Review: The New World. Could it be the New World for Captain John Smith as he came to America for the first time to establish a new colony for England? Or could a New World also be for the beautiful Indian Princess when she travels to England for ...

Review: The New World: A Terence Malick Masterpiece. By James P. Zaworski I think that the meeting of two cultures is a fascinating phenomenon. In the history of humankind, this meeting has happened time and again. One such meeting occurred between ...

Pros: Gorgeous, poetic, wonderfully-acted, impeccably directed- in short, a masterpiece.

Cons: Um...

The Bottom Line: I always wondered what it would feel like to see one of the greatest films ever made right when it first came out. Now I know.

Review: Nowadays, period movies that look convincing aren’t hard to find. Given the vast amount of resources at the disposal of filmmakers nowadays, any period piece worth its salt will be chock full of authentic-seeming costumes, props, and sets, and what can’ ...

Cons: not for all audiences, unnecessarily long

The Bottom Line: An excellent but extremely different film, The New World appeals to mainly the film buffs who will either love or hate it for what it is.

Pros: See Review.

The Bottom Line: Unconventionally told, and slow and plodding at times, The New World is nonetheless a movie well worth watching if only to see the performance of Q’orianka Kitcher.

Pros: Cinematic beauty and spiritual essence grace the screen.

Cons: Not as poignant as it should have been (her last days).

The Bottom Line: The movie isn't a whiz bang, but still interesting from a historical aspect. Great scenery, mood, and vision. A bit slow the last hour.

Review: The New World is inviting for anyone I would think, living in America, because it's an important and significant time in our history...well it's before we were a country, but that’s just it. This story is about those who came before us. This is the ...

Pros: Accurate, nice scenery, tells a nice story

Cons: Unclear what is happening and boring at times; needs more dialog

Review: I saw this movie because my friend was in it (he told me he was one of the indians). When I saw the previews for it on tv, it looked pretty good so I thought I would check it out. The movie is basically about Pocohontas. In case you didnt know, she ...

Pros: stunning visuals, great score, Plummer and Bale...

Cons: everything else!!!

The Bottom Line: Colin Farell stinks again...man, was I dissappointed in this film. Stick with Disney's Pocahontas, seriously!

Review: Films about history have always interested me, but as of late I have felt quite dissappointed in many of them. I cannot say what exactly it is however, but I admit that most historic movies are at least fair overall...that was until I saw Alexander with ...
