Review :
What is more patriotic than asking questions of your governors??
This is perfect for the person whom went out and bought the 911 commission report at their local book store and said thats that. There are glaring omissions in our governments time by time analysis of that day. Why? I don't know & this DVD wont tell you. It just gives you a list of Commonly asked questions relating to 911, and outlines each question in detail for your own introspective thought. It does not tell you what to think, it just asks the questions you yourself probably all ready asked but they do it in concise clarifying detail. If your looking for a conspiracy movie this is not it, it only asks really, really great questions that as of yet have not been answered.

Extras go beyond the feature questions
This dvd has three main sections:

1. the 33-minute title feature,
2. 35 minutes of additional interview footage with the nine people named below, and
3. 49 minutes of a live panel discussion following the April 21 2003 screening of the film at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco.

Questions presented in the title feature are:

1. To what extent should airlines have been prepared for 9/11?
response from Mary Schiavo, Aviation Disaster Attorney,
1:55 in feature plus 3:14 in additional interview footage

2. What did the Bush administration know and when?
Michael Ruppert, Editor, From the Wilderness
1:58 plus 3:51 additional

3. Why wasn't the US military able to intercept the hijacked planes?
Nafeez Ahmed, Author, The War on Freedom
1:49 plus 5:22 additional

4. How did the administration respond to the failures of the military and intelligence agencies on 9/11?
David...
Limited But Relevant
9/11 Press for Truth is better, but this DVD is very worthwhile. It opens with George Soros being concerned about the dangerous foreign policies and actions of the Bush Administration, and then moves directly into asking 9 people 11 questions (generally one person per question). Here are the questions in abridged form:

1) Should airlines have been prepared?
2) What did Bush Administration know, and when?
3) Why wasn't the US military prepared or able to respond?
4) How did Administration respond to military failure?
5) Any ties between US Intelligence and the terrorists?
6) Were there plans for a war in Central Asia before the Bush election?
7) Is there an underlying motive for putting US military into Central Asia?
8) Is there historical evidence that US Government is willing to kill its own citizens and blow up its own ships and buildings as a pretext for war?
9) How has the US Government reaction to 9-11 impacted on civil...

Jogo do Pau is a unique and living European martial tradition.

It is a hybrid system that merges many historical martial skills and concepts - including outnumbered combat - with the specificities of its main weapon of choice: The staff - A most challenging weapon that teaches fencers how to protect one's hands in the absence of cross-guards.

Jogo do Pau's unbroken lineage of several centuries culminated in a fully structured curriculum that makes training easy.

The art's take on combat context can be helpful to HEMA's trainees & researchers, supplying them with a guiding blueprint of Europe's noble fighting arts.

This DVD, on the evolution of Jogo do Pau, covers how technique and tactics developed over time as an adaptation to a variety of combat circumstances, e.g. how outnumbered combat and duelling against opponents of different traits brought about specific adaptations regarding combatants' selection of:

1 - Starting position
2 - Parrying technique
3 - Defensive footwork
4 - Counter attack selection
5 - Striking technique

The authors also share a thorough and straight forward presentation on how these concepts pertaining the evolution of Jogo do Pau apply in interpreting historical weapon manuals.

This presentation successfully covers a practical top-down interpretation of the combat tactics that make up German longsword, thus promoting the optimization of fencers' tactical decision making.

Review :
From battlefields to Duelling - review
I recently watched the DVD ‘FROM BATTLEFIELDS TO DUELLING’, the evolution of Jogo do Pau by Luis Preto. Having had the pleasure of being taught by Luis in the past and having read quite a few of his books on different training subjects, I knew the dvd would be an educational, well researched work, and it is. Whilst going through situational aspects and origins of basic stances, attacking and defending motions, the evolution of JdP is systematically brought to screen in five parts, with a clear summery at the end of each chapter.
A good understanding of the interrelationships between guards, attacks and parries helps in creating a good perception of timing and distance. In such the dvd proves useful to practitioners and instructors of weapon arts, both modern and historical: the mentioned correlations are well explained and lead to simple pointers in the making of tactical decisions.
The pros and cons of stances and attacks are clearly demonstrated and in addendum...
Great source of information for anyone in HEMA
“FROM BATTLEFIELDS TO DUELLING: The evolution of Jogo do Pau” is a great DVD that anyone in HEMA should be interested to purchase.

