About this product:
If you are going to buy only one Kate Bush album, buy this one or Hounds of Love, both of which are excellent. They are far more consistent and accessible than her other records, even compilations. The songwriting is slightly more consistent on Hounds of Love, but the production on this album is better. It is meticulous and clean, showcasing her voice. This is one of those albums that you can't go wrong with, a staple of college/alternative radio for years when it was released. This Woman's Work may be her best ever vocal performance. I can't imagine anyone being anything less than pleased with this album.

Ironclads [VHS]
$18.95

About this product:
This made-for-TV movie tells the story of some events that culminated in the first ever conflict between ironclad warships -- the Confederacy's "Virginia" (formerly the USS Merrimack) and the USS Monitor. The battle took place in 1862. The "Virginia" (aka "Merrimack") came downstream to break the Union blockade at the Hampton Roads, near Norfolk, VA, during the American Civil War (or The War Between the States). On the second day of action at that location the Monitor and the "Merrimack" clashed.

The movie's cast is highlighted by Virginia Madsen and E.G. Marshall.

The story line includes hints of a love triangle involving Madsen and a Union naval officer and a Confederate naval officer. While this part of the movie lacked some sincerity, it helps one realize that large numbers of people had friends and relatives on both sides during the Civil War.

I must say that I awarded this movie only three stars because the acting was not top-notch, the romance was not particularly romantic, and the drama was not especially dramatic. The reason it deserves at least three stars is two-fold. 1) When Madsen is faced with personal dilemma and questions her loyalties and motives, her mother's slave servant puts things into perspective for her by saying that things would not be so hard to put into perspective if she (Madsen) had been born a black slave. 2) The battle scenes, though somewhat lacking in the special effects department, were still quite good and may represent as accurate a portrayal of the battle between the ironclads as has been produced for the screen.

I would do a few things differently if I had a chance to do this movie over. I would cut or drastically minimize the romantic triangle. I would expand the opening scenes of the Union's withdrawal from the Gosport Naval Base, thus enhancing the premis for the story. I would also expand the role of the slaves who were used as couriers to smuggle information across enemy lines.

I recommend this movie to anyone who has interest in the American Civil War and to those who enjoy stories with a sea setting. If, however, you are looking only for an action adventure or a gripping drama, this movie will not satisfy you.

If you are looking for another Civil War era naval story that has more drama, check out the movie, "The Hunley."

I liked "Ironclads" but I didn't love it.

3 stars.
