	DVD Savant Review:
		Culloden was both a national and religious dispute started by a snotty royal willing to let his followers be butchered in an attempt to regain a mighty throne.
		The best part of the movie are the numerous close-ups of frightened, hungry and cold faces of men and children preparing to fight, and then suffering unattended with grievous wounds.
		Culloden's version of a reporter is to have a royal witness with a spyglass and writing implements hunker down behind a wall and shout out his amazement at the horrible beating the Highlanders are taking.

		The 'rebel' army (known as the Jacobites) consisted of the most powerful Highland clans and was led by Prince Charles Edward Stewart (Bonnie prince Charlie).
		Culloden was the final battle of Prince Charles' efforts.
		As the movie "Culloden" said at the end, "Thus, within a century from Culloden, the English and the Scottish Lowlanders had made secure forever their religion, their commerce, their culture, their ruling dynasty - and in so doing, had destroyed a race of people.

	notcoming.com \| Culloden
		Culloden achieves its effect primarily through the glaringly anachronistic presence of a TV crew on Culloden Moor, but this device raises fewer questions about tense (which become a significant and deliberate problem in The War Game) than it does about perspective.
		In Culloden, there is no consensus, no authority, and no televisual “voice of God”; rather, the “you” of the television audience is left to grasp at the event as a complex and incommensurable whole.
		Culloden was received mostly with praise by viewers and critics alike, with only minor objections about the film’s extreme violence and (deliberately) problematic mode of address.

	Calgary International Film Festival 2006
		Movies are meant to make you laugh, they scare you and make you cry but the movies I like the best are the ones that challenge your values and make you really think...long after the curtain has closed.
		This particular revelation may be borne from having watched the movie, or the darkened cinema may have been an escape or a celebration spurned upon by one's own life.
		Movies were always the best with my Grandma who fondly recalled all of the movies she saw as a little girl at the very same theatre as she filled us up with licorice and popcorn from the candy bar.

	TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES
		At least that was the plan in the beginning but Watkins's proposal to make a movie about the effects of a nuclear bomb on a city and its inhabitants was discouraged from the start (the subject was considered taboo by the British government).
		Culloden, with its high contrast look, has more noticeable flaws - some dirt and water damage - but considering the film's rough newsreel texture it seems appropriate in the context of the movie.
		Culloden comes with a commentary track by Dr. John Cook (Mass Media instructor at Glasgow Caledonian University) which definitely enhances one's understanding of this significant historical battle which may have little if any resonance with American audiences.

	Looking Back at the Future of Nuclear War - August 1, 2006 - The New York Sun
		All movies are about the present, especially those set in the past or future.
		During the decades when nuclear war receded into a memory-lane jaunt, motored by détente, the movie may have played as a period piece, quaint in its use of amateur actors looking into the camera and saying, no, they never heard of radiation or strontium 90.
		Movies about nuclear devastation were solid commercial bets between the late 1950s and mid-1960s.

	Culloden Film Review - Time Out Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		His oeuvre may be characterised as a progression from polemical hysteria towards formal paranoia, yet it is impossible to deny his films their emotive, affective power, derived from an innovatory manipulation of technique.
		Culloden (made for TV) exhibits Watkins' virtues and vices in about equal proportions, but takes on a critical centrality as an initiator of the 'drama-doc' strain of British TV.
		These quasi-newsreels of the past and future, feeding off the documentary tradition to bolster the 'realism' of their speculative fictions, and usurping the medium's primary resources for capturing 'actuality' to present reconstructions, effectively efface their artifice by playing on the 'integrity' of certain strategies of representation.

	2003 Pulitzer Prizes-CRITICISM, Works
		For if a movie is a time machine, a trip to another epoch, a realization of looks and sounds and sights not seen in 140 years, then "Gangs of New York" is a great movie.
		That's a suggestion of the story's lack of narrative savvy: The whole first act of the movie is about the theft and hiding of that knife, and its recovery 16 years later, in 1863, in a move heavily freighted with symbolic foreshadowing.
		The movie fails to make the point that even a little research convinces you of — that these folks, who were refusing to go to war to end slavery and save the union, were hardly victims; they were essentially in open, murderous rebellion against, er, America and were committing violent treason.

