i remember watching this over 15 years ago. i got lucky that my library had this in stock. fantastic movie. probably one of the best films depicting the warsaw ghetto uprising .
the true story of the warsaw ghetto uprising. most people think that jewish people in warsaw in that time were like cattle and afraid. most people think that jews have no leaders, at least at that time. this film depicts differently. as a side bar, the acting is superb. jon voight, although playing a nazi, lent his tremendous prestige to to this film. he is a great guy and a great actor as well .

i love just how badass godzilla is in this film. nothing even comes close to stopping him, and he deals out more punishment than i' ve ever seen in a single film. not even king ghidorah, arguably goji' s most powerful foe, can overcome him .
fuyuki shinada, who designed the monster suits for this film, was disappointed that varan, his all - time favorite monster, wasn' t going to be in the film, so he compromised by putting some of varan' s facial features on king ghidorah' s three heads .
when i first watched this film, i absolutely despised it. i now like it, but i still prefer many other films to it .
my opinion: this film is a mix between greatness and dissapointment. it had a great plot, cool designs, and while it' s not the best, it' s still quite a good film. however, it would have been good if they used varan and anguirus .

i saw this film in australia with a relative who survived the ghetto uprising. he said that, in spite of some inconsistencies, it was as accurate as film could portray it. while it is true that there was more than one resistance faction, and sometimes they were at odds, the essence of the event is portrayed well. the polish resistance' s attitude was mixed, but my relative, who was a courier in and out of the ghetto said that many individual poles risked their lives to hide him. the woman who escaped with the baby at the end of the film is also related to me. her husband, who was killed in the first days of the uprising, was a major planner and organizer. of course, it affected me greatly since my mother originally came from warsaw and i lost many relatives .

tim burton' s lackluster planet of the apes is a definite insult to the original classic. i' m usually a fan of burton' s work, and he' s made quite a few classic films. however with this remake, he crafts a film that is boring, uninspired and he tries to camouflage the film lame plot by fancy special effects. tim burton has made a dud with this remake. the only good things going for the film are good actors (which unfortunately can' t save the movie), and special effects. there is nothing else that is exciting about this film. i' ll stick with the original planet of the apes. what' s really missing in this film is a sense of wonder, mystery and intrigue; the elements that made the original so special and ultimately a classic. of all the tim burton films that i' ve seen, this is his worst yet. oh well, every director has a bad film or two up his sleeve, for burton this is the one. this film could have been a wonderful piece of cinema, instead it was a lazy film that didn' t try to give the viewer any sense of wonder or mystery. looking back since its initial release, planet of the apes was a pretty cool flick when it first came out, but it' s one of those films that doesn' t demand repeated viewers, and when you view it, you realize how pointless it is. you realize that it' s a film with great special effects, and little substance in terms of story. planet of the apes fails in being an engaging film, and you' re left in disbelief. luckily rise of the planet of the apes got it right, because this one didn' t .
this terrible film does the warsaw fighters no justice by vastly exaggerating the casualties incurred by the nazis. historians believe that the nazis downplayed their dead, but this film depicts endless rambo - levels of carnage on the german side and hardly any jewish casualties. in reality around 1, 000 jews died for every german soldier. the later warsaw uprising where the significantly better - armed polish home army nearly achieved parity in combatant deaths, still suffered a few hundred thousand civilian deaths. the nazis would not have so easily overrun europe if they could be so easily slaughtered in the hundreds by small groups of insurgents with pistols, rifles, and molotov cocktails .
the miniseries' s soundtrack was the last film score composed by maurice jarre, and prominently features the work of max bruch, including his violin concerto no. 1 during the opening sequence .
gmk is a film that has split fans for several reasons. for those who like it, they enjoy its music, story, and characters, and how it made godzilla terrifying once again. those who dislike the film point to the role - reversal of king ghidorah and godzilla, godzilla being pure evil, and the brutal deaths of all of the three monsters godzilla faces .
these images are so strong that they defeat the film' s moral complexity. the more realistic'' the grey zone'' pretends to be, the more its unrealistic elements stand out .
disaster films: disasters have been the subject of film - goers' fascination since the time of silent film epics, and this interest continues to exist up to the present time. catastrophes can take so many different forms - but they are mostly man - made or natural. they can be either impending or ongoing, or set in a distant future, or they can exist locally or globally .

