Gods and Generals
Fuck me this one just went on and on! I persevered though and dont wholly regret doing so. The rise and fall of legendary confederate Stonewall Jackson is a struggle at times, overly sentimental and waaaaaaaay too long but it is compensated by some solid acting and decent battle scenes. If half the things in this film is accurate, its difficult to see Stonewall as a tactical genius when its clear every bugger else was a complete clueless wanker when it comes to battle tactics. Surely lining your men behind a wall is basic common sense as opposed to standing up in an open field firing one shot a minute. In the Kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is King. Worth a watch but be sure to stock on supplies before settling in.

Calvaire (2004). Definitely not a movie for everyone, but a must see for those looking for horribly disturbing movies that are done well. Set in the countryside of Belgium, this shocker rates up there with Irreversible, if not beyond. The acting was solid, the story simple, and the direction great. The camerawork was awesome, with dizzying shots and dismally washed out color film. The harsh and foreboding landscapes only added to the dark nature of Calvaire. The ending is one that initially disappoints but then works its way back into your psyche like a persistent parasite of the mind. Loved it.
A Simple Plan (1998). Wonderful if somewhat dismal, this flick by Sam Raimi takes a rather simple idea and twists it up into ugly knots. Intrigue, greed and distrust disfigure typical stereotypes and bring out the evil in the four main characters. Billy Bob and Bill Paxton were superb, and the rest of the acting was without a flaw. The cinematography was literally chilling, and the direction was awesome. This dark tale literally uses film to separate the veritable dark nature out of man's divine self portrait. It seems that yesterday was a day of frozen landscape flicks. Ashe. derek