	Amazon.com: The War Game/Culloden: DVD: War Game,Culloden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Both films reek with realism, as they are acted by non-professionals; and in the case of Culloden, the grime and sweat of eighteenth century life and the ferocity and brutality of combat at this time comes across as though, indeed, cameras were available at this time.
		Watkins is clearly aghast at what people can do to each other, and Culloden, culminating with the massacre of the Scottish clans by the better armed and more ruthless British military, clearly, as Watkins himself as said, is another way of looking at what was occuring and would continue to occur in Vietnam.
		The movie portrays the fact that the US and its NATO allies may have been the first to use nuclear weapons in a battle over the Fulda Gap in Germany (a likely hotspot).

	A Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		Doc Films showed Culloden and The War Game last fall, both of which were revelations.
		The immediacy of his approach--in one famous sequence, a tv journalist is standing on the Culloden battlefield explaining the battle as it happens and interviewing various soldiers--broke down the ostensible objectivity of documentaries and revealed the difficulties of portraying history.
		In certain ways, this makes the movie more captivating, but it also seems like a betrayal of Darger's art, as if his art can't stand on its own but must be infantilized like a children's animated storybook.

	Culloden (1964) - Channel 4 Film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Yes, there are errors (and they are irritating) but Watkins is very even-handed, as quick to blame the Jacobite failure upon their own stupidity as the brutality of the Hanoverians.
		Culloden is warfare as seen through the eyes of a 1960s outside broadcast unit.
		A brilliantly realised TV movie, Culloden is amongst the earliest and the most successful docudramas ever made.

		It was controversial even before it premiered at the Toronto film festival, because it purports to describe the aftermath of the assassination of George W. Bush on a visit to Chicago in October 2007.
		Early infotainment reports gave the impression that the movie assassination was a good thing, a cause for celebration.
		Despite the sarcasm and scorn heaped on the officers of Culloden by the narration and intertitles and the strange effect of using contemporary documentary methods on an 18th-century subject, the film isn't mocking the documentary form.

		In 1976 the movie industry turned its shuttered film cameras on the unblinking eye of TV, in the fl comedy "Network." Actor Peter Finch portrayed newscaster Howard Beale, who became "the mad prophet of the airwaves" in a strange ratings-driven transformation.
		It was Watkin's "Culloden" (1964 movie UK) which had superrealistic gore in portraying the Battle of Culloden, 1746, that marked the end of the Jacobite Rebellion, as Scots troops supporting Bonnie Prince Charlie's claims to the British throne were soundly defeated by the English.
		When the breakout hit "The Blair Witch Project" (1999 movie US) appeared on the cultural horizon, the big news was 1) the film was shot for a pittance on camcorders that were then returned to the store for a refunds, and 2) the internet was used in a very creative way to promote the movie.

		"Culloden," also produced by the BBC, probes war's impact from a fantastical premise, filming the last pitched battle on British soil -- Culloden in 1746 -- as a docu.
		And John Cook, a Watkins scholar, peppers his remarks on "Culloden" with both professional expertise and personal insights.
		Scratches, spots and speckles mar much of the footage, but it's unclear whether that represents cheapness on the part of the distributor or an attempt to preserve the atmosphere Watkins clearly prized.

	The Scottish Terror: Culloden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In April of 1746, Culloden, a moor outside Inverness, was the site of the last battle in Charles Edward Stuartâs brief war to regain his ancestorsâ Scottish throne and capture the one in London.
		In Culloden he seems to have had two general motives: to remind the complacently forgetful English of some of the bloody origins of their political situation and to convey the lunatic ferocity of war.
		As an example of Watkinsâ work, Culloden is less impressive or representative than Punishment Park (recently released on DVD), a fictional portrayal of a fascistic security regimeâ”the Nixon Administration, specificallyâ”hounding and killing war protesters through legal mechanisms and blunt force.

		Taken together, Culloden and The War Game, the film that followed it, represent an important first strike in a career of film and television work that radically challenges conventional modes of historical representation in the mass media.
		In Culloden, Watkins deliberately problematizes tense and perspective, destabilizing conventional notions of history and temporality on television.
