we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of captain caution by kenneth roberts .

" a word of ' captain caution ' , " john a . tures . " the war of 1912 magazine , " issue 14 , october 2010 .

the nickname of ' captain caution ' is given to dan marvin by a frustrated corunna , because he won ' t commit to a relationship with her .

: created by ron smith . captain caution ' s one and only comic strip was published as an a4 public information flier to highlight to children the dangers of playing on railway tracks .

, the legendary caveman adventure featuring mature as a prehistoric warrior in animal skins battling dinosaurs . dan is branded with the " captain caution " nickname by a bitter corunna , but caution aside , mature was definitely cast for his beefy physique and he gets to brawl with the best of them as a two - fisted american patriot .

when a ship ' ' ' ' s captain dies at war , his daughter takes command .

1812 , headed home to maine from the orient , handsome sailor dan ( victor mature ) not quite sure what to do with the captain ' s daughter corunna ( louise platt ) , her father ( robert barrat ) intruding as an unknown ship approaches , early in the low - rent hal roach swashbuckler captain caution , 1940 . >

captain sean lays down the law on the brenna a after becoming frustrated with the bullying of a veteran deckhand .

i love kenneth roberts ' historical fiction . arundel , rabble in arms , and oliver wiswell are among the best novels ever written about the revolutionary war . , captain caution is not in their league , but is a quick and entertaining read and a fun adventure .

with sig now off the boat , it ' s up to captain edgar hansen to finish out opilio season strong .

having taken her dead father ' s ship back from british captors , vengeful yankee corunna ( louise platt ) taking command with support from mercenary slade ( bruce cabot ) , sailors george lloyd , j . pat o ' malley and especially victor mature as " marvin , " not happy , in captain caution , 1940 . >

, based on the kenneth roberts novel " captain caution , a chronicle of arundel , " was the third of such projects . the film plays on the history of sailors and ships who aided the american navy in the war of 1812 by serving as privateers , a mix of private contractor and pirate preying upon enemy ships with the blessing of the government . like the earlier

here ' s a little oddity . . . a comic strip issued as an a4 flyer by british rail warning youngsters of the dangers of playing on railway lines . along the lines of the green cross code man , the br campaign features captain caution , drawn by ron smith . i believe this was published in may 1986 , at which time smith was drawing judge dredd for the

captain keith makes the decision to continue fishing during a massive storm . as a 40 - foot wave rolls over the wizard , his crew holds on for dear life .

jake anderson has been on deadliest catch for 11 years and we ' ve seen quite a transformation . the young captain looks back at his journey in this exclusive interview .

: when school pupils billy and paul trespassed on the railway lines for a lark and nearly got hit by a train as a result , captain caution spotted them and swooped down in the nick of time , snatching them from the path of the oncoming vehicle and averting a tragedy . he then lectured the pair on the dangers of trespassing on railway lines , and escorted them off british rail property .

it was all right , but the main guy seems a bit wooden , lifeless . the french captain is far more lively . perhaps that is for contrast . in fact almost all of the other characters seems a lot more alive than captain caution himself . the sailing facts seem to be a little off as well . i don ' t know who would ship long 24 pounders in the bow . long nine pounders where the preferred chase guns . that ' s a mere quibble though . i ' m fairly certain that the " gangway pendulum " was actually developed by the brit

in the midst of the war of 1812 , a british frigate fires upon a peaceful , unwitting mercantile ship . in the attack , the trader ' s captain is killed and the british take the surviving crew prisoner , including sailor dan marvin ( victor mature ) and the late captain ' s willful daughter corunna dorman ( louise platt ) . in captivity , marvin and corunna form an uneasy alliance and , along with the other prisoners , plot an escape . their goal : reclaim their ship and avenge the murder of their captain .

a featured captain since season six , “wild” bill wichrowski has piloted two boats on the show , including his current cape caution . with his prominent mane of white hair and occasionally fiery relationship with his deckhand and son zack larson , wichrowski has become one of the show’s most beloved curmudgeons . the a . v . club talked to him about the show’s filming process , life at sea , and the difficulties of landing a good greenhorn .

hal roach stretching out away from doing just comedies producing a b - swashbuckler with a pretty good cast and solid action . what made captain caution ( 1940 ) for me was bruce cabot ' s sleazy villain . an early starring part for victor mature as the so - called good guy , but he was so serious and emotional it was it was difficult to warm up to the character . the film also does have period where it ' s not very thrilling , but for a independent production it ' s quite good .

the deadliest catch captains aren ' t so sure this will be johnathan ' s last season , despite what the time bandit captain is claiming . one thing ' s for sure though : they ' re all going to miss him when he does retire .

thanks to my entertainment world , it looks like january 8 , 2018 will be the official start of production for the captain marvel film . while this hasn ' t been confirmed by marvel , it falls in line with the necessary time table for the movie .

it is 1812 and america has declared war on britain . the american ship olive branch is waylaid by a british cruiser . captain dorman is killed , and his crew is taken prisoner , including the captain ' s pretty and strong - willed daughter , corunna . widely recognized for his careful attention to historical details , kenneth roberts portrays the bravery of american seamen , their sufferings in the mist - shrouded walls of dartmoor prison , the invention of the gangway pendulum , and the sailors ' dangerous and dramatic escape . genre : historical

we have elliott [ neese ] who is a young captain but has years of experience—not all of it good—but to see what’s happening with him , i’m amazed he doesn’t have more problems with insurance companies . josh [ harris ] , he’s happy - go - lucky , not a real knowledge of anything mechanical on the boat . and what happens is that if something goes wrong on the boat , you can have the best engineer on the boat with you , but all in all , if things really hit the fan and you’re looking at loss of vessel and loss of life , everyone’s looking at the wheelhouse . you need to be able to make that decision to save these guys and a lot of these guys are so far from that point , it’s unbelievable . and they want to jump up and down and call themselves captain and it’s kind of scary , really . i wonder what’s going to happen to the industry down the road .

