Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Directed by Alan J. Pakula (All the President's Men, Sophie's Choice), this is an excellent, paranoid thriller and a benchmark for films of this type from the 1970s. Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde) plays Joseph Frady, an arrogant investigative reporter who witnesses the assassination of a United States senator and then discovers that other reporters who were on the scene are dying under mysterious circumstances. With the help of his editor (Hume Cronyn), Frady goes underground to infiltrate the Parallax Corporation, which uses mind control to train assassins. And Frady might be the next one in line to take a fall. Featuring a classic brainwashing sequence and laced with intensity from start to finish, The Parallax View is essential viewing for fans of the political thriller genre. --Robert Lane

The sound track was horrible - could barely hear the dialog while the special effects and music were extremely loud. A lot of the scenes were very dark. Did not hold up as well as I remember the original.

A good retro movie to watch if you like conspiracy theories as a storyline. The Parallax Corporation is a fictional organization that trains assassins. Warren Beatty as Frady, (as in Fraidy-Cat, maybe?) seemingly paranoid journalistic investigator, gets on to their schemes, putting himself in grave danger and knowing he will not be believed by anyone. I really enjoyed this movie when I viewed it on the big screen in the Seventies. Warren is very, very good as is Hume Cronyn.

Parallax View is a 70s paranoia/conspiracy film. This movie is not in a class with Three Days of the Condor, but it stand up well against the test of time. (Even if the fashions don't.) The story and theme are a bit threadbare, but the acting and cinematography keep The Parallax View interesting.
My biggest problem is that the film sacrifices storytelling because it strives too hard to be art. (An artistic film does not need to be static or mind-numbingly slow.) Storytelling is especially ... Read More

This revered '70s paranoia thriller strikes me as a major disappointment. It starts out promisingly with an intriguing conspiracy plot, but director Alan J. Pakula is simply a lousy storyteller. His sense of pacing is terrible--scenes go on for far too long, often while we don't really understand what is happening in them, and then cut abruptly to something new. Parts of the film that are intended to be suspenseful register as dull and confusing. This does have its compensations; Pakula and the great ... Read More

From the moment reporter Frady (Beatty) decides to investigate, he's caught in an anonymous web whose only face is that of the sinister Jack Younger (McGinn). How far does the web extend-- we can only guess. For Frady, it stretches from a tiny hamlet in the Pacific Northwest to a soaring glass monolith somewhere in urban America.
Probably no film captures the paranoid unease of the years between the JFK assassination and the Nixon resignation better than this one. Apprehension flowed like a ... Read More

Cunard Line has announced that its new
85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Cruise
Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.
Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise
Queen Victoria!
Premium Cruises
The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
