History Week! Men Go To Battle


Men Go To Battle is a 2015 civil war era history film which turned out to be pretty good.

Men Go To Battle follows two brothers Francis (David Maloney) and Henry (Timothy Morton) as they struggle on their farm during the beginning stages of the civil war. Though they have their hardships, they end up taking different paths.
Alright, so Men Go To Battle is a good film, but slow. The pacing could have been better. I think they could have improved this by developing the characters a little more.
The movie shows the point of view of the common person during this era. It does have some interesting stuff when it comes to it's presentation.
The acting is well done in this movie, which for a low budget film is very impressive. Granted I could not find the budget for the film, but I did find how much the film grossed. It made $17,950 as of September 13th 2016, and I found this on IMDb. I honestly think that the film deserved to make more than that, especially for the quality of the film presented.
If you enjoy films about the civil war or any sort of period piece during that era, then you probably will like Men Go To Battle. I found myself having a good time with the film, and you might like it as well.



final score: 3.7/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