bw : you know , that’s a big step . up in alaska we’re trying to work on the boat so he can gain more of a mechanical background . you see these young kids and for some reason , all of a sudden , someone says , “okay , you’re the captain” and well , they’re not . you have people’s lives at stake . politically , i don’t want to get involved in this one , but it takes years of being an expert before entering the wheelhouse and a lot of them shouldn’t .

i love the historical novels written by kenneth roberts , starting with arundel as my favourite . this is the second book by him which i have read and is an altogether different setting with the same ingredients that make it an enjoyable and quick read . in my opinion arundel is superior in both its story and historical content while this book is great fun for any maritime enthusiast with an interest in the circumstances surrounding the war of 1812 .

not my fave from roberts , his characters were a bit derivative ( esp the frenchman and the black fighter , little white ) that said , it was the 30 ' s . his nautical knowledge and sailing terms were , however exemplary - making the book worth reading and keeping for reference .

this is the final volume in kenneth roberts ' arundel series . it is not the best of series , but i recommend it highly . roberts had a unique way of presenting history in the novel form . the book was written in 1934 and its language is a bit archaic . the other books in the series are more exciting and describe the revolutionary war in the far north of america and canada . " oliver wiswell " takes a unique perspective on the american struggle because it approaches history from the viewpoint of a britis

the book is small by roberts standards . it has many strengths and is fairly under rated . often when reading kenneth roberts the lead is the weakest part of the book . the exceptions are in arundel , northwest passage and this book . the lead in this book is excellent and the side kick is pretty good . many people beat this book up unfairly in the reviews . one should judge this book on its own merits and not by the impossible standards of rabble in arms or northwest passage . word of warning after page 100 the book picks up nicely .

how on earth could you make the naval campaign of the war of 1812 boring ? the fact that i read this at the height of my age of sail kick and during my trip to san diego where i visited the navy museum and still hated it speaks volumes all these years later .

and thus i finish my 40 year quest to read all of the novels of kenneth roberts , known in his time in the 1930s to 50s as america ' s greatest historical novelist . his novels can be read today with pleasure . this book is about the war of 1812 .

adventure on the seas during the impressment of americans by the british . good story .

publisher : down east books , u . s . ( 1 jan . 1999 )

this 1934 novel is a part of the classic arundel series . the action scenes and the depiction of life on board privateers during the 1812 - 1814 era ring true , based on my reading of other novels and non - fiction histories . just two cavils : the portrayal of the frenchman is overdone to the point of being a caricature , and the general theme is quite sexist : whether that is a reflection of the author ' s views , a reflection of the mores of the early 19th century , or the 1930s , i leave to the reader . the novel is readable and has stood the test of time .

i had to look up some of the nautical terms , but the story caught me and kept my full interest while i read it . it is a good example of the excellent historical fiction of kenneth roberts , one of my very favorite authors .

i ' m a great kenneth roberts fan . this was another in his fine books . very readable and holds your interest , as well as providing a flavor of early americana .

' bad films ' : one - and - a - half - star ( out of five ) film ratings by ' the motion picture guide ' ( jay robert nash and stanley ralph ross , cinebooks , inc . ; 1927 - 1983 )

. roach had built his studio on silent comedies , starting with a series of shorts starring harold lloyd and growing to include will rogers , charley chase , thelma todd , zasu pitts , the long - running " our gang " shorts , and the fortuitous ( and extremely profitable pairing ) of two longtime silent comics who became legendary as the team laurel and hardy .

with the coming of sound , he focused more on features than shorts and expanded his repertoire , adding low - budget adventures to his slate of comedies .

( 1940 ) , the spectacle of sea battles were created with special effects , specifically detailed miniatures in a tank , while the sailor brawls and boarding raids play out on sets safely on dry land .

with no stars left in his stable by 1940 , roach groomed his own leading man .

filling out the cast is a roster of colorful character actors . the spirited leo carrillo , usually relegated to outsized latino roles and mexican characters ( including pancho in the fifties tv series

) , plays the french canadian lucien with a flamboyant accent and plenty of comic commentary . former vaudeville comic el brendel brings his smiling swede schtick to the role of the ship ' s resident character and troubadour with his heavy dialect and broken english . completing the rainbow coalition of international character types is j . pat o ' malley , who made the jump from british music hall singer to recording artist to actor in a small bit as a fish peddler . it was the first of over two hundred movie , tv , and stage roles for the popular character actor , including memorable voices in such disney features as

( 1933 ) . and you can spot alan ladd in a small but memorable role as a desperate , wild - eyed prisoner who goes mad with revenge in the final act . in just a couple of years , ladd would break out of bit parts and supporting roles with

cast : victor mature ( daniel marvin ) , louise platt ( corunna dorman ) , leo carillo ( lucien argandeau ) , bruce cabot ( lehrman slade ) , robert barrat ( capt . dorman ) , vivienne osborne ( victorine argandeau ) .

when corunna is playing her piano in the opening scene she hits the wrong notes . she seems to miss the notes with her right hand , which would indicate a higher - sounding note , though the sound heard is a bass ( lower ) note .