the uprising now has to start. the jewish fighters start killing german soldiers. they have some success. mordechai tells them :

very good tv - movie of the warsaw ghetto uprising. at first, it' s a little weird to see david schwimmer and alexandra holden, who played a couple for a while on friends, in scenes together here. but everyone is very good, especially stephen moyer. very good sets and production values .
at the beginning of the film, admiral tachibana mentions that a large reptilian monster recently attacked new york. one of the soldiers asks another next to him if the new york attack was godzilla, with the other replying that the americans seem to think so, but their guys
have their doubts .
this is a joking reference to the 1998 american film and its version of godzilla, which were incredibly controversial and widely criticized among fans .

this movie is especially notable for the changes made to the monsters. apparently, the changes to these monsters were made in order to make godzilla seem stronger, as kaneko wanted his version of godzilla to be the most powerful monster in the film .
i don' t care what people think about this film, it' s still terrible. it ruined the aspects of mothra, godzilla, and ghidorah for me. and people complain about ghidorah' s heisei origin! such a stupid movie .
ali
is a long, flat, curiously muted film about the heavyweight champion. it lacks much of the flash, fire and humor of muhammad ali and is shot more in the tone of a eulogy than a celebration. there is little joy here. the film is long and plays longer, because it permits itself sequences that are drawn out to inexplicable lengths while hurrying past others that should have been dramatic high points. it feels like an unfinished rough cut that might play better after editing .
actresses ai and aki maeda cameo as the two twin girls who witness mothra fly over yokohama. ai maeda portrayed ayana hirasaka in kaneko' s earlier film gamera 3: revenge of iris, in which her younger sister aki portrayed the young ayana in flashback scenes .

the incarnation of godzilla in this film has no pupils. kaneko intended his version of godzilla to be evil, and felt that godzilla' s eyes shape the audience' s perception of the monster. while many fans enjoy this interpretation of godzilla, many other fans felt that mr. kaneko' s approach to godzilla diverged too far from ishiro honda' s approach to godzilla, as an allegory to the atomic bomb. other fans were also outraged of kaneko' s unsympathetic outlook on the creature. honda' s original godzilla was made out to seem as much of a victim of the consequences of the h - bomb as his own victims he killed within his rampage. kaneko' s godzilla by contrast is a nigh - invincible impersonal evil and does not draw any sympathy from the audience. the film also places a more heavily increased focus on the people murdered during godzilla' s rampages than any other film before it, further vilifying godzilla .
the film was released on dvd in the united states by tristar pictures in 2004. the subtitles included in this release use the english dub' s script, which often deviates from the japanese dialogue. an extreme example is the scene where king ghidorah is struck by a d - 03 missile intended for godzilla. in the original japanese dialogue, lieutenant miyashita shouts an expletive equivalent to “shit! ” or
fuck! ” while he strangely shouts
got it! ” in the english dub and “excellent! ” in the english dvd subtitles. the english subtitles in sony' s 2014 blu - ray release of the film fixed this particular error .
in turning the play into a film, the fateful decision was made to pursue a grim, uncompromising realism that may be unprecedented for a nondocumentary film about the holocaust. where movies like'' sophie' s choice'' and'' schindler' s list'' limited their horrors to two or three searing images,'' the grey zone'' is relentlessly graphic. panoramic shots of the camp and its barracks strive for a grimy photo - realism that is underscored by an ominously grinding soundtrack that evokes the rumble of a death mill. the movie wants to give you the feeling of being trapped in the middle of hell, engulfed by horrors from which there can be no turning away .
the film considers 10 years in the life of ali, from 1964, when he won the world heavyweight championship as cassius clay, to 1974, when as muhammad ali, he fought in the rumble. this is the key decade in ali' s life, cut in half by three years when he was barred from boxing because of his refusal to be drafted .
using radically refashioned archival footage of the warsaw ghetto, this interview with jon avnet the director of uprising talks about marek edelman who is an evocative memoir of his role in the rebellion that held back the nazis for almost a month in 1943. the film begins with the growing list of prohibitions and regulations leading to the virtual imprisonment of about half - a - million polish jews in an old slum district of warsaw with inadequate space and plumbing. an overhead tracking shot shows the number of people assembled in the first months of the relocation. the daily struggle against hunger and disease, especially among the dispossessed arrivals seen in their pitful rags, is aggravated by the german demands for
deportations to the east
that many begin to suspect are camouflaged mass murders. by the close of 1942, people living in the ghetto realize they are doomed, and the rudiments of resistance are planned by a handful of the young, including edelman. following some ...
sure, the blatant changing of their origins to shove mothra and ghidorah into the film isn' t the best (it would have been much better if they used varan and anguirus like they originally wanted to), but it is still a well - written movie. the soundtrack is great, the acting is good and the special effects were also pretty good for a japanese movie in 2002 .
king ghidorah is typically portrayed as the villain in previous godzilla movies; this movie has him as a hero. in fact, king ghidorah is actually portrayed a few meters shorter than godzilla; previous incarnations of the character were much, much larger, and towered over godzilla. this is a result of him replacing varan from the film' s original draft. this role reversal is controversial among fans .
the double feature of godzilla, mothra and king ghidorah: giant monsters all - out attack and hamtaro: ham ham big land adventure made $ 1. 9 million in japan during their opening weekend. the pairing went on to earn roughly $ 20 million, with an attendance of 2, 400, 000, making gmk the eighteenth most - attended godzilla film and the most successful of the millennium series .
