THE BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Nov 5, 2021
French filmmaker Abel Gance will always be known for his stupendous silent-era epic NAPOLEON. But he also made another movie featuring the famed conqueror--a 1959 production called THE BATTLE OF AUSTERLITZ (aka just AUSTERLITZ). I recently purchased a bargain-priced DVD of this film from read more

The Battle of Jangsari (2019, Kwak Kyung-taek and Kim Tae-hoon)
The Stop Button Posted by on Jan 27, 2020
I’m curious enough about The Battle of Jangsari I think I’m going to read War in Korea: The Report of a Woman Combat Correspondent by Marguerite Higgins, which might have some information about the actual battle of Jangsa-ri because there’s nothing on the Google not about the movie.

The Battle of Algiers (1966)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Sep 5, 2015
Being rather oblivious to the relations between France and Algeria as well as the battle of Algiers, this documentary-style film proved to be an enlightening and thoroughly engaging historical exercise. I certainly can not corroborate all the facts, but the reality is, The Battle of Algiers is one o read more

The Battle of Algiers (1966, Gillo Pontecorvo)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 6, 2015
The Battle of Algiers is brilliantly constructed. Director Pontecorvo deceptively frames the film–he also gives most sequences a date and time, which shows the viewer how greater events are progressing, but Pontecovro also gives multiple times in a day, which puts the viewer on edge even thou read more
THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 25, 2014
Peter Jackson's Middle-Earth saga finally lumbers to a halt in THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES.
More 21st Century generic film making than J.R.R. Tolkien, this movie isn't any worse--or better--than the first two HOBBIT entries. If you loved the other HOBBIT films, you'll love this one; i read more

Pretty Clever Films Posted by Toyiah Murry on Jun 27, 2013

As an undergrad, learning about director Sergei Eisenstein and his association with the Kuleshov School of film theory was imperative, elementary knowledge. The Kuleshov effect, or a montage, is a form of editing believed by proponents read more

The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966)
Frankly, my dear readers I don’t give a damn about politics and I don’t naturally go to the films that matter about this subject. It was more a mandatory exercise than an actual act of lovemaking towards this renowned film. Even if it was cr read more
