	William Walker (soldier) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of Scottish descent, Walker was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1824 and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Nashville at the early age of fourteen.
		Before the end of the American Civil War, Walker enjoyed great popularity in the southern and western United States, where he was known as "General Walker" and as the "grey-eyed man of destiny." Northerners, on the other hand, generally regarded him as a pirate.
		Locally, Walker is remembered as the only native Nashvillian ever to become a head of state, and a historical marker commemorates his birthplace, downtown not far from Second Avenue.

	Documentary film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Documentary film is a broad category of cinematic expression united by the intent to remain factual or non-fictional.
		An important early film to move beyond the concept of the scenic was In the Land of the Head Hunters (1914), which embraced primitivisim and exoticism in a staged story presented as truthful re-enactments of the life of Native Americans.
		The newsreel tradition is an important tradition in documentary film; newsreels were also sometimes staged but were usually re-enactments of events that had already happened, not attempts to steer events as they were in the process of happening.

	Paul Walker / The Fast and The Furious 2
		Paul Walker may indeed be Hollywood's hottest young star, but as he divulged to Paul Fischer on the Miami set of The Fast and the Furious 2, fatherhood and surfing are more important than being a teen heartthrob.
		In the sequel, Walker reprises his role of Officer O'Conner, now stripped of his badge, on the run, and is now recruited to infiltrate the Miami street racing circuit in an effort to redeem himself.
		Walker is as keen on cars off the screen as his character's is on, a passion that began well before The Fast and the Furious came his way.

		A pioneer for women film composers, she stood at the podium at a time when no women were doing so in the industry.
		Although a number of women have written music for film before Walker was hired to write for Memoirs of an Invisible Man in 1992, her credit was groundbreaking in that it was the first time a major Hollywood studio hired a woman as the sole composer.
		Before film music, Walker had a distinguished career as a piano soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, beginning while she was still in high school.

	Walker: American Neo-Imperialism and the Will to Self-Destruction
		Walker himself is both the protagonist and the 'enemy' in the eyes of Cox.
		Walker blissfully ignores the bullets flying past him and stubbornly goes forth armed with only his ideals of American expansionism as his men are violently cut down by enemy fire.
		While the film's political sympathies upset enough people at (both) the studio that financed it and among the general public to have kept it from being much of a success, it is ultimately Cox's treatment of the subject matter which has kept this film seemingly suppressed.

		Walker, who wanted to do the film because it reminded him of a stylish, character-driven Guy Ritchie flick ("Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," "Revolver"), still isn't sure why Kramer ultimately tapped him for the role.
		Looks, of course, can be deceiving, but it's clear from the moment Walker bounds into a San Francisco hotel room and throws open a window to let in the mid-morning sun _ Kramer trailing quietly behind him _ that he's set on defying expectations.

	Walker Payne : filmcritic.com Movie Review
		On the surface of it, you’d think she was right, after all, the film is a hardscrabble period drama set in a small mining town, where the main character is forced into difficult circumstances in order to get his kids back from his harpy of a divorced wife.
		The early stretches of the film are concerned with little else but Walker and his dog as they scrounge about town, and it’s actually not half bad considering how little is going on.
		Walker’s wife won’t allow him to see his kids, an adorable pair of towheaded girls, and gives him an ultimatum: She wants to get out of their nowhere town and go to nursing school – $5,000 should cover it – and then he can have the girls.

		And there is no better example of this idea than Alice Walker and her 1982 novel, "The Color Purple." In 1994, Walker dedicated an entire new volume, "The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult," to chronicling her complex journey as "The Color Purple" was made into a film.

		Plot Summary: William Walker and his mercenary corps enter Nicaragua in the middle of the 19th century in order to install a new government by a coup d'etat...
		Through time, Walker sets himself up as the ruler of the worn-torn country, but the power gets to his head when he bites off more than he can chew to keep it that way and hold onto those principles he believes in.
		The way Walkers' progressive power got to his head personally and finally backfires on him (and his followers) with many disillusions having a lasting affect on his judgement is portrayed beautifully and concisely.

	2006 Philadelphia Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Director David Walker’s astute documentary Macked, Hammered, Slaughtered & Shafted offers a joyous celebration of those nostalgic attributes, but his film also delves deeper into the social and political climate of the early '70s that allowed the blaxploitation genre to flourish.
		Walker, editor of the popular blaxploitation zine Bad Azz Mofo, spent years making this comprehensive documentary — two interview subjects, Ron O’Neal and Blacula’s William Marshall, have since passed away — and the results were worth the wait.
		Walker’s film revels in the liberating cultural impact of the '70s fl action films, and provides a potent post-mortem on the sudden demise of the genre at that decade’s end.

	Walker Film Review - Time Out Film
		Funded by grasping capitalist Cornelius Vanderbilt (Boyle), 19th century American adventurer Walker (Harris) and his band of mercenaries invade Nicaragua and join forces with the liberals against the country's corrupt ruler.
		Despite his disastrous military campaigns and political naïveté Walker eventually falls into the president's chair (a historical figure, he was self-proclaimed president of Nicaragua from 1855-57).
		Only Ed Harris seems to have grasped this point: his controlled and credible performance is curiously at odds with a chaotic plot that shoots off in all directions without once finding its target.

		The film and Walker were torpedoed by the reviewers and Walker lost major ground in Hollywood.
		His films thereafter have lacked the quality and promise of his first two, including The Happening (1967), The Savage Seven (1968), Killers Three (1968) and the title role in Young Billy Young (1969) starring Robert Mitchum.
