Dare we say it, an absolute cracker of a castle with classic proportions and perfect symmetry. The Last Castle is a 2001 American action drama film directed by Rod Lurie, starring Robert Redford, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo and Delroy Lindo. The film portrays a struggle between inmates and the warden of a military prison, based on the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth.[A highly decorated U.S. Army Lieutenant General, court martialed and sentenced for insubordination, challenges the commandant, a colonel, over his treatment of the prisoners. After mobilizing the inmates, the former general leads an uprising aiming to seize control of the prison. The film was released on October 19, 2001, in the United States, grossing about $28 million worldwide. The low gross, in comparison to its high production and marketing expenses, resulted in its being considered a box office bomb. Lieutenant General Eugene Irwin (Robert Redford) is brought to a maximum security military prison to begin a ten-year sentence for his decision (in violation of a presidential order) to send U.S. troops on a mission in Burundi, resulting in the deaths of eight soldiers. Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini), the prison's commandant, is a great admirer of the general but is offended by a comment he overhears: Irwin criticizes Winter's much-prized military artifacts collection, calling it something no actual battlefield veteran would ever have. Winter, who has never seen combat, resents the remark. He then takes exception to what he perceives as Irwin's attempt to change the attitudes of the prisoners, his admiration for Irwin fading fast. On one occasion, Irwin is punished harshly after stopping a guard from clubbing a prisoner, Corporal Ramon Aguilar (Clifton Collins, Jr.), who had made the mistake of saluting Irwin in the prison yard. Continuing to observe acts of cruelty, Irwin attempts to unify the prisoners by building a "castle wall" of stone and mortar at the facility, which in many ways resembles a medieval castle. Envying the respect Irwin is clearly receiving, Winter orders his guards to destroy the wall. Aguilar, directly involved in its construction, takes a stand before the bulldozer. Winter orders a sharpshooter with a coded hand gesture to fire a normally non-lethal rubber bullet directly at Aguilar's head, killing him. After the wall is destroyed, Irwin and the inmates pay final respects to Aguilar in formation. Winter later tries to make amends with Irwin, who calls him a disgrace to the uniform and demands his resignation. The prisoners begin to behave like soldiers around Irwin, using code words and gestures, infuriating the commandant. Winter reaches out to an anti-social prisoner named Yates (Mark Ruffalo), a former officer and Apache helicopter pilot convicted of running a drug-smuggling ring. Yates is bribed to inform about Irwin's plans in exchange for a reduced sentence. Irwin organizes a plot to throw the prison into chaos. His intent is to show a friend, Brigadier General Wheeler (Delroy Lindo), the commandant's superior officer, that the commandant is unfit and should be removed from command under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a visit, Winter receives a letter threatening the kidnapping of General Wheeler by the prisoners. After ordering his men into action, Winter discovers that the scheme was a fake. Irwin orchestrated it as a way to detect how prison guards would react during an actual uprising. Yates becomes the key to their plan, tasked with stealing a U.S. flag from the warden's office and seizing a Bell UH-1 helicopter used by guards. The inmate revolt begins. Using improvised weapons—some resembling medieval or Roman ones, such as a trebuchet and a testudo formation—and the tactics of a military unit, the prisoners capture an armored vehicle and the helicopter. The prisoners place a call to Wheeler's headquarters and inform him of the riot. Winter has little time to regain control before Wheeler will arrive to see the prison under siege. He orders the use of live ammunition against the prisoners. Winter knows from Yates that Irwin's ultimate goal is to raise the American flag upside down, a classic signal of distress. Irwin's men create havoc but ultimately are confronted by overwhelming numbers of guards, all armed with live ammunition. Knowing further resistance would only mean a massacre, Irwin orders the prisoners to stand down. Winter has successfully halted the uprising, but Irwin nonetheless elects to personally hoist the flag. Unable to make him stop, Winter orders his men to open fire on Irwin before the upside-down U.S. flag is flown. They refuse to do so on the orders of Winter's second-in-command, Captain Peretz. The colonel cannot persuade anyone else to follow his command, so he proceeds to shoot Irwin fatally himself. Peretz places the commandant under arrest. The prisoners salute the flag and Winter now sees that Irwin has actually raised the