Review Billy Grifter 16 May 2013 - 07:02
Revolution finally gets round to some character development, but it's rather late in the day for that, according to Billy...
This review contains spoilers.
1.17 The Longest Day
After sixteen episodes, what do we really know about these characters more than we knew when they first appeared? Well, we know that Nora can only have passionate sex when she's used heated curlers. And, that Tom loves his wife dearly, especially when he's far-far away from her.
From the outset in this story the writers set out with the objective of layering the very thinly drawn characters, starting with Nora and Tom, and later on progressing to Rachel and Bass. While I'd like to point out that this is far too late in the day to now engage the audience, one can't help but note their attempts to at least provide something more.
I'd even say »

Revolution, Season 1, Episode 17: “The Longest Day”
Written by Anne Cofell Saunders
Directed by Steve Boyum
Airs Mondays at 10 pm (Et) on NBC
“The Longest Day” is about seeing a different side to some of our main characters. Rachel, Miles, and Tom all have moments when we saw a part of them we hadn’t really seen before.
There doesn’t seem much point in going back to see how much of an ass Miles was when he was with the Militia. He was a bad dude back then, and we’re well aware of that. As far as Rachel goes, her steely determination in allowing a boy to die without trying to help him in her single-minded quest for revenge opens up a new side of her. She can be ruthless when she is determined, and where Aaron wouldn’t leave her, she would him. It’s an interesting development, »

The latest episode of Revolution had many of our heroes wondering whether they’re better off on their own. Charlie sympathizes with Jason’s wish to be rid of his dad, as she recalls feeling better off without her mom. Nora decides sleeping with Miles was a mistake — odds are one of them will die soon, and it’s better to not grow close again before that happens. Rachel, leg broken until her mysterious capsule fixes it, continues to beg Aaron to leave her, to trek to the Tower alone. Monroe’s distrust in his friends and allies reaches new tragic heights. »

On Revolution this week, Rachel sought revenge, Miles looked for Charlie and Tom drew the line. All of their goals and actions were driven by one thing: love.
Even as crazy, irrational and odd as love can be.
Monroe’s drone strike in "The Longest Day" allowed alliances and tensions to be reexamined. Tom, finally, was willing to draw his own line when it came to Jason. It’s sad that he needed to see his son battered and bruised from the drone strike to finally find some sympathy, but at least he knows how terrible of a man he is.
Tom is aware that all of his sins will come back to him one day, but the actions he’s taken have left him mostly alone and isolated from his family; and he refuses to let the same happen to his child. The sad part of it all is »

Over four days the 2013 Bradford Widescreen Festival located at The Pictureville Cinema played host to a mixture of classics in 70mm, CinemaScope and Cinerama formats. There was a special tribute to the 60th anniversary of CinemaScope, the famous widescreen process developed for Twentieth Century Fox back in the 1950s.
Friday kicked off with a rare 70mm screening of The Longest Day preceded by an informative introduction by Sir Christopher Frayling. This was followed by the much- loved The Great Escape presented for the first time in 4K Digital and the picture and sound were simply stunning. Cinema Retro contributor Dr. Sheldon Hall provided an illuminating introduction to this war classic. Following the delegates’ reception in the Kodak Gallery, The Sound of Music was presented in 70mm.

After years of working as a screenwriter, racking up credits such as “The Longest Day,” “X-Men: First Class,” and most notably “Up in the Air,” it looks like Sheldon Turner might finally get an opportunity to direct one of his projects. Relativity Media recently acquired the gritty action thriller “Borderland.” Turner will write the script, and has his eye towards directing the project as well. Described as a modern day "Magnificent Seven"-esque western, “Borderland” centers on a newly elected mayor in a town overrun by cartel violence. The mayor decides to hire a band of former and current Special Forces operatives, training them to fight back. Soon the town turns into a battleground with the operatives finding themselves in over their heads. The film is an attempt to give an authentic look at post-war life for elite soldiers. Turner has got a number of different projects on his plate aside from “Borderland. »