in entertainment , an awful lot of stuff happens behind closed doors , from canceling tv shows to organizing music festival lineups . while the public sees the end product on tvs , movie screens , or radio dials , they don’t see what it took to get there . in expert witness , the a . v . club talks to industry insiders about the actual business of entertainment in hopes of shedding some light on how the pop - culture sausage gets made .

now in its tenth season , deadliest catch has become one of the discovery channel’s best and most respected reality series . currently airing in over 200 countries , the show follows ( and everyone should already know this , because everyone’s seen deadliest catch ) a number of different fishing boat captains and their crews as they hit the bering sea in search of both alaskan king and opilio crab , as well as the occasional bairdi .

bill wichrowski : we were all kind of skeptical in the beginning about hooking up [ with discovery ] except for a few . sig [ hansen ] jumped right on the bandwagon and keith [ colburn ] was not far behind . then a few other guys got on the bandwagon , but just didn’t hold interest . but as time went on , i stayed in touch with my buddies up there since i was working out of costa rica and mexico . i could see how this thing was growing and the notoriety was growing and when the economy took a dip , i decided to get a hold of discovery to see if they had room for me .

bw : originally , there were upward of 300 boats , but they changed the format of the season from a derby to a quota system . it’s kind of a lengthy explanation , but they gave everybody a percentage of the catch over the history of your performance and now the quota that’s given to you can be transferred to other boats so you can stack it up . so now , you’ve gone from over 300 boats with five or six guys on each boat to… we’re down to under 100 boats . i think last season there might have been 78 boats that participated . don’t quote me on that number , but it’s less than 100 .

bw : yeah . the state takes your catch history because it’s all documented over the years and then they arbitrarily pick a certain number of years , like this time they did seven . then , out of that , you could take your five best years and that’s how they developed the percentile for the quotas . your percentile is applied against the quota and that’s what you get to catch . but in my case , one year i was on a boat that sank so i lost out on my quota years , so i only ended up with four years . it’s all scientific , mathematic , and controlled by the government .

bw : right . last year we didn’t get to fish blue king , all we got was red king . there’s also a brown king fishery that doesn’t get a lot of press , but that runs a lot longer than the red or the blue king , but that’s just a small number of boats that participate in that and it’s not on the show .

we also got to fish some bairdi . it’s a fishery where the numbers aren’t that great , and we’ve been out of production for a while , because we exploited the industry a few years ago and , consequently , the season was closed for quite a few years and the market kind of went away . so it’s like an opilio on steroids . a big bairdi can be two and a half pounds , but a big opilio is about 1 . 1 pounds , so it’s twice the size and you get a lot more bang for your buck . it’s actually one of my favorite crabs to eat .

anyway , in october we do king crab , and at the same time , bairdi is open so you can elect to do your bairdi before king crab or after . the same is true with the bairdi in the second half of the season . it’s open at the same as the opis , but a lot of the guys get the opis out of the way and get the bairdi at the end .

the last couple of years with the ice situation , we ended up fishing a lot longer than we ever had . last year , on our particular boat we basically went from the end of september until the beginning of october , took a short break for the holidays and christmas , and then we finished up in the beginning of march .

bw : i have a home in mexico , but i’ve slept in my bed 12 days since christmas .

bw : i’m on the road . i’ve been doing fundraisers , nascar events , fishing tournaments . i just did a wounded warrior thing . we took 14 wounded warriors from the phoenix area and took them swordfishing . now i’m on my way to daytona beach tomorrow for a nascar event and i’ve got a few other fishing tournaments coming up . i hand out the big cardboard checks sometimes , and sometimes i fish .

bw : there are other fisheries involved . there’s herring tendering where you take the boat and go around to the seiners and the gill netters and you collect their herring and weigh it and keep it cold so it stays fresh and then you take it to a processor . they do the same thing with salmon .

last year was my 36th or 37th year on the boat . for 30 years , i did all of it for nine or 10 months ; some years i did it for 10 and a half months . i’m kind of over that . i don’t need to do that supplemental stuff . i’m trying to live life a little more , but i am sick of airports . i think i’ve been in 15 cities since march and it’s wearing a guy out .

bw : it’s hard enough on deck without a camera . you see our guys getting bounced around on deck and they have their full peripheral vision and they’re supposed to be trained professionals . then you put these film crew guys on there and they’re stumbling around looking through a view finder and it’s amazing that these guys don’t get banged up more .

there are two guys here shooting . there’s one on the deck , in addition to the four crew members there , and then there’s also a guy in the wheelhouse 100 percent of the time . the guy in the wheelhouse has a better vision of what’s happening on deck and he’s usually the senior guy so he orchestrates how things go with his deck shooter . there are also up to four fixed cameras in the wheelhouse and two to three fixed cameras on the deck . every shooter carries a camera with them and then there are the gopros . these guys have gotten so creative and innovative and that’s how the bar for the show has been raised—because they use this portable little camera to get some pretty amazing shots : hook shots , shots going over the side , inside the crab tanks . the camera guys have really stepped up and i think that’s why the interest in the show is still so high .

bw : everybody’s different . some of these guys refuse to sleep when you’re awake and then there are other ones that like their sleep .

we have six cameras , so there’s going to be some record of what happened . there’s a camera focused on me all of the time , there’s a camera focused on areas on the deck at all times , and those cameras are rolling , so there’s going to be some recollection . but there’s something to be said for having that guy there that knows what he’s looking at and is going to get the right angles and the right lighting and ask questions and get right in the heat of it .

