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 ...

Talking About 'Band of Brothers' (HBO Miniseries): Why were there no black soldiers in the Band of Brothers TV miniseries?

-

Band of Brothers,  sadly, reflects one of the sad realities of American society in the 1940s - racial segregation in the armed forces. Although there  were  a few all-Negro (as blacks were referred to in those days) units in the U.S. Army and the Army Air Forces that served with distinction in the European Theater of Operations, most black servicemen were assigned to non-combat units in Supply of Services and other support forces. Most of these soldiers were truck drivers, anti-aircraft gunners, barrage balloon handlers, engineers, stevedores, clerks, cooks, corpsmen, and so on. Only late in the war (fall of 1944 and winter/spring 1945) did large numbers of black infantrymen see combat against German forces, and even then they served in all-black units commanded by white officers. © 2001 Home Box Office, Dreamworks SKG, and Play-Tone Pictures The 101st Airborne Division was an all-American unit made up of individuals from many different groups - Easy Company’...

'The Boy in Striped Pajamas' movie review

-
Image
(C) 2008 Miramax, Heyday Films, BBC Films Writer-director Mark Herman’s 2008 film “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is a faithful but (necessarily) condensed adaptation of John Boyne’s 2007 novel about a German boy, Bruno (Asa Butterfield), who befriends Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), an eight-year-old inmate in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.  Like Boyne’s novel, the film is not a definitive history of the Holocaust. It’s not as graphic or historically accurate as Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic “Schindler’s List,” nor was it intended to be. (Indeed, Herman says in the behind-the-scenes featurette “Friendship Beyond the Fence” that he doesn’t consider “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” to be a “Holocaust film.”) Set in the early 1940s at the height of Nazi Germany’s power, the film follows Bruno on a journey that takes him and his family from Berlin to German-occupied Poland. His father Ralf (David Thewlis) is a newly-promoted SS officer with a new posting: commandant...
