Just about anything is better than "Gods and Generals" - including watching paint dry.

Well, the opening music and "parade" of flags was perhaps the best part of "Gods & Generals," and I liked the music on the DixieDays video, too.
I'm no expert, but the "hardtack" looked rather suspiciously tender...

Well, I'm not too crazy about "Gettysburg" either.... fake beards... splotchy acting... uneven story... obtrusive music... plodding pace.... farby reenactors... Wait a minute. Which movie am I describing?