flag in the correct manner. It flies above the prison's walls as General Wheeler arrives and Colonel Winter is led away in handcuffs. The story ends with the inmates building a new wall as memorial to their fallen comrades. Aguilar and Irwin's names are among those carved onto the castle's wall. Robert Redford as Lieutenant General Eugene Irwin James Gandolfini as Colonel Winter Mark Ruffalo as Yates Delroy Lindo as Brigadier General Wheeler Steve Burton as Captain Peretz Paul Calderón as Sergeant Major Dellwo Clifton Collins, Jr. as Corporal Aguilar Robin Wright (uncredited) as Rosalie Irwin, the general's daughter The film was shot mainly at the 103-year-old former Tennessee State Prison in Nashville, which had previously been used for filming in The Green Mile and Last Dance, and was chosen because of its Gothic and castle-like appearance. The state of Tennessee offered to provide the location rent-free, with exemption from the state's 6 percent state sales tax. James Gandolfini earned $5 million for co-starring in the film after finishing the third season of The Sopranos in March 2001. A crew of 150 worked on refurbishing existing buildings and constructing new buildings in a time limit of nine weeks. A wall 61 metres (200 ft) long and 6 metres (20 ft) high was built, serving as the prison's entrance. A metal walkway and two towers were also built as vantage points for the guards. The film required an office with a large window through which the warden could watch the inmates; this was constructed by the production crew. Director Rod Lurie insisted on having the prisoners' cells face each other, but this is not the case at the Tennessee State Prison. To solve the problem, production designer Kirk Petruccelli created cells in a warehouse near the prison. To show the balance of power, the film crew used multiple cinematography techniques involving different displays of color, lighting, camera and costumes. In the warden's office intense color was used to reflect freedom or power, in contrast to the washed-out colors from the less powerful yard. The contrasts shift as the story progresses, showing the increasing power of the prisoners. The American flag in the yard is described by Petruccelli as "the heart of The Castle" and is the only exemption to the washed-out color palette. Cinematographer Shelly Johnson, in collaboration with director Lurie and the design team, also used lighting and camerawork to signify the shifting of powers. For example, the yard is at first naturally lit and more influenced by daylight, in contrast to Winter's office, which is artificially illuminated by lamps. As the film progresses, the office is more fully infiltrated by exterior light through a broken window. The shift of power is also emphasized through camera techniques. Hand-held cameras were used when filming in the yard to make the audience feel as if they were "participants in the action". However, a very precise, sterile camera composition was used in the warden's office. The prisoners' world gets more precise during the film, while the colonel's world is filmed more loosely. Costume designer Ha Nguyen also demonstrates this contrast in the clothing of the cast. The film starts with the prisoners having their clothing divided by ethnicity, with African Americans wearing different headwear, Latinos wearing vests and various arm accessories, and the White Americans in cut-off t-shirts. After the arrival of General Irwin, the prisoners start wearing more similar clothing in a "sharp military manner". The uniforms of the prisoners change from the usual chocolate brown color to light grey, because of its muddled look on film and excessive darkness in some scenes. Ha Nguyen also contrasted the non-battlefield ribbons found on Colonel Winter's uniform with the battlefield medals found on General Irwin's uniform (seen only in the opening scene as Irwin is inducted into the prison). The wall created by the prisoners in the middle of the yard also represents change and incarnation. What is at first a "discombobulated mess" representing the lack of unity among prisoners later becomes a perfect wall, a "powerful symbol of the results of [Irwin's] leadership". Special effects supervisor Burt Dalton and stunt coordinator Mic Rodger created the battle weapons used in the final scenes. The trebuchet, used by prisoners to throw rocks, was capable of throwing a 68 kilograms (150 lb) rock a distance of 60 metres (200 ft) with an accuracy of ten feet around the target. The water cannon had the power to shoot 76 litres (20 US gal) of water per second. Some of the cast did their own stunts, including Mark Ruffalo, who performed one scene hanging from a helicopter. Interiors of the helicopter were not created with blue screen effects; instead, a special gimbal was used to hold a full-sized Huey-A type military helicopter. The gimbal was capable of rotating the helicopter 360 degrees and vertically moving it 20 feet. The gimbal was controlled by a computer, allowing Dalton to