Stonehenge Apocalypse (2010)
Quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.
Not only was the story and acting awful, the special effects brought the movie to sub-campy levels. Once again Hollywood tried to capitalize on the mystique of Stonehenge and come up lacking. The dwarfs dancing around the 18" high triptychs in "This is Spinal Tap" was more believable than the Styrofoam mock-ups obviously created by a 3rd grade art class. I particularly liked the left-hand drive vehicles supposedly used by the Royal Army in Salisbury. Please take a pass on this waste of time - you'll regret wasting these precious minutes of your life. There are so many glaring errors of omission, ignorance and historical facts that they are too numerous to list here: Let me try: The bomb dropped (although a missile is fired) was not a nuke, but a laser guided bomb; the position of Stonehenge moved several times on the idiotic map continually shown, all physics were suspended when traveling to and fro across the Atlantic--the time involved is unachievable even if the phantom aircraft were magically available. This movie sucks.
C'era una volta il West (1968)
Best Western Ever Made
From the opening scene with Western stalwarts Jack Elam and Woody Strode to the final scene with Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Claudia Cardinale this film is a visual masterpiece that captures Sergio Leone genius in full brutal force. Henry Fonda is the perfect bad guy, Charles Bronson the reluctant hero, Jason Robards the renegade and misunderstood outlaw, and Claudia Cardinale the sexy, but strong heroine. Leone's musical score is so original and so penetrating that it sticks like plaster. He infuses each characters score with their appearance on screen. It shows the west for what it was: a gritty world where power won out, Only three other Westerns compare: The Outlaw Josey Wales; The Good, The Bad and The Ugly; and the Searchers. Put it in the DVD player and enjoy.
