Coming Soon: New book and movie reviews...and more

Rick Atkinson's latest, The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777: Volume One of the Revolution Trilogy © 2019 Henry Holt



We at A Certain Point of View are always trying to offer you, Gentle Reader, a wide variety of content for your entertainment as well as, we hope, your enlightenment. As of late, we've been posting a potpourri of different types of posts, ranging from light, entertainment-focused questions that we see every day on Quora all the way to serious commentary about life in Donald Trump's America. We strive hard to keep things fun and lively, although in today's highly polarized political and social environment (which some pundits have come to call a State of Constant Outrage) this is often easier said than done.

 As you know, this blog's core mission is to offer reviews of books, movies, TV shows, music, and collectibles, and although each month you do get to see some of those, lately we've been delving into questions and answers about Star Wars and other topics. That's because your Humble Correspondent is trying to juggle several balls in the air at the same time: writing a new script for Popcorn Sky Productions; creating at least one blog post per day; dealing with the challenges of a new life and the process of grieving for my mom, who will have been gone for four years this July.  The Q&As About...and Talking About...posts are relatively easy to write, and way easier to compose than the average A Certain Point of View essay or review.

 Nevertheless, even as this writer grapples with the longer, funnier script he is committed to completing, you can expect to see a couple of reviews, including:



  • A look at director Terence Young's 1963 spy thriller From Russia with Love, the second film in the James Bond series
  • A review of Rick Atkinson's The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777, the first volume in Atkinson's The Revolution Trilogy
  • A review of Best of Bond...James Bond: 50 Years, 50 Tracks

How many movies have been made based on Stephen King's 'It'?

How many movies have been made based on Stephen King's It ? It  has been adapted twice for filmed audio-visual media. The first filmed version of  It was a TV limited series; the second was a duology of theatrically-released movies.  The first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 doorstop of a novel was a 1990 adaptation made as a two-part ABC miniseries for television. Among the cast members: Tim Reid, Harry Anderson, Annette O’Toole, John Ritter, and Richard Thomas. The miniseries also featured Tim Curry as the evil Pennywise the Clown. Adapted for television by director Tommy Lee Wallace and Lawrence D. Cohen (who also adapted King’s  Carrie  for director Brian De Palma in 1976),  It  was okay but a watered-down take on the scary novel about a group of friends who must face off against a monstrous entity known as “It” twice. Once as kids in 1960, then again as adults in 1990. (Like  11,22.63,  the TV version of It avoids the year 1958, which is where parts of  11/22/63

Talking About Tom Clancy's 'Ryanverse': Was Jack Ryan a Republican or a Democrat?

Harrison Ford starred in two Jack Ryan films. © 1992 Paramount Pictures On Quora, member Maya Lachman asks: Was Jack Ryan a Republican or a Democrat? My reply: If you’re talking about Tom Clancy’s iconic character John Patrick Ryan, Sr., he is depicted in the novels as being Republican, especially in most of the books that follow 1991’s  The Sum of All Fears. In the early Jack Ryan novels ( The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, The Cardinal of the Cardinal, Clear and Present Danger,  and  The Sum of All Fears ), Ryan works his way up the ranks in the Central Intelligence Agency, starting out as a recently-recruited analyst and rising all the way to Deputy Director (Intelligence), or DDI. During his time at CIA, Ryan doesn’t have much to say about politics (except in the context of U.S.-Soviet relations, in which case he is obviously a Cold War Republican), but his pre-CIA resume includes a stint as a Marine Corps lieutenant, a successful stockbroker who, despite

Movie Review: 'PT-109'

In June of 1963, five months before the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Warner Bros. released director Leslie Martinson’s  PT-109 , an adaptation of Robert J. Donovan’s non-fiction book  PT-109: John F. Kennedy in World War II.   Starring Cliff Robertson ( Charly, Spider-Man ) as Navy Lieutenant (junior grade) John F. Kennedy and co-starring Ty Hardin, James Gregory, Robert Culp, Robert Blake, Norman Fell and even an uncredited George Takei (Hikaru Sulu of  Star Trek: The Original Series ), the film is a fairly accurate depiction of JFK’s naval service in the South Pacific as the commander of a motor torpedo boat given the Navy pennant number PT-109 (the PT standing for the Navy ship designator “Patrol Torpedo”).  Although Hollywood had made movies in which former Presidents (either living or dead) were depicted, producer Bryan Foy, under the direct guidance of Warner Bros.' head of production Jack Warner (who, in turn, was influenced by Joseph P. Kennedy, a f
