Hestson’s best and a must for fans of Medieval History!!
Heston did a lot of films in his career, but some were overlooked because they were not the bigger than life Epics like Ben Hur and 10 Commandments.
But I have found Heston’s works, The Naked Jungle, Diamond Head, Secret of the Incas (where Indiana Jones came from right down to the hat and leather jacket!!), The Big Country and The Warlord to be much more statisfying.
The War Lord especially is a rarely noticed and unappreciated film.
Set in Norman-Saxon England, he has been ‘awarded’ a small fief to hold against Frisans invaders (the same invaders that captured his father and bankrupted his family to ransom him). Tired of war, tired of the struggle, he is more than content with his lot – though not his younger brother, well played by Guy Stockwell. Heston only wants one thing more….the woman, a peasant promised to another. He can take her by right of being the lord, but he wants her heart and a woman’s love.
Realisit portrayal of the fuedal person of post Saxon era of the Norman invasion of England, the performances are solid making this one special film, most notable the late Richard Boone (Have Gun Will Travel), one of the most natural actors ever to fill the screen. Solid action and battle scenes.
A must for Heston fans that want more than just the flash, a must for fans of medieval history, and an absolute must if you are a romantic at heart and love knights of auld and damsels in distress.
A Realistic Look at the Knights-in-Armor Genre
I saw this movie in its original theatrical release. I was impressed at the time with its attempt to portray the period accurately. It was the first movie I had seen that did not romanticize the period as was done in Robin Hood, Ivanhoe and other similar movies.
The story is about a minor knight defending a dreary castle on the fringes of Normandy. The costumes are realistic and the dirt, grime and poverty of the period are shown without any of the usual Hollywood gloss. The main story is a love story between the knight (Charleton Heston) and a local peasant woman (Rosemary Forsyth), but there is plenty of action, including a seige of the castle by barbaric Frisians. I wouldn’t call it a classic, but it is well done and entertaining.
The DVD is the first I’ve seen from Goodtimes. The video transfer is surprizingly good for a film this old and on a disc this inexpensive. The color is rich and bright. The sharpness varies. The close and medium shots are good to very good but the long shots were both soft and showed some grain. The audio is digital mono so it won’t exercise your sound system, but it was clear and the dialogue was never drowned out. The only supplemental material is a trailer.
If you like sword and armor movies, you won’t go wrong with The War Lord.
A most enjoyable film
I love “The War Lord”. It’s no Oscar winner to be sure but it doesn’t make any pretense to be. Charlton Heston give a convincing performance as Chrysagon de la Crux, an 11th century Norman noble sent to govern a small backwater fief.
Guy Stockwell, who in my opinion steals the movie, is excellent as Heston’s younger brother. He exudes that latent violence and ambition that inspired so many landless knights of that time to go on Crusade to the east.
Richard Boone also does a stand up job as the older, more experienced soldier whose job it is to squire Heston’s character thru life. A little known James Farentino plays the local Celt in love with the woman whom Heston’s character takes as his own.
This is just a wonderful period film with all the things that make medieval epics so much fun. Knights, longships, druids, castle towers, boiling oil, the whole nine yards. It’s a wonderful way to spend a saturday afternoon.

Jim Greiner is highly respected as a percussion performer and educator. He’s dedicated himself to promoting the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of playing percussion to people from all walks of life. Now you can add “designer” to Jim’s list of credits, thanks to the introduction of LP’s new signature Jim Greiner Pro Shekere. Jim’s namesake shekere combines old- and new-world technology to create an original version of this popular West African instrument that’s amazingly musical while being extremely player-friendly. It’s designed to offer the traditional sound and feel of the relatively fragile gourd-based shekere, but with the durability of contemporary materials. The shell of the Jim Greiner Signature Shekere is slightly smaller overall than that of LP’s standard model. This improved size and shape was created by digitally matching an original organic gourd hand-selected by Jim, and then further tailoring all the dimensions for optimal feel, balance, projection, and warmth. The resulting design not only offers those sonic advantages, but also makes the Jim Greiner shekere easier to handle during performance. The network of beads that covers the durable fiberglass shell is unlike that of any other shekere. Jim worked closely with LP’s designers to create specially formulated plastic beads that help to replicate the bead-on-gourd sound of traditional shekeres. In addition, the cord material and even the weave of the netting itself have been specially chosen to achieve the most musical sound, playable feel, and attractive appearance. The Jim Greiner Signature Shekere is unlike any shekere you’ve ever played. It reflects LP’s long-standing commitment to working with the world’s most accomplished and knowledgeable musicians in order to create innovative instruments to meet real-world applications.

It holds ALL of the coffee!
I received an e-mail from Amazon asking me to review this carafe, which I had purchased about two weeks ago. OK, I’ll write a review. Here we go: In a world where carafes often go unnoticed, many carafes and carafe-like kitchen accessories struggled to rise above the masses; to gain recognition; to find some way to be different. This carafe, all by itself, did just that. Bravely staying put in the coffee maker while near-boiling coffee dripped in, resolutely holding this coffee for up to several hours so that the Joe wouldn’t just flow freely across the kitchen counter top, this carafe decided to make a difference. Sometimes our world seems to be coming apart at the seams, but you can count on this carafe to hold your coffee together in one place. Coming soon to a theater near you. (I’m here all week; try the roast beef).
Waaaaaaaaaaay too expensive
This is an excellent example of soaking the consumer. You can buy an entire coffee maker for the price of this carafe, but once you’ve committed to the Cuisinart coffee maker, you’ve got to buy their replacement carafe only because nothing else will fit. And it’s not terribly well made (fairly thin glass), which is why the original one broke so easily.
But it does make good coffee. Just be careful washing the carafe.
Great Investment!
There is nothing so satisfying as paying $25 to replace a brittle carafe for a $79 coffee maker.