What we have here is a living European martial art that is taught by not only someone who is passionate, but also very educated in the field of sport sciences and coaching. He has a number of publications, all in modern English, and to boot he’s alive.

So now back to the DVD, it goes through JDP’s development as a martial art. What I love about this DVD is that Luis goes over reasoning behind tactical and technical actions. Luis doesn’t just help develop knowledge on JDP but a working knowledge that can be applied elsewhere.

As a couple bonuses, Luis has included an analysis of German Longsword using a very effective flow chart, and a form interpretation in an outnumbered situation with a bladed staff.

Portuguese Jogo do Pau: a beautiful and effective European, centuries-old, living stick fencing tradition, clearly explained.
I had finally the chance to sit on my sofa tonight and watch your last DVD "From battlefields to dueling". First of all, I want to thank you for all the work and effort you put into sharing with the entire community not only the tradition of Jogo do Pau, but also for your experience and effort in developing a solid educational method.

I am not sure if you faced similar challenges, but I personally found often in old traditions in Italy non defined pedagogic methods, transmitted orally for centuries, sometimes restricted within certain circles. Methods that for the modern practitioner can be difficult to grasp immediately and that often require an actualization with current pedagogic knowledge. Actually some of these traditions have, like JdP, an uninterrupted continuation since medieval age (Sicilian and Apulian stick traditions can be traced back to 1100-1200), and bring with them all their centuries of battles and oral transmission.

Now: coming to the...

Review :
A bizarre and unique sci-fi film
This little movie usually gets lost in the vast crowd of 1950s sci-fi pictures, but it arguably is one of the most interesting. (I find it superior to W. L. Wilder's previous film, the still decent 'Phantom From Space' [see my review].) The aliens' physique and their plans for Earth, the minimal special effects and sets, and the use of stock footage showcase the sheer bizarreness of 1950s cult films - the lack of resources actually enhance the film's unique feel. The invasion-laden theme is common enough, but the way it is articulated sets the movie apart from most of its peers. The crucial scene, i.e. when the hero meets the aliens, is used as a lengthy flashback inserted near the middle of the film; it is only when the hero gets out of his trance/amnesia that the scene is shown. This seemingly innocuous device actually changes the whole dramatic perspective of the movie: in the first half, the hero acts against his own will, while in the second half, all of his decisions are...
B-Science Fiction Alien Movie
This movie has all the trappings of classic B-science fiction movies. There are the cheesy aliens, the hokey, out-sized critters, awful space craft special effects, and lots of stock footage of aircraft that do not match the scenes or each other. In other words, this is great stuff. But wait, there is more! Peter Graves is the star!

Dr. Douglas Martin (Peter Graves) is monitoring test explosions of nuclear weapons from a jet. As Dr. Martin and the pilot are flying around, which is shown by an obvious model performing impossible turns, they see something unusual on the ground. Faster than you can say "I was kidnapped by aliens," their jet crashes into the ground, killing both. But wait, here comes Dr. Martin up to the main gate of the military base. We later found out that those evil aliens saved Dr. Martin so that he could help them learn when the next nuclear test is.

Everyone is suspicious of Dr. Martin because he is acting strangely. When he offers to...
Killers From Space
Combine Cold War paranoia with a pinch of speculative pseudo-science and a dash of radiation anxiety, shake it in a cheap sci-fi tumbler for 70-minutes and you get KILLERS FROM SPACE.

A very young Peter Graves plays the desert scientist studying nuclear blasts and counting the radiation. When his plane crashes after one blast and he's missing for a few days things change. A big, ugly cautery scar over his heart doesn't explain much, either. Of course, nobody believes him when he tells them there's a troop of ping pong ball-eyed aliens living in the caverns in Yucca Flats, poaching our electricity and growing gigantic beetles and rock lizards....

KILLERS FROM SPACE is goofy, and for all of its campy charm pretty slow moving. Graves plays "astonishment" in every key in his repertoire. The alien outfits and makeup aren't very convincing, but they look comfortable. The big bugs look like... well, they look like rear-screen projections with amplified sound...
