NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

pmcf-06324 This is a good show if your not to anal about facts. The acting is decent and it is clear that a strong effort has been made to bring very good action scenes. The story is based around what happens after the Alamo and freely makes up story lines without much obvious research into what actually took place. This is obviously to allow creative freedom when producing future story lines and as a result the first series has led into an exciting subject for series 2, a much neglected part of American history and film making, Indian Wars. This show has been criticized for it's terrible disregard for fact and rightly so, but these critics do not seem to be able to see the bigger picture. It has been made well, it's interesting to watch and most importantly it has massive potential. The potential series 2 is set to tell the story of the cowboys struggles with Indians which has a depth of untold stories with countless battles and endless struggles to be told.Hopefully this program gets the chance to fulfill its potential but if it does what I would say to the producers is more detailed story lines and war scenes please.

Nerdballer I really did enjoy this show! A lot of viewers seem to be hating on the History Channel for making so many inaccuracies. The disclaimer at the beginning of the show says it was a dramatization. They also don't have the biggest budget in the world! I thought the acting was great by most every character. I had a problem with Cynthia Addai-Robinson. (Emily West) I felt nothing but overacting from her. Jeffery Dean Morgan was the best by far. His acting literally brought me to tears when he had to put down Charmaine. Bill Paxton played a great Bill Paxton, but I loved it. Brendan Fraser killed it, haven't seen him do something great in a while. I thought the story was great. If facts are not quite accurate it was for sake of the story and I was okay with it.Overall, great show and cant wait for Comanche Wars.

L A This was nothing more than an opportunity to show just about any graphic killing or bring up about every sex situation they could think of, even a jealous eunuch. It tried to make heroes out of the classless and immoral. There were scenes that meant nothing to the story and just took up space and left the viewer confused. The scenes jumped around and lost place and time. The acting was very good, but the story was mindless and very little was based on any fact. Another show from the history channel that only channels the worst in people. It is no wonder there are so many crazy killers out there when the media makes it look so glamorous and appealing to the immature and unstable. Texas Rising is junk for the brain. There was nothing uplifting about it.

drjgardner This is an epic film in the true sense. Wonderful acting, marvelous photography, inspiring music, and a script that brings history to life. The costumes and the language make you believe you are there. They may play fast and loose with some historical facts, adding a bit and taking away a bit, but for the most part the characters and the events are true.I was particularly impressed by the acting of Brendan Fraser (Texas Ranger Indian Scout), Ray Liotta (survivor of the Alamo), Henry Karnes (Head Texas Ranger), Ephraim Knowles (a wacky Texas Ranger), and Kris Kristopherson (Andrew Jackson).
