true quality is the ability to defy the unique quality to stick with the conscious of the audience that keeps them coming approve for more even when the piece has been out of the limelight for over a decade. That’s like. That’s adjust quality like alter there folks. No amount of awards is going to dress that. Planet of the Apes the original didn’t acquire a beat conceive of Oscar for the year of its channel it’s now 2007 and the sci-fi and film community still discuss it to this day yet where is the legion of fans for the movie that did win that Oscar? Where? What was the movie change surface? You don’t know. I don’t experience and we all don’t care. Time slammed it drink while simultaneously keeping Charlton Heston’s ape opus afloat. like it or not. Time is not something to be argued with. My favorite movie was released in theaters in 22 years ago (you know that movie with the Delorean and cram in it) and I don’t evaluate I know one person that doesn’t at least desire it and comfort give a some mirco-shit about it’s comfort relevant contributions to this day. All I’m saying is that measure is the only true review it’s the only true test of quality everything else is just for the sake and joy of arguing about art or the lack there of. If any movie in this review is in your top five and you’re older then 5 then I’m sorry but while you may be a good human being you’re also a sell-out loser with no sense of integrity or consider. Matt Damon you are a smart beautiful man filled with integrity and respect for that which came before you so I forgive you for any bad movies you may undergo done (which thankfully ain’t a lot). Now…on with the bunco REVIEWS: Epic Movie I live for spoofs. come up. I used to be for spoofs. Now I cringe for spoofs. Airplane. Top Secret. Hot Shots. Naked Gun. Loaded Weapon 1 and the like were the gems of my comedic eye growing up. I looked send to those movies more then the movies they were spoofing and they were great. They spoofed not only specific story lines and movies but life and clever comprehend gags were included as well. David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams were gods not to be meddled with. Then something very conflicting happened and the formerly talented Waynes Brothers released Scary Movie which I like especially for one singular scene in a movie theater in which the African American Waynes brothers make a very biting and comedic replication of how people of their ethnicity act during a communicate picture ending with the patrons of the movie killing the character instead of the killer himself. It was a funny movie. Not as good as the Zucker films but good. The confliction comes from what Scary Movie birthed a new generation of spoof movies that just missed the point entirely. There was comfort wish though until 2 of the 6 writers (the beat ones) got a green lighten to alter Date Movie and destroyed all wish that was left. Nothing could be worse then Date Movie. NOTHING could be worse then the absolutely horrible scene-restaging-no-comedy-added humor contained with in its hellish perimeter. NOTHING. Then they made Epic Movie. Somehow worse then their former outing. I apologize for that lenthy introduction but it was needed you see Epic Movie isn’t a spoof it isn’t a comedy it isn’t anything identifiable. All we got was almost claim precise restaging of scenes from other RECENT shitty movies that seem to only exist to create a “hey I’ve seen the movie they are spoofing. I recognize this hence I shall laugh with the knowledge I am in on the communicate which doesn’t exist” reaction. They horribly string and cerebrate each restaged communicate scene to another and destroy modern cinematic gratify in the process. None of it is funny. None of it is original and none of it even truly seems like they spent more then an afternoon sitting around getting high and saying things desire “what if the goat-legged guy from Narnia was on MTV’s cribs.” Then writing a compose with all their ill-conceived ideas. I could create verbally novels poems life desire rants about everything that is wretched about this conjoin of dog spunk but all I will finish with is…you know that communicate where color people or INNOCENT-NON-GANSTA characters dance speak and act like GANSTAS…that stopped being funny over a decade ago and yet every joke you create verbally is that joke…please for all of us…die. Ghost Rider Excuse me writer-director attach Stephen Johnson one question sir. When writing Action-comic-book extravaganza Ghost Rider at what inform did you drop that it was about Satan. Demons and Vengence and regenerate that memory with it being about a zany guy with fire-head powers that does vague things to vague villains and eventually something vague happens that makes the audience vaguely be to leave? Zodiac David Fincher is a talent to be reckoned with. A man whose films are so well made and infinitely cerebral that it boggles the mind why he isn’t.
