★★★ · Night of a 101 Presidents! · Spuzz · 2003-10-12
Pretty amazing overview of all the American presidents, up to Ike. I say amazing as the film skips over presidents pretty fast, pausing to reflect on some (aka Harry Truman) while some get the 3 second treatment (aka George Washington). Nevertheless, a fairly interesting rush through of history, using pictures of the prezs up to Teddy Roosevelt, then actual film footage thereafter. That Calvin Coolidge, man, needed some serious media savvy....
★★★ · America's Presidents · Christine Hennig · 2003-07-11
This film quickly (sometimes very quickly) summarizes the careers of America's presidents from Washington to Eisenhower. For most of them, this is done in voice-over, over a picture of the president in question, but from McKinley onward, film clips of the presidents are shown. It's kind of fun, actually, to trip down the line, especially if you're a person who likes lists. Mostly, though, it's just what you'd expect. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
