Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Soap Opera of Pre-civil War
North and South is about two friends, who attend and graduate from West Point. One friend is from the South and the other from the North. The Abolitionist were preaching about the evils of slavery, the brutality of the slave owners, and the inevitiblity of machines.

North and South is filled with action, carnage, tragedy, sorrow, joy, marriages, obligations, jealousy, true love, and passion. This is probably the best work for Patrick Swayze. Swayze acting and character were ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Incredible, as good if not better than Gone With The Wind!
Incredible, as good if not better than Gone With The Wind! Stunning set design, incredible costumes and Oscar worthy acting, this stunning portrayal of the Civil War and the lives of the Hazzards and the Maines will take you in and capture your attention.

Men and women will love this movie, make a weekend of ... Read More

Down), especially Alley, Carradine and many
blacks (how about the Buckwheat meets Fred
Williamson act by Forrest Whitaker?!) hurts
overall production. Beautifully filmed and
edited like the sorry Broke Back Mountain,
but wastes too much time inputting the Pro-
ducer (especially ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice soap opera
I liked the mini series. Acting is good. Scenery lovely. Costuming is superb. Gives the viewer a real feel for the place and time.

Unfortunately there are some things I don't care for. Both sides, if there's a character in one family there is another in the other just like that person. Some of the relationships are somewhat stale. The main villein is really two dimensional.

Both the southern main character and his northern counterpart fall in love with women socially unacceptable ... Read More
