Great
Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton star as Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy in this really great and Hollywood class TV movie about the famous feud between the two families. Set in the late 1800’s after the civil war, these Kentucky and Virginia natives define early American hillbilly lore, and how t…

Good
Ultra-smart, psychic, but troubled opium smoking and laudanum ingesting inspector Aberline (Johnny Depp) leads us through this dark adventure of the hunt for Jack the Ripper. This is Victorian London at its worst, filthy streets, filthy harlots, crazy medical procedures, and even crazier results…

Good
I’d call Zulu Dawn “the Little Bighorn of South Africa.†If ever there was a cause more unjust – it was the British attempt to oust the Zulus from their territories in South Africa – despite the fact they were honoring an agreement to stay away. And, as this is a true story, I’m not spoi…

Great
Every possible plot you’d want from a western is weaved in to Tombstone, and a stellar cast makes this film a must-see on any fan of the genre’s “must see” list. Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer (who is great imho), Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton , Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley…. Need I g…

Very Good
One of the most unique Westerns I’ve ever seen…. Tough homestead spinster “Plain as an old tin pail and bossy” Hillary Swank volunteers to take 3 insane women from their harsh Nebraska homestead to Iowa to get care. The movie gives a glimpse in to what it was like to live a brutal existence: …

The Beguiled
|
BrianSez
– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
Good
The first thing that came to my mind when watching Beguiled is that being around all that young, southern, estrogen laden drama is bound to be more dangerous to a Yankee soldier than most battlefields. I was not wrong. Unfortunately and despite the fact that the story was quite compelling, the m…

OK
So what happened to the West Point graduating class as the time that the civil war broke out? This little examined facet of the war is the main theme of this movie. As you’d expect, the class splits along Northern and Southern boundaries. West Point suffered greatly as cadets and instructors le…

Barely OK
Despite roles by Chris Kristofferson, Luke Hemsworth, and Bruce Dern- this movie was plagued by bad acting, bad writing, and a non existent story line.

Great
I loved the human-interest slant on this tale of the Civil War. Jude Law’s undying love for Kidman draws him back to her despite the risk of being a deserter towards the end of the war. The story is engaging, and the cast is top notch. Zellweger is not quite believable as a hardened southern gal…

– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
OK
Taylor Kitsch is John Carter, a civil war era yankee and indian fighter transplanted to Mars only to find himself in another fight. A fight for a hot woman and against bad guys bent on destroying the planet. This was a hodge-podge of a movie that tries to borrow from every Sci Fi film you’ve e…
