The Late Shift (1996)
One woman's success in a man's world
While I found the movie interesting, I was disappointed that Kathy Bates, who does bare a physical resemblance to Kushnick, did not think it necessary to lose the 60 pound weight difference that would have made her performance more accurate and that she shuffled rather than walked with the clip Kushnick had in her step. I was hoping for more insight into the character's motivations and was disappointed to find it to be pretty much of a "hit" job on all of them. Overall the film was enlightening as to the inside workings of network television, but I was left wondering how accurate the representation of each person was. It seemed as if they were reaching for the tabloid aspect of the story.
Forgotten Battle of Fort Pillow and the Birth of the Ku Klux Klan (2000)
Story of the massacre at Ft. Pillow during the Civil War
Found this to be a very informative documentary for Civil War buffs. Gives a great deal of information about Ft. Pillow, a little known Civil War battle, and the massacre that took there. Details General Bedford Forrest's life and explains that the man called the Wizard of the Saddle during the war became the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Also talks of the 40 slaves he took into battle with him - thirty-nine of whom stayed with him through and after the Civil War. I found it interesting to learn that the KKK was disbanded in 1872 by Forrest. There is a little too much info stuffed into the running time for me. Had to stop and take a break half way through, but the narrator does a very good job pulling it together.
