	Glory (1989)
		Perhaps they really did have planning meetings before each actual conflict, like the one which ended this movie, however the director chose not to give us any glimpse of that and I think it was a mistake to film it that way.
		However, that little picking of nits aside, 'Glory' is a fine film, and the main characters are very well portrayed by Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Denzel Washington, who received the Oscar for his supporting role.
		Much of the story is their realizing they were fighting for themselves, not for the 'white man.' In the final scene, their leader volunteered them for the difficult task of leading a charge on a Union fort, hopefully paving the way for other troops to come in and clean up.

		The film's hero is a plucky, undersize wood pigeon named Valiant (voiced by Ewan McGregor) who, over his mother's objections, volunteers for military service.
		While the film completely avoids violence -- no bombing raids, neither human nor avian carnage -- it would seem to be a rather uninteresting subject for the wee tots Disney is hoping to attract.
		Not every children's film can be Shrek -- or the wonderful Disney films of old, such as Lady and the Tramp and Bambi.

	Article on Star Wars Revelations and Director Shane Felux
		In terms of FX for the film, we used anything and everything that worked and got the job done Because we are working with volunteers who span the globe, they had to use their own equipment and software to do the CG.
		The intent of the film is not to be an FX film, but we need FX elements to sell the world we were in and really immerse the audience in the idea that you were in the Star Wars universe.
		I have only seen the trailer thus far, and can definitely say that this film will be better than some of the films I have dropped dollars for at the theater.