over the years i’ve had guys that are just there 100 percent of the time and i’ve had some that weren’t . everybody is different and everybody has a different level of how seriously they do it . it varies . a lot of boats get a lot of airtime and part of it is material and part of it is the drive of the camera guy . the last few seasons we’ve had great guys .

bw : they basically participate with us . they eat with us , they sleep with us . we’re not uncivil , so we’ll ask if anyone has any kind of strict meds or can’t eat certain things . we check it out just as we would with our own crew .

many of them have flexibility to where they can go down and make themselves something quick in between when our guys do . if you watch the show , especially on my boat , eating is of a high priority , though it comes few and far between . a lot of times the camera guys will make themselves something real quick . i’ve had guys that make meals or they’ve made sandwiches and took them out on deck .

bw : he’s always asking what’s going on . if an event is happening on deck , he’ll obviously see my reaction and he’ll ask questions and it can be tied into the show .

in the first season it’s strange , because there’s never anybody in the wheelhouse . and actually , after the last season , i’ve really gotten to enjoy having somebody up there . i’d say 85 percent of the guys i had ended up being buddies . the guy we had last season has been trying to get down to mexico so we can swordfish and we stay in touch all the time . we actually spend more time with the cameramen on the boat than we do with our own families , if you think about it . you’re with them 24 / 7 essentially for five or five and a half months and you don’t see your own family that much . so you either grow to really like these guys or not ; it’s one way or the other .

avc : the past few seasons , discovery will also have somebody with the coast guard . when something goes down with the coast guard that the show is going to cover , the captains will oftentimes be listening in on the radio . are you told to do that ?

bw : it depends . if it’s a dangerous situation with another boat , we’re always monitoring to see if we can give some assistance . we also want to know if there’s anyone around here , because you’re going to want them to look out for you . so 90 percent of the time , we’re already aware of it . but every once in a while , we’ll get the news through the phones or communications or the internet that , say , there’s a boat way out west and it’s on fire . and it’s something that the public wants to see and it’s an additional danger on the ocean so what they’ll do is alert us of it and once they alert us of it , we’re aware of it .

avc : you’ve had notoriously bad luck with greenhorns , even though some of the guys have come from other commercial fishermen jobs . do you think the show has made it so that more people want to fish crab or has shown how real it is and that it’s actually dangerous ?

bw : that’s probably one of the best questions we’ve had so far . you would think with the realism of the show that people would realize this is a job that 90 percent of guys fail at . but i had one guy from down south that bothered me for two years for a job , said he was an ex - marine , said he was an ex - commercial fisherman in the gulf , and both things should have been perfect intros to being a good deckhand . he worked on sport boats , as have i , which means he should pay attention to detail , because sport boats are valuable vessels and you have to keep them clean and shined up and perfect . so i thought this guy would be perfect and potentially could have been one of the best guys we ever had , but he ended up actually being one of the worst .

what the show has done is created an effect where people come up to me and say , “oh , i want to just try this once . ” well , we’re not looking for someone to buy a ticket and go for a ride for 20 minutes and get off and say , “i rode that ride . ” we want guys that are going to stick it out . one of the questions i always ask is when someone will ask me for a job , i’ll say , “i don’t have a job on my boat , but i have some buddies that aren’t on the show that have boats . would you be interested ? ” and if they turn their noses up , i’ll know right then that the only thing they want to do is be on a damn tv show , and i won’t give them the time of day . someone really needs to have the motivation and the drive to do this and to want to come up . if someone wants us to give them a ticket and take the ride so they can say they did this one year , we don’t want anything to do with those guys .

avc : you want guys that’ll fish cod as much as they’ll fish crab on tv .

bw : exactly . you want someone who wants to have it as a career .

what’s funny is the best guys are the ones that are really on their last legs ; guys that don’t have a family business to go back to . if a guy is engaged to be married , he’s the worst one to get , because he’s going to be sad and he’s going to be lonely from leaving his girl at home . the question i ask is if they’re happily married ; if they say yes , i say , “stay that way . don’t go fishing . ” if you have a girlfriend and you’re like , “yeah , we’re talking about getting married , ” well go find something else to do . don’t come up here ; stay away .

the other thing is if they’re part of a family business . because if someone has something else to fall back on , as soon as this job gets to be too much to handle , they know they have something to fall back on and they’re out the door and ready to leave . so i always try to find out if they have something to go back to , like if their dad has a concrete business or are they carpenters or something , because if they have an out , they’ll take it . basically , you want to find a guy that’s desperate and he’s going to get through this no matter what it takes . they’re so hard to find .

the allure of being on the show has made it really crazy . i’m on the road all the time . like i said , i’ve done 15 cities since march and i get the greenhorn question everywhere i go . and i spend time in the south where it’s warm and the southeast and the southwest , too , and those are the worst guys , because they’ve never been around the cold . i tell them to go sit in a meatpacking plant for two days straight and have someone come in there about every 20 minutes and throw a glass of ice water in their face and then call me . and they’ll say , “well that sounds silly” and i’ll tell them it’s not far from what we do . you’ve never seen snow and you’re telling me you’re going to go out on the boat in the cold and have your beard freeze into your mustache and your nostrils freeze together when you inhale ? and people get mad , too . they’re like , “how do you know i’m not going to make it ? ” well , i’ve only done it for 37 years and it’s about a 10 percent success rate . i think i’ve got about a 90 percent chance that you’re not going to make it , ding - a - ling .

avc : the show obviously documents the rough conditions , but it doesn’t show the length of it all—the show can’t realistically document a 30 - hour grind or the pain that comes from the repetitive motion of bending over and picking up bait all day ; it can’t convey that stuff , really .

