Advantages: Excellent story with a strong performance from Douglas Disadvantages: Very few - maybe not as much action as you might expect
One of director Stanley Kubrick's earlier and lesser known films, Paths of Glory is a powerful anti-war film starring Kirk Douglas. Whilst it did not receive any awards at the time, it has since become a classic, and is currently rated #44 on the IMDb chart - Kubrick's second highest film.

Disgusted by this apparent display of cowardice, the General Somebody (played by Somebody Somebody) orders a court marshal. Three men must be picked out and executed as an example to the others. Angry at this scapegoating by the generals, Dax chooses to ...
Advantages: adventure with a poiniant message Disadvantages: -
We all know what the American Civil War was fought about, right. The more liberal north were against slavery, and the ultra conservative south were for it, and so ..war.

Manufacturer's product description
Reputed to be the city's best Cantonese restaurant, Asian Glories serves lunches, dinners, and Sunday brunches in a tasteful modern Asian interior or outdoors on its terrace. It's hard to choose what is most delicious; their dim sum, fresh oysters, mussels in black bean sauce, and Peking Duck consistently get raves from fussy eaters. Leave room for an exotic dessert such as ice cream with rice and red bean sauce.
