Ride With the Devil: Roland Emmerich should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch this film as penance for the ahistorical tripe heap that is "The Patriot." Ang Lee tells the tale of pro-slavery and anti-slavery guerrillas in Missouri with restraint and respect for the time, making an effective period piece. The film is hobbled a bit by the annoying pokiness of Tobey Maguire and the at times amateurish performance of Jewel, but it is still worth the rent. B.
Of course, Emmerich would retort, "Ride viff zee Devil made no money. The Patriot, you imbecile, made meelions und meelions." And then I'd punch him in the throat because he was tied to a chair.
