Let's all go see it a bunch of times!

(Anytime any Freepers see a good movie put it up here - I don't go to any movies anymore unless Mel Gibson is in them. So please let us know about good movies - there are so few.)

This movie was certainly the LONGEST movie I have ever watched, four hours counting the intermission.

Though I felt the first 45 minutes were a bit slow and lacked direction, the movie picked up from there and had a very non-Hollywood element (realistic) to the rest of the portrayals of those men who led the South.

I thought one of the best performances was by the woman who played Jackson's wife. How refreshing it was to see men and women who actually had respect and love for each other.

Though the ultimate outcome of the war probably did not hinge on the death of Jackson, it certainly was shortened by the loss of this General.

We plan to see "Gods and Generals" on Sunday. I agree there have been very few good films. Some relatively recent ones we have liked:
"Lord of the Rings" (Part I & II)
"Spiderman"
"Brigham City" (has a truly surprise ending)
"Mexico City"
"Blackhawk Down" -- a must see

I liked a lot the first half of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Then it went a little flat (however, last night the TV show based on it was boring). "Sweet Home Alabama" also was pretty good.

I have heard that "Barbershop" is good but haven't had a chance to see it.