precisely set speed and movement; this ensured precise repeatability for multiple takes. Prior to release, DreamWorks pulled the original poster from circulation, which depicted an American flag flying upside down (a standard distress call), due to concerns about public sensitivity related to the September 11 attacks. The film was released on October 19, 2001, in 2,262 North American theaters, grossing $7,088,213 on its opening weekend with an average of $3,133 per theater. The release spanned 63 days (9 weeks), closing on December 20, 2001, with a total domestic gross of $18,244,060. The film grossed $9,398,647 overseas, with the lowest earning in Egypt ($5,954) and the highest ($1,410,528) in Germany. The film received mixed reviews, in which it has scored a 52% rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 113 reviews. 59 of these are positive and 54 negative, with an average rating of 5.6/10 and the consensus: "The Last Castle is well acted and rousing for the most part, but the story cannot stand up to close scrutiny." At Metacritic, a rating website which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 42/100, based on 32 reviews. Mick LaSalle from the San Francisco Chronicle mentioned the cast, describing Redford as "no George C. Scott" and Gandolfini as an unusual choice to play an icy intellectual. LaSalle stated that "'The Last Castle', on the surface, seems like a naive film about a great leader's capacity to inspire", but at closer look "seems to mean one thing but means another upon reflection". In general, LaSalle is in favour of the movie. Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times saw it as "a dramatic, involving story" but criticized its "loopholes and lapses." Ebert noted that Irwin is no less evil than Winter and that they both "delight in manipulating those they can control." He pointed out that the film fails to portray how the prisoners manufacture the weapons and hide them under Winter's observation. It received 3 out of 5 stars on IGN; the review noted that though a well paced and well acted film, it "suffers from this overall militaristic, streamlined approach." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said the film's "pretensions lead to a slow, even stately pace, what should be crackling confrontations between Irwin and Winter end up playing more like a tea party than a Wagnerian battle of wills." Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the movie a "C-plus" grade, writing: "As staged by Lurie, the drama has all the subtlety and surprise of a showdown between the sissy-bully son of Captain Queeg and a hero who's like a fusion of Brubaker, Spartacus, and Norma Rae." Variety wrote: "Much of the potential dramatic juice has been drained out of The Last Castle, a disappointingly pedestrian prison meller that falls between stools artistically and politically." Claudia Puig of USA Today criticized the writing, citing "a losing battle with an implausible script." Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times wrote: "The movie is exuberant, strapping and obvious—a problem drama suffering from a steroid overdose." The Last Castle won the Taurus World Stunt Award for best fire stunt and was nominated for best aerial work and best stunt coordination sequence. Clifton Collins, Jr. was nominated for an ALMA Award in the "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture" category.

The Eastern Shore of Virginia, the southernmost tail of the sea-ray shaped Delmarva Peninsula that divides the Atlantic Ocean from the Chesapeake Bay, is not often touted in travel guides or in media. But it should be. The Eastern Shore doesn't have the party atmosphere of Virginia Beach to the south or the Big City culture of Baltimore to the north, but it is splendid in its own quiet and genuinely friendly way. Because the scale is so small here, everything is an intimate experience: from tour boats that only hold six guests to respected artists who talk to you while they paint. You come here to decompress, to slurp a Chincoteague Oyster washed down with acclaimed Chardonnay from its source, to sleep in an inn where caretakers actually take care of you. The Eastern Shore Tourism Commission really nails the personality of people and place. Its tagline? "You'll Love Our Nature." Here's my list of the top 10 things to do here: 1. Take Captain Dan's Sunset Boat Tour completely around the island of Chincoteague to see the wild ponies of Assateague. Feel the bracing sea breeze as you make your way around the most famous of Virginia's Eastern Shore barrier islands. On a 26 foot boat equipped for six guests, you'll see Chincoteague Oyster beds, shore birds, NASA's launch-site -- Wallop's Island, squat duck blinds, exceptional sunsets, and of course, the wild ponies that everyone hopes to find. Captain Dan has life-long knowledge of these waters combined with a knack for story telling, which makes for a very entertaining two to three hours. If he forgets, remind him to tell you about the time