shusuke kaneko' s original script for this film, titled godzilla x varan, baragon and anguirus: giant monsters all - out attack, while still similar to the finished product, featured several notable differences. this draft featured anguirus and varan as two of the guardian monsters along with baragon, as well as different jsdf weaponry like maser cannons and the gotengo. when kaneko presented the script to toho, they asked him to work the monsters mothra and king ghidorah into the film for marquee value, likely due to the poor box office performance of godzilla vs. megaguirus. kaneko accepted on the condition that he could still include baragon in the finished product, and replaced anguirus with mothra and varan with king ghidorah. this is partially the reason for the vastly different portrayals of mothra and king ghidorah compared to their previous incarnations .
i have watched this movie twice, and i think it is very powerful. it may not be the best made film i have seen, but still it is one i am bound to remember. the director of
uprising
has made a film that touches your heart. after a while you really feel you have learnt to know some of the main characters, and it is easy to feel their pain. as a viewer you end up with an enormous respect for these young people, and it was very painful to watch how some of their hopes and dreams didn' t come true: they hoped that the allied would help them, and they sent a courier to london, but no help came. they hoped that someone was going to bomb the railway lines to the death camps and in that way halt the mass murder of thousands of innocent human beings. but it didn' t happen. (i remember reading somewhere that stalin was against this idea, because he wanted the railway lines intact when he was going to invade poland .) the ghetto fighters received some weapons from the polish underground, but far too little to continue to fight. still, these young men and women managed to hold out against the nazis for a longer time that the entire polish army. and for adolf hitler; a jew free warsaw was going to be himmler' s birthday present to
the fürer
, but instead around 500 young men and women gave him a very different kind of birthday treat .

there are similarities to
cool hand luke
and its battle of wills. the film does such a good job of creating its oppressive, claustrophobic prison atmosphere, and peopling it with sharply defined characters, that it grips us, and we shake away logical questions; lurie shows again, as he did in
the contender ,
that he can tell a dramatic, involving story, even if later we' re wondering about loopholes and lapses .
i was also surprised at the equipment unveiled in the later stages of the film. one of the delights of prison movies like
stalag 17
and
the great escape
is the way the prisoners manufacture props or dig tunnels under the eyes of the guards. all of that ingenuity takes place offscreen in
the last castle ,
and when we see what irwin has secretly prepared, we' re surprised that winter could miss such large - scale activities .
the accents were the thing that was the worst... if you' re not going to actors from the country of origin that your film is set in, why even bother with attempting accents, when so many of them are going to be so bad. it was ridiculous. the only person who i didn' t mind at all was donald sutherland and i think that' s because he just spoke in his usual voice and i found that much better .
uprising is a made for tv movie based on the true account of the rebellion in the warsaw ghetto in 1943. a group of young and very determined jewish people managed to do what some of the biggest armies weren’t capable of doing, namely fighting back the nazi’s for a few weeks. it’s not a flawless production, some of the dialogue is a bit “what - the - heck”, including the fact that all the actors talk with a heavy accent, but apart from that i found it very interesting. the actors are mostly good and it focuses on a few historical facts i hadn’t known too much about and that i found very interesting. i can only hope it’s accurate. at least it felt so .
consider, for example, a training sequence set in zaire, after ali travels there for
the rumble in the jungle .
he begins his morning run, which takes him past a panorama of daily life. all very well. but he runs and runs and runs, long after any possible point has been made - - and runs some more. this is the kind of extended scene you see in an early assembly of a film, before the heavy lifting has started in the editing room .
what a way to kill the mood set by the original franchise. tim burton' s remake of the
planet of the apes
is not just a bad movie, but it totally ignores anything that happened in the previous versions, and makes a plot so inconsistent and incoherent that i just did not care what happened to any of the characters in the end. mark wahlberg as the only thing that intrigued me to watch it, and turns out, he is actually one of the worst parts. the only thing commendable about this film is the prosthetics and make - up work that is definitely oscar - worthy, but too bad it' s in one of the worst remakes of all time. this review is more of a rant than a review, but there really is not very much good to say about it. this movie is all kinds of bad and i was bored for the full two hours. if you think you need to watch this film, do it knowing what you are in for. i hate this movie !

