Shadow Watlz was released in November 1985 and directed by Milton Bagby. The cast and the director are unfamiliar the only star in this movie was Jamie Rose as Columbine Cromwell and the lesser known Thom Gossom Jr as Pompeii (a slave). The movie plot is about the American Civil War in the 1860s. A lonely Indiana farm widow finds love when she takes in an injured traveling salesman (Terence Knox), only to learn he is a Confederate spy on the run from Yankee patrols. The story then evolves from being just a simple drama film to something more. The movie actually covers many important elements, this was however not enough to impress Hollywood who slaughtered the movie.

The movie was filmed in Bessemer, Alabama, USA and features beautiful environment. The director Milton Bagby was fresh in the game when I made this movie it became his first and his last film. The movie contains plenty of drama, a lot of romance and some good war scenes. However, Shadow Waltz also known as Revel Love never made it big. My guess was that the Director was simply not experienced enough and a bad selection of actors made it even worse.

The story is based on a true story about a CBS 60 Minutes-episode in 1994 on malpractices in the tobacco industry that was not aired because CBS parent company Westinghouse objected. Pacino plays the 60 Minutes Producer. Pacino really offers quality to this movie filmed in Alabama together with Russell Crowe, this is simply a movie you have to watch.

The film is a romantic comedy with a simple and easy story. The script is however poorly written and sometimes it is hard to understand what the actors really mean with their lines. Runner and Robyn was however summer camp sweethearts but she turned out to be a Hollywood superstar while Runner stayed at his farm milking his cows. His granny tells him to go to Hollywood to meet Robyn again and get her back, when he takes his granny’s advices and seeks her out Robyn does not recognize him. He gets a job as her gofer and tries to do everything so that Robyn will fall in love with him all over again. So as you see the story is pretty cheesy but quite acceptable at some points.

The cast of this movie is legendary we have Hollywood superstars like Kurt Russel in the main role followed by Steven Seagal and Halle Berry. We should also not forget John Leguizamo’s excellent performance in this film.

The story is about some terrorists takes over a 747 bound from Athens to Washington D.C. They take the plain because they want the US prison to release their leader. USA however believes the plain got a bomb on it and they forbid the plain from entering US airspace. USA then sends up a plain with soldiers to take over the plain again and kill the terrorists. The film, story and cast are simply excellent in this movie and if you haven’t seen it yet I suggest you should.
