The real star of the show

In the hands of a lesser director,We also offer customized zentai suits. a movie about a 4,000-mile walk might seem as arduous as the task the characters undertake within the film.

But Australian auteur Peter Weir has a knack for delivering epic stories with a personal stroke, and so THE WAY BACK (PG-13, 3 stars) develops into a compelling film revolving around a rather static event.

Now, before you go in expecting whiz-bang action, let me assure you that this is not the case. This is a slow-burner – sometimes too slow – that you'll enjoy if you can appreciate the emotional elements of the story and Weir's sweeping direction, which gets a vivid showcase in the Blu-ray presentation.Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality,

Also, if you're looking for veracity, there remains some question about whether this story is actually true, which means you should come in from the approach of "fictional story with some true-life elements" in order not to be disappointed.

Jim Sturgess stars as Janusz, a Polish prisoner in a Russian gulag during World War II. There he meets an eclectic cast of characters, including Russian actor Khabarov (Mark Strong); American prisoner Mr. Smith (Ed Harris) and tough guy Valka (Colin Farrell). Khabarov has a plan to escape that the rest of the inmates have pooh-poohed, but one night Janusz decides to implement the plan, and before long, a host of prisoners have hit the road.

Their plan consists of walking – lots and lots of walking.Houston-based Quicksilver Resources said Friday it had reached pipeline deals They run across a young girl (Saoirse Ronan) who convinces them to let her join the party. The journey carries them through Siberia, into Mongolia and eventually India. Some will perish,This is interesting cube puzzle and logical game. others will find their limits reached. It's a remarkable story, one that unfortunately has been proven false over the years.

Still, it shouldn't prevent you from appreciating some fine acting work done by Sturgess,Not to be confused with RUBBER MATS available at your local hardware store Farrell and Harris – actors who live to sink their teeth into meaty, hardscrabble roles like these.

The real star of the show, however, is Weir's direction, which alternates between stunning wide shots that serve to establish the sheer magnitude of the journey and treacherous nature of making it on foot, and up-close-and-personal shots of the toll this freedom march has taken on the individuals involved.

The film looks and sounds great – it's heartening to see that even though the movie came and went at cinemas, there was no expense spared to deliver a transfer worthy of Weir's talents and your home theater system's capabilities.

"The Way Back" may not be for everyone, but if you a patient moviegoer with an eye for visuals, this will do the job.
