Christopher Forbes again

Parker Stevenson, TV's Frank Hardy, as General Sherman.

I don't know what's wrong with me. Watched another Christopher Forbes movie. The poor guy is truly the worst filmmaker ever. But, no, I haven't seen the work of every filmmaker ever. I have no idea who the worst is.

I stumbled on this (positive) review of one of his movies:

A coherent script — never a certainty in a Forbes’ film — sure helps. So do solid performances from his leads, Heather Clark and Tripp Courtney.

So does cohesive direction from Forbes, who avoids the pointless tangents that mar so many of his other films.

The tiny budget shows — from aging, overweight actors to Civil War battle scenes that include no more than a handful of soldiers.   

I've tended to be in favor of old and overweight actors but I'm starting to have my doubts. I think Forbes uses Civil War reenactors as actors. 

The critic in this case was reviewing The Confederate about a young woman in drag who joins the traitorous Confederate Army. I've heard there were a number of women who did this in the Civil War. Displays of nudity must not have been part of military service in those days.

Forbes has made up to five movies a year since 2005, forty-six total. If he could just make sense.
