"Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee-dee. Fun for men you mean."

Advantages: A pure classic
Disadvantages: Very long.

GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) DVD (2006) "There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind." The opening words of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind" I ...

Gone with the wind

Advantages: lavish dated drama with endless detail, finery and spectcle
Disadvantages: too long, over done , too many tricks for the viewer

This epic is big in every sense of the word. It is a blockbuster to end all blockbusters. The light and shade of the intense colour sometimes overwhelms the speeches in each scene. Can you spot where Clark Gable isnt dancing? Can you spot the civil war scene where humans werent used? The film has various effects and tricks to keep you going through the extended viewing time. It is a marathon of eye candy and with every part polished to shine ...

Advantages: Brilliant story, star filled cast, a history lesson as well as a film
Disadvantages: Long for some peoples tastes at 3 hours 45

...a review about something like Gone with the Wind? Perhaps by first pointing out this is one of the greats, a classic which you should at least watch at some point, whether you become a fan or hate it, just so you have an opinion on the subject. Faced with a long sunday with nothing else to do, I deided to rewatch one of my all time favorites. So I popped it on at just before 10am and finished watching about 30 mins ago. The Bare Facts In a nutshell ...
...on the plantation. Gone with the Wind tells two stories really, one of Scarletts life and the other of the huge changes in of America during the Civil War period, the loss of the southern civilisation and the moderisation of America subsequently, including the freeing of all slaves and the vote being given to all men. These two stories are so closely interwoven that you cant help but learn a lot about history from watching what has been descibed ...

Eastwood classic

Advantages: Clint Eastwood
Disadvantages: none

...to be his last film, Gran Torino, which he directed and starred in. Gran Torino is about a Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), a grumpy Korean War veteran, who has recently been widowed, who lives in a Michigan neighborhood, where he is one of the last Caucasian Americans. Walt has many prejudices and has a difficult relationship with his children. One of the few things in life that brings him any pleasure is his Gran Torino car, which he keeps in mint ...
...Vang) tries to steal Walt’s Gran Torino as part of an initiation to join his cousin Hmong gang. Walt ends up getting closer to Thao’s family and takes measures to protect them from the gangs in the neighbourhood. When Thao’s sister, Sue (Ahney Her) is viciously attacked, Walt takes drastic measures to ensure Thao’s family. This is a wonderful film that has a brilliant and thought provoking story. Clint Eastwood is essentially playing an older version ...

Plotline has gone baby gone

Advantages: You cant switch this film off
Disadvantages: its all a bit silly and what makes Patrick so qualified?

Stars – Casey Affleck Plot – Amanda, a four year old girl from Boston goes missing and her aunt hires private investigate Patrick (Affleck) to help find her. Her own mother however seems to be less concerned. Will he find her in time and why did she go missing in the first place? Whats it like? – Scarily similar to the Madeleine McCann case, this film might cut too close to the bone for some people. Unlike the McCann’s though, the family involved ...
...thought about how different groups in society are treated. Overall this is a good film, and I think it tackles a very sensitive issue quite delicately. It is however, based on a bit of a poor pretence, because quite frankly I did wonder throughout what exactly made Affleck’s character an expert in missing people (being so obviously young and with no apparent background story)? It seemed to me the filmmakers just didn’t want the film to be another ...