bw : that’s what i tell people . they’re like , “is it as bad as it looks ? ” and i tell them , “no , it’s worse . ” you can’t show cold on tv . it looks cold , but you can’t feel how cold that is . you don’t see the 30 hours where all we did was haul pots . discovery shows really bad pots and really good pots , but they don’t show the middle - of - the - road stuff , because who cares about average ? they want to see someone be a zero or a hero . so if you’re just on so - so fishing and nothing’s going on , it goes on for hours and hours and days and days and you’re not going to see them . they don’t get that part of it ; all they see are these exciting moments on the show and all this craziness and they think that it’s always this pinnacle of activity and , a lot of times , it’s just a hard grind in lousy conditions .

what do the hillstrands say ? “it’s like being in jail with a chance of drowning . ”

bw : oh , i’ve known all of these guys . i’ve been fishing longer than anyone on the show , i think . johnathan [ hillstrand ] started really early at like 14 or 15 , and i think he’s within a year of me , but as far as the guys on the show , i’ve got more years experience than all of them .

andy [ hillstrand ] and i were fishing partners . we did tinder herring together . it was a really aggressive form of tendering and we had the best equipment , so he and i made a ton of money and had a great time and we set up our boats quicker than anybody . we’d raft up and harpoon for days at a time and barbecue and shoot clay pigeons and it was a lot of fun .

i’ve known sig for years . sig’s been sig , he’s a hardcore guy and my hat’s off to him ; he’s a great guy .

avc : deadliest catch shows you making a ton of money , but crab fishing isn’t cheap . you can answer this to the extent you want , but how much is a crab boat and how much are you spending a season ? like how much is a gallon of gas ? is marine gas more expensive and how much gas do you use ?

bw : i’ll put it this way : i started 35 or 37 years ago or whatever it was , and i made more money on the deck than i do in the wheelhouse now . the government is coming in . i think 27 percent of it is taxes and fees off the top . the cost of fuel has gone up astronomically , the cost of insurance is through the roof , the cost of steel to make the pots is higher , the lines are more , the bait is more—they used to be in the teens , now they’re 65 cents , squid is 90 cents . the cost of crab hasn’t come up to the same level as all the things it takes to catch it .

there is no connected plot in the accepted sense but the film is focused on a number of the prisoners with an occasional flashback to indicate how they landed up inside .

the camera adroitly switches from one to the other , cleverly achieving sympathy for the unhappy prisoners . handling of the death - cell sequences is a model of restraint .

mitchell we accept the attack on baker and mitchell because we dislike the character so much . but in final justice the attack on geronimo and baker seem off base and too mean spirited . i think that in the effort to recapture the glory of the previous episode the crew made the mistake of riffing the persona of joe don baker instead of the movie final justice . now these final three seasons of mst3k are all a bit meaner and more sarcastic with the riffing . i accept that . but a few times they boys go overboard and i think this is a perfect example of it .

that’s the problem with the movie in general , it never comes together to make an entertaining whole . individual elements seem to work in isolation . others , like the music , don’t work at all . but still the final product should have been more interesting than this . i mean you got to film on malta and island with a lot of history and visual interest . but the bland half - baked script scuttled this flick before it had a chance . combined with poorly executed action and thrill scenes – in your action movie – well that makes final justice a dud in any book .

mitchell looms large over mst3k , and i can see the appeal of the crew tackling another joe don baker as cop movie again . final justice seems to have all the elements , as well as new ones to mock . the only problem is that fans of the show are going to compare it to the season five classic – and it will be tough to top .

the american trial and american cinema share certain epistemological tendencies . both stake claims to an authoritative form of knowledge based on the indubitable quality of observable phenomena . and both are preoccupied with sustaining the authority that underlies the knowledge produced by visual perception . the american trial and cinematic form also increasingly share cultural space . although the trial film ( otherwise known as the courtroom drama ) is as old as the medium of film , the continuing popularity of the legal drama centered on a courtroom verdict suggests more than a trend . the inherent affinities between law and film not only produce enduring and memorable stories about law and justice but help constitute a popular legal consciousness that sustains the authority of the rule of law in the united states . this article describes these affinities in more detail , tracing the common themes in trial films , the special case of trial film based on true stories , and the future of the genre in american popular culture . it concludes by reviewing the disciplinary approach to the study of law and visual popular culture .

this film ( along with girl in gold boots and hamlet ) is one of the three films during mst3k ' s time on the scifi channel to not fit into the usual horror / fantasy / sci - fi areas . unlike comedy central , scifi did not want mst3k to riff on movies outside those genres , but as they knew this would be their final season , the mst crew decided to do a few " straight " movies they felt were worth it .

the version of the film used in the mst3k episode contains a very prominent editing mistake . early in the film when the sheriff ( played by director greydon clark ) dies , there is a shot of the partner getting killed and collapsing to the ground . moments later , the exact shot is repeated . this error only appears in a television print , and the original vestron release does not contain this mistake .

no doubt french poet , dramatist , and novelist victor hugo ( 1802 - 1885 ) would be stunned to learn that more than 60 screen versions of les miserables have been made , and since the french debut of the musical , the english language version ( 1985 ) with a new libretto by herbert kretzmer ranks as the third - longest running musical in broadway history .

javert is an archetypal melodramatic character whose obsession with his own ideal of justice makes him into a villain who serves as judge and jury for everyone he meets . part of this policeman ' s zeal for bringing valjean down is the thrill of the chase and the battle of wills which ensues .

