Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hubby pleaser
Great flick. Easy for you to watch with the hubby while he appreciates the gift!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Soap Opera of Pre-civil War
North and South is about two friends, who attend and graduate from West Point. One friend is from the South and the other from the North. The Abolitionist were preaching about the evils of slavery, the brutality of the slave owners, and the inevitiblity of machines.

North and South is filled with action, carnage, tragedy, sorrow, joy, marriages, obligations, jealousy, true love, and passion. This is probably the best work for Patrick Swayze. Swayze acting and character were likely and complex, filled with emotion, anger, confidence, love, romance, and empathy.

"Gone with the wind" is a boring epic, in comparison too, "North and South". North and South ranks among great Civil War movies, such as, "Gods and Generals" and "Gettysburg".

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Incredible, as good if not better than Gone With The Wind!
Incredible, as good if not better than Gone With The Wind! Stunning set design, incredible costumes and Oscar worthy acting, this stunning portrayal of the Civil War and the lives of the Hazzards and the Maines will take you in and capture your attention. You won't want to leave until you have seen the entire trilogy! This hidden gem is a must see for most of the family (it's a little racy and bloody for the under 16 crowd in my opinion). Men and women will love this movie, make a weekend of it!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Well made but not exactly Revisionist History
Plenty of talent on hand. Swazee comes off
best in here as Southern fighting for his
land (and later country), but badly stereo-
typed rest of cast (except for Leslie Ann
Down), especially Alley, Carradine and many
blacks (how about the Buckwheat meets Fred
Williamson act by Forrest Whitaker?!) hurts
overall production. Beautifully filmed and
edited like the sorry Broke Back Mountain,
but wastes too much time inputting the Pro-
ducer (especially Dave Wolper, I'm told...)
ideas. Yes, there are several redeeming
(white and black Southerns in here; especi-
ally Washington and Sally Reemus) but there
never was any guy named Bent who tried to
"off" CSA Pres. Jeff Davis, who is played
very well by Lloyd Bridges(, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice soap opera
I liked the mini series. Acting is good. Scenery lovely. Costuming is superb. Gives the viewer a real feel for the place and time.

Unfortunately there are some things I don't care for. Both sides, if there's a character in one family there is another in the other just like that person. Some of the relationships are somewhat stale. The main villein is really two dimensional.

Both the southern main character and his northern counterpart fall in love with women socially unacceptable to their society. The northerner falls in love with and marries an irish catholic lass. The southerner falls in love with a girl who turns out to be the daughter of a harlot and an Octeroon (One african great grandparent). I would have prefurred something more open since history reveals there were quite ... Read More