although many mistakenly believe he refused to serve because of guidance from the nation of islam, the film makes it clear that he took his stand on principle, and it cost him both his title and his religion; the nation of islam disapproved of his decision, and suspended him. by the time the u. s. supreme court ruled 8 - 0 in his favor, he had lost what should have been his prime years as a young fighter. when he went into the ring against george foreman in zaire, he was 32, the challenger 24 .
there' s also a plot thread left hanging. irwin gets a bitter prison visit from his daughter (robin wright penn), who tells him ,
you weren' t a father at all .
he wants to make peace, but she says it' s too late. fair enough - - but this relationship is then dropped. so what was the purpose of the visit? to sit up a quest for personal closure, in later scenes that have been cut from the film? or simply because the filmmakers felt that they should supply some family angst from the past, because that' s what all prison movies do? because of these lapses in story logic and character development ,
the last castle
falls short of the film it could have been. it relies too much on a conflict between colorful characters, and a thrilling finish. on those levels it works - - i enjoyed watching this movie. it could have been more, could have been a triumph and a classic, instead of simply an effective entertainment. the performances by redford and gandolfini are there ready to be used in the service of something better .
it takes a movie like'' the grey zone,'' a harrowing holocaust drama based on true events, to bring home the limits of screen realism. the film, set almost entirely in the auschwitz death camp in the autumn of 1944 (it was filmed in bulgaria), tells the story of the 12th sonderkommando, the next - to - last of the camp' s 13 special squads of jewish prisoners, who in exchange for helping the nazis exterminate fellow jews in auschwitz were given special privileges along with several more months of life before themselves being dispatched. this particular group participated in a partly successful plot to blow up the crematories .
mothra was also revamped. like king ghidorah, mothra is portrayed as being far smaller than normal. her poison scale and hurricane wind attacks were removed, and were replaced with a shotgun - like burst of projectile stingers fired from her abdomen. this new attack of mothra' s proved to be deadly enough to topple the much larger godzilla. she also could transfer her spiritual energy to another monster if she was destroyed, like her comrade, baragon. in addition, mothra' s fairy servants, the shobijin, do not make an appearance in the film. however as a reference or tribute to the shobijin, a couple of twins is seen while mothra flies over tokyo .
as'' the grey zone,'' which mixes truth with fiction, follows the day - to - day lives of a group of hungarian jewish members of the sonderkommando, their profane, joshing camaraderie has a strain of tough gallows humor. although most of the characters are fictional, one - - miklos nyiszli, a conscience - stricken doctor who assisted josef mengele in his monstrous medical experiments on prisoners and who survived auschwitz - - was real. his book,'' auschwitz: a doctor' s eyewitness account,'' was a source for the film, as was primo levi' s essay'' the drowned and the saved,'' about jews who were forced to become part of the nazi death machine .
t here were many earlier action / adventure disaster films in the silent era through the advent of the talkies. some of the most notable were the hurricane (1937) - with one of the most spectacular tropical storm scenes ever shot in film history. and two 50' s films, the high and the mighty (1954) and zero hour (1957) - were the inspiration for all the airplane disaster films of the 70s. [ hitchcock' s foreign correspondent (1940) also contained a harrowing airplane crash sequence. ] the real horrors of world war ii (the holocaust), and the perceived threat of nuclear annihilation and radioactive mutancy during the resultant cold war led to a further onslaught of disaster - related films soon after in the 1950s .
they should have given him a medal instead of sending him to prison ,
winter tells an underling, as he watches irwin in the prison yard through the plate - glass window of his office. he admires irwin, who was found guilty of disobeying a direct command (for heroic reasons, of course). winter' s infatuation is short - lived; he overhears the general telling the orderly ,
any man who has a collection like this has never set foot on a battlefield .
that does it. winter' s true nature emerges: he is a sadist who hides behind military law to run a reign of terror. the redford character wants only to do his time and go home. but inevitably he finds himself in conflict with winter, tells him he' s
a disgrace to the uniform ,
and finds himself leading a clandestine uprising .
he' s building a structure of loyalty ,
winter frets .
the last castle ,
directed by rod lurie (
the contender
), builds this bitter personal rivalry into a struggle for power that involves psychological strategy and armed conflict .
most disaster films have large - scale special effects (especially in the recent past' s mega - budget spectaculars), huge casts of stars faced with the crisis, a persevering hero or heroine (i. e. , charlton heston, steve mcqueen, etc .) called upon to lead the struggle against the threat, and many plot - lines affecting multiple characters. in many cases, the' evil' or' selfish' individuals are the first to succumb to the conflagration. as in any sub - genre, the move to capitalize on the' disaster film' trend has led to many sub - par disaster films, with weak and unsubtle, formulaic plots, improbable circumstances and bad science, poor character development, and laughable acting from third - rate stars portraying cliched characters .
watched this again, for the first time since it came out, now that i' ve seen the original, and now my fascination with this franchise will have to delve even deeper, to the source material. i' m not sure if burton & co. worked from the novel, but this is a wildly different film than the original, and i liked it much less. the original' s themes, particularly those that had to do with the possession of knowledge and the ethics of science, have been replaced by cheap suggestions of racial profiling... and instead of an insistent doctor, the ape sympathetic to the humans' plight is a generic revolutionary, complete with military surplus - style coat. i have to acknowledge the excellent end scene - i won' t spoil it, but suffice to say it' s hard to measure up to the original' s - and the early line ,
get your hands off me, you damn dirty human ,
which was playful, but this film doesn' t even have the b - movie charm. it' s lazy action that' s too long, complete with a too - epic danny elfman score, and it does a disservice to decent acting by, among others, tim roth and helena bonham carter. finally: why was dr. zaius basically written out? this adaptation came out around the same time the republicans regained power in the u. s. , and i wonder if the replacement of the catholic - esque philosopher king zaius by the power - through - might thade in this version was to direct our eyes in that direction... ? in any case, it' s an adaptation interesting enough to generate discussion, but that doesn' t mean i enjoyed watching it. without question, the original will outlast this remake .
the real problem with smith' s performance is the movie it finds itself in. smith is the right actor for ali, but this is the wrong movie. smith is sharp, fast, funny, like the ali of trash - talking fame, but the movie doesn' t unleash that side of him, or his character. ali was not only the most famous man of his time, but had fun with his fame. i can' t claim any special insights, but i did once spend a day with him, and i saw a man enormously entertained by life, twinkling with bemusement, lowering the tinted glass window of his rolls limousine so that pedestrians could do a double - take when they saw it was the champ. smith could play that man, but
ali
doesn' t know or see him - - it sees ali as more meditative and subdued - - as sad, sometimes, when sadness is the last thing you feel when you risk everything on principle. the film feels like it' s under a cloud .

movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
merits watching if only because it' s a bracing corrective to the deeply entrenched image of europe' s jews plodding, sheep - like, to their deaths in nazi concentration camps .
very good made - for - tv mini series. plenty of stars, thoughout. as a made - for - tv movie, this really does excel. the sheer scale of it is impressive enough, but in addition to that it is well paced, well written and well acted (with the exception of david schwimmer who i just can' t get past seeing him as ross). i, also, learned a lot about the jewish polish resistance during wwii which i knew little about. nice job !