you know i agree with you . when i wrote this back in 2010 i had only seen the episode a couple of times and i was irritated by overall episode . this spilled into my commentary about maria ' s character and i sold her a bit short . you make a good point that she comes across as competent and able to think on her feet , something not all female cops of the 80s ever really managed to do ( thanks to poor writing and direction ) . i ' d watch your version of " final justice ii " and if we had maria as the main character that would be even better ! thanks for reading and commenting !

part of the success of les miserables as a novel , musical , and film is that it evokes and touches our yearnings for love , freedom , redemption , justice , and forgiveness . there is a built - in audience around the world who have already made the spiritual journey with jean valjean and are ready to make it again . fans of the broadway show , many of whom have seen it multiple times , are joined by the kind of people who regularly tune into the emmy award - winning english television series downton abbey for its top - drawer cast and lavish production qualities .

closing ( segment five ) : mike erroneously assumes that because joel was able to escape after watching a bad joe don baker film that it must now be his turn to escape . the bots gently point out that , regrettably , it ' s not and tell him to come upstairs for some swiss miss . mike asks if they can watch a good joe don baker film , but crow assures him that would never happen . meanwhile down in castle forrester , pearl ' s funny dress - up day gets a scary dose of reality from brain guy .

this episode is notable for the relentless mocking of joe don baker , particularly regarding his weight and hygiene . the reason why the mockery directed at him was so merciless was due to baker ' s reported hostile reaction to mst3k ' s treatment of his film mitchell during the 5th season .

in this action film , deputy sheriff thomas jefferson geronimo iii ( joe don baker ) must transport a captured mafia member from texas to italy to be tried for his crimes . however , geronimo ' s prisoner has friends in high places and the journey might not be as easy as he thought .

texas lawman thomas jefferson geronimo iii ( joe don baker ) simply has to escort italian hit man joseph palermo ( venantino venantini ) back to rome . but bad blood exists between the two . palermo killed geronimo’s best friend and partner in cold blood . in turn geronimo killed palermo’s brother while attempting to apprehend them . palermo’s friends aren’t about to let the texan get away with this , so they force the plane to land on the small island of malta . there , palermo escapes and geronimo must hunt him down . but texan swagger and stubbornness aren’t going to capture the killer , even if perky policewoman maria ( helena abella ) is assigned to help geronimo . he’s gonna have to take matters into his own hands to execute his brand of final justice .

the uncut version of the film contains more controversial moments such as showing an implied assault on one of the drug lord ' s dancers , as well as a topless moment from another female lead . surprisingly , none of the violence is cut out in the mst3k version ( possibly due to it being quick and not excessively bloody , and / or would ' ve harmed the film ' s continuity if it had been modified further ) . the edit used on the show cuts out profanity that is present in other movies and had been used by the sol gang themselves ( such as " son of a bitch " and " bastard " ) .

ex - sydney squatters spy v spy were noted for their tough , bottom - end heavy political output . in the mid - 80s , aboriginal exploitation was investigated in injustice , money culture was covered in credit cards , heroin addiction spotlighted in harry’s reasons and urban gentrification railed against in don’t tear it down . perhaps their starkest and most timely output however was my final candidate , sallie - anne ( 1986 ) .

the worst of the bunch is a very very very long foot chase that turns into a boat chase , that ends with tough geronimo getting knocked out with one hit , and palermo not killing him right there . what ? the footchase scene is very dull , with an attempt of suspense with palermo disguising himself as a monk , but instead of blending into a crowd , he runs onto a lonely dock ! ? they run around some dock equipment and boats , but it’s less than thrilling . finally they hop into boats and you get your hopes up for a bit – but it never gets going . it just seems like two guys are motoring around a bay in malta instead of chasing each other down . bad filming and editing are the real culprits here . well - executed action scenes require planning and skill in pulling off . i get the feeling that the action scenes in final justice were improvised very close to shooting and the result is something that never gels .

the host segments are hit and miss . the show starts with tom wondering about “the owner of the lonely heart” compared to owners of other things – like toaster ovens . pearl shows up with a corporate inspired “having fun at the workplace” moment . she’s about as successful as most corporate suits are at making work “fun” . after the break , the bots try to prove a point to pearl about continuity . mike shows off his physical comedy skills . the next break features the maltese favorite – goosio , who appeared in final justice as a float . goosio seems nice enough – which means that the bots must make him suffer . at the next break , crow unleashes his inner anger toward all things maltese . mike tries to correct this obnoxious flaw . the movie ends and mike assumes that he can escape from the satellite of love – just like joel did in season five . the sad truth is revealed to him – joe don baker does not equal the end of your duty as human guinea pig .

les miserables is the first film directed by british filmmaker tom hooper since he won the best director oscar for the king ' s speech two years ago . this romantic drama is written by william nicholson and adapted from the popular musical of the same name based on the 1862 french novel by victor hugo . the music and songs were written by claude michel schonberg , alain boublil , and jean - marc natel .

coming out of the papunya region in arnhem land , birthplace of australia’s most recognised visual art movement , the warumpis tacked onto a feeling for country few could match . many in the big cities down south were cottoning on to just what kind of magic existed within the shores of their country and driven by co - founder neil murray , the band’s only non - indigenous member , and enigmatic vocalist , the late george burarrwanga , blackfella / whitefella ( 1985 ) became a bouncy , dusty , back - of - a - flatbed anthem for fusion , both artistic and political . picked up midnight oil’s powderworks label , the warumpis co - headlined with them on the ground - breaking blackfella / whitefella tour of outback australia in 1986 .