his group stumbled on a mare giving birth. Goosebump city. 2. Pop into The Museum of Chincoteague to see the "artfully preserved" (read: stuffed/taxidermied) Misty and her foal Stormy. In 1945, the acclaimed middle-school book, Misty of Chincoteague, brought international fame to this quiet little town, and most visitors are surprised to discover that Misty was a real beloved pony. Yes, she was, and, um, still is, as her eternal rest is now being spent in this appealing and wonderfully-curated local history museum. You'll find rare pairs of wild-fowl (also "artfully preserved"), Fire Department Fundraising quilts and other artifacts of barrier island life. 3. Watch a NASA Rocket Launch. Driving up the rural road from Route 13 to Chincoteague, you'll see an abundance of massive satellite dishes: certainly not the pastoral low-tech pony-rich landscape you were expecting. Established in 1945, Wallops Island is one of the world's oldest rocket launch sites, and much of the area is now base to NASA's Suborbital Vehicle activities. Time it right and you'll witness a payload heading up to the International Space Station in all of its "bone-jarring sound and majesty." For launch dates, go to www.nasa.gov/wallops . 4. Pick up a bottle of Chincoteague Wild Pony Blanc at the well-stocked Wine, Cheese and More, Chincoteague. Delightful shop owner Catherine Mikel recommends other wines from around the globe in addition to gourmet food, premium cigars and everything you need for a DIY gourmet meal. Now, what wine goes best with a Rocket Launch? 5. Eat at Woody's Beach BBQ and Eatery, Chincoteague. Don't dismiss this slightly dilapidated but whimsical outdoor barbeque shack of a place as just another tourist trap. The owners of Woody's are foodies through and through, passing off a variety of inventive sandwiches as well as pork and seafood dishes as common roadside fare. Go for The Clipper: chicken, pork, "bacon jam," slaw and rum sauce for $8.99. Uncommonly good. 6. Stay at the Channel Bass Inn, Chincoteague. While many people overnight in one of the chain hotels that line the inlet between Chincoteague and the mainland, those looking for a more personal, European-style, hug-at-arrival, exceptional breakfast B&B will want to reserve a quilted bed at the Channel Bass Inn. Not only is Barbara Wiedenheft one of the warmest inn-owners on the planet, but she also makes impressively delicious scones from scratch each day for afternoon tea. Join her and her husband, David ($23, $12 for overnight guests), and I dare you to eat just one. (If you can't be there in the afternoon, ask Barbara to make a batch for breakfast. She'll be happy to comply). 7"Paddle Your Glass Off:" Kayak to Chatham Vineyards from Onancock for a one of a kind Vineyard and Wine-tasting tour. Yes, you read this correctly. Wedged into a sea kayak, you'll float and paddle on Chesapeake Bay inlets, around spellbinding coves and then pull out at one of the premier wineries in Virginia - Chatham Vineyards. Known for its Steel Chardonnays (Wine Enthusiast listed Chatham Vineyard Chardonnay among the best 100 in the country), Chatham Vineyards was established by young second generation vintner, Jon Wehner, who grew up on his parent's vineyard in Northern Virginia. He and his wife, Mills, chose the Eastern Shore for its moderate maritime weather, and sandy loam soils - the perfect region to grow Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes. There's nothing more satisfying than a panoramic paddle and a sip of wine to top it off. 8. Stay at the elegant Inn at Onancock. Rambling Victorian on the outside, sleek, unfussy style within, this Select Registry Inn is one of the biggest and nicest surprises on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Lisa LaMontagne, who owns the Inn with her husband Chris, was a professional chef for 12 years and brings her fastidious skills to the massive cook's kitchen (where she also runs cooking classes for locals). The complementary and really fun "Wine Down" hour each afternoon, which features an assortment of wines and Lisa's hand-made appetizers, turns the Inn into a convivial "salon" - you'll never know who you will meet or the poignant stories you'll hear. Sitting together for the morning meal - frittatas, from-scratch granola, omelets and other dishes in an upscale dining room - is yet another opportunity to converse with other guests. In this age of soulless touch-and-go tourism, places like the Inn at Onancock allow for gratifying interaction and cultural immersion. Even if the culture is our own. 9. Shop the Mom and Pop's on Onancock's Main Street: Red Queen Gallery for antique "sea-glass Coke bottle" pencil holders, and contemporary arts and crafts, Marker 29 Design for unique gifts, personalized monogramming and reasonable prices, Crockett Gallery, where local landscape artist, Willie Crocket sells oils starting at the unbelievable $350 - and that includes the frame, Market St. Antiques for antiques and architectural salvage, and North Street