les miserables delivers a powerful advocacy of forgiveness over revenge . after he is arrested and forgiven by the priest , valjean is set on a new path where he eventually forgives javert who has tormented and hated him for years . instead of taking the policeman ' s life , he gives him the great gift of freedom . and in the highly emotional closing scenes of the film , valjean is released from the past and embraced in a circle of love .

les miserables touches and moves us deeply with its depiction of this universal experience of the " tempest in the heart . " in this review of the film directed by tom hooper , we will focus on the main characters , quotations by victor hugo , and ideas and values to ponder ( indicated with • ) after experiencing les miserables . we can all do more inner work on our sentiments , and in the process , refine and polish our spiritual character .

his name is thomas jefferson geronimo . his brand of justice doesn ' t stop at the texas border ! geronimo ( baker ) is a deputy sheriff working in a small town in south texas . when two mafia hit men try to escape across the border to mexico , geronimo - with the skill of a quick - draw gunfighter - kills one and captures the other . when geronimo tries to take his prisoner to italy for extradition , they find themselves on an unplanned layover in malta . the texas lawman must battle the mafia to finish the job he started . [ 1 ]

that ' s a poorly constructed " epic " film . under the shadow of the forgotten ancestors , my first sentence is the warning i can provide you with . . . pardon me , prevent you from ever watching an insult to moral , mental and majestic dignity . pacino , sutherland , hudson , robotic crew ? if it were made by the puthons , we ' d be talking about a new masterpiece , however , if you are not a fan of miss kinski ' s delicate face , i suggest you fall into a coma compared to the indefinite visual suffering .

for those of us who prefer being forwarned about unsavory films : violence , way too much nudity and semi - nudity , a brutal shower rape scene , brutality , prostitution , blood . . . you name it , it ' s in here . even worse , this is one of those " ain ' t we the coolest ? " american films aimed at brain dead american machismos who swagger around crowing that americans can " beat the crap " out of everyone else in the world . in this case , joe don baker feels compelled to hold the entire italian judicial system up to ridicule , a xenophobic stance which , were he anywhere but in a movie , might have given him an immediate taste of the real thing , wherein he would quickly learn that the italian police are nowhere as dimwitted as this film would suggest . in any event , those as seriously misguided and misinformed as mr . baker will love this movie ; the remainder of us will cringe . except for rossano ( the only actor in the movie with anything approaching dignity and style ) , this entire film is little more than a violent and offensive embarrassment . but buy it anyway . . . rossano ' s quite charming in it , criminal or not .

over the years , there have been critics who have put down hugo ' s les miserables as a work of sentimentality . it is interesting that early in the eighteenth century this term had a positive meaning as something characterized by or showing sentiment or refined feeling . but since then , sentimentality picked up pejorative connotations . such as having too much sentiment . in our times , literary and film critics regularly show their disdain for sentimental works which they put down with adjectives like maudlin , mawkish , bathetic , melodramatic , and drippy . sadly , some male critics regularly condemn all " chick flicks " and costume dramas as sentimental slop .

under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian 21 or older . the parent / guardian is required to stay with the child under 17 through the entire movie , even if the parent gives the child / teenager permission to see the film alone . these films may contain strong profanity , graphic sexuality , nudity , strong violence , horror , gore , and strong drug use . a movie rated r for profanity often has more severe or frequent language than the pg - 13 rating would permit . an r - rated movie may have more blood , gore , drug use , nudity , or graphic sexuality than a pg - 13 movie would admit .

what really shines in the film is the maltese location filming . with its sapphire blue mediterranean waters and impressive walls built by crusaders , the island is really something to see . unfortunately director greydon clark doesn’t quite manage to show the island off as well as i had hoped . during the boat chase scene we get some great views of the impressive fortifications , but i was disappointed you didn’t get to see more . we do get to see plenty of floats and costumes during the carnival sequence , as well as some of the narrow medieval streets . still malta doesn’t come off too badly and it makes for some interesting locations shooting during the action scenes .

according to al pacino and hugh hudson , studio interference was detrimental to this movie ' s impact . i watched it in the " revisited " director ' s cut edition , and i was still unimpressed with what i saw . this is a movie that falls apart so quickly and extremely that it ' s difficult to pull out any redeeming features . this is a picture that should have been much longer and more detailed , with more focus on the characters and their motives / backgrounds . what we are provided with are not people with discernable traits , and the plot is too cloudy to follow it strictly on that basis . there are things that i respect about this film . for instance , hugh hudson ' s decision to shoot it completely on hand - held cameras is not only bold , but surprisingly effective . this is a very handsome and unique - looking piece . i also admire pacino ' s dedication to his craft , and he manages to shape a distinct performance when he appears to have very little to work with .

it’s not a bad idea for a movie , not terribly original , but you know , it can work . take one very texan deputy sheriff and stick him on the picturesque island of malta to chase a bad guy . have him run into a few fish out of water scenarios . give him a cute maltese sidekick and throw in some strippers and boat chases and it should work out right ? in theory , but in execution it comes back to the script , which was really flimsy . what you’ve got here is enough to make a 40 minute episode of a cop show , but trying to turn it into a 90 minute movie just kills it .

i’m not a big fan of joe don baker . he’s good in specific parts and that is usually a kind of blue - collar blowhard . he works as comic relief or as a foil , but as your main character – well baker comes across too abrasive . he can deliver a pushy , stubborn and decidedly non - diplomatic texan . but do you want that as your main character – for 90 minutes ? in many ways it’s not too far from baker’s role in mitchell but not as dumb . geronimo seems like a decent enough guy , he just believes that he has to do whatever it takes to get his man . a real old fashioned cowboy , but instead of rooting for him , you end up feeling bad for the maltese people who get caught in the crossfire between him and palermo . all in all , i don’t blame baker , he does what he can with a cliché character . but i think some more effort should have been made to make him a little more likable .

on the other side of the coin is venantini as palermo . he seems to be having a blast playing the oily and twisted villain . he chews scenery , says all kinds of mustache twirling evil lines and is equal parts annoying and dangerous . he’s a great foil for the stubborn texan . his disregard for others and brutal outlook make you really hate him . at least in this case , he’s a clear villain as opposed to the reasonable and urbane villains in mitchell who ended up making the hero look like an uncouth slovenly idiot . part of the reason this movie works is because venantini is so good at being bad . we may think geronimo is too pushy and a little too quick to beat people up – but to catch this sleaze , it might be worth it .

the rest of the cast is ok , reminding me more of television actors in style . i’m sure i’ve seen bill mckiney in other action flicks and televisions shows . here he plays the harassed official chief wilson who has to deal with maltese authorities whenever geronimo screws up . helena abella as maria the policewoman is perky and cute . her part is severely underwritten , more like they wanted another girl in the movie so they came up with this half - baked character . she doesn’t have much enthusiasm . patrizia pellegrino plays the hooker with the heart of gold . again , the part is flimsy and not too interesting , but she does what she can with it . rossano brazzi as don lamanna plays the cool and collected mafia boss who is protecting palermo . he puts a little more effort into the role , but it is a small one that hints at a more interesting back - story .

about those action scenes . clark really tries to drum up some excitement here . but it never really clicks . even big moments like the bar fight or the boat chase just don’t do much more than make you wonder how much longer the sequence will continue . the best sequence is the standoff between geronimo and some thugs . it’s a typical cowboy face off , even aping leone style close - ups and tension . the inclusion of innocent maltese onlookers makes this scene work , but it also make geronimo look like a real jerk for putting those people in danger instead of attempting to work out another solution .

back in season five mystery science theater 3000 did a landmark episode . it was called mitchell and it will live in infamy . mostly because it was the last episode that show creator and original host joel hodgson appeared in . but for my money it was also a top - notch episode , one of the best of the series . the movie

mitchell was a mean - spirited piece of 70’s anti - hero worship . joe don baker played an unappealing hero who was dumber than the villains and you were supposed to root for him . joel and the bots went to town on the character – and on baker himself ( unfairly attributing many of the characteristics of mitchell to the actor ) . the movie was mean , the riffing was meaner – but it was hilarious . it’s an episode that many fans enjoy , and that rumor has it baker hates with a passion .

i think the difference is the target . mitchell was a nasty character , not the least bit likable . geronimo is stubborn and obviously unwilling to adapt to his situation , but he’s facing a man who is a real monster . in geronimo’s mind , he has to do whatever it takes to capture palermo – or else the bastard is going to do worse things to more people . we might not agree with geronimo’s tactics , but we understand why he’s doing what he’s doing . mitchell never comes across that way . he just seems like an idiot from the first moment we meet him and gradually reveals that he’s also got a twisted sense of ethics .

what does this all mean ? mitchell deserves to be the target of countless slob , eating , farting , low iq and fat jokes . geronimo – not so much . in

when they do end up actually riffing the movie and some of it’s obvious flaws there is some funny stuff , but it seems to be lacking in energy . most of that energy is saved for mocking joe don baker and his eating habits . my favorite scene of the episode is the scene involving the carnival . lots of good riffing for the floats and the costumes and that provides some solid laughs . i also enjoy the riffing of the guard and his little tollbooth . and those of you looking for some funny catholic riffing will enjoy the entire foot chase with palermo disguised as monk .

this episode is lacking in a lot of ways , but it’s got some funny moments . but it’s one of those times where the whole episode never comes together for me . it’s not deadly dull like the blood waters of dr . z , but the laughs aren’t as frequent as i would have hoped . now i do know a few people who actually enjoy this episode more than

i give it two goosios out of five . you disagree - well you go ahead on .

a quick plot summary : two mafia guys murder the friend of a southern redneck american sheriff , with the improbable name of thomas jefferson geronimo iii . ( joe don baker ) . he kills one , captures the other ( venantino venantini ) and has to escort the survivor back to italy . once in italy , the criminal in custody escapes and goes into hiding at the estate of the very rich and powerful mafia baron , don lamanna ( our hero ! ! ! well , ok , maybe he ' s not supposed to be , but he ' s rossano brazzi ! so what if he runs a pornographic business ? ? ) and the chase is on .

after his son has been captured and brutalized by a british officer , an immigrant trapper ( al pacino ) becomes compelled to join the fight against the british in the american revolutionary war .

what ' s lacking in this heartfelt , well - researched , sporadically interesting movie is a master plan .

either as unintentional parody or truncated epic , you can start this revolution without me .

watching revolution is a little like visiting a museum - - it looks good without really being alive .

it ' s also a mess , but one that ' s so giddily misguided that it ' s sometimes a good deal of fun for all of the wrong reasons .

revolution has been dazzlingly shot by cinematographer bernard lutic in a process called system 35 , but so much visual grandeur seems more embarrassing than engaging when the dramatic element is such a mess .

on the plus side : the battle scenes , brilliantly filmed with a hand - held camera ; a remarkable portrayal of a sadistic english officer by . . . donald sutherland ; and clever art direction . . . on the debit side is al pacino ' s ludicrous performance .

bizarre accents and annoying camerawork abound in this package of tripe which isn ' t sure whether it has just left the butchers or is on its way back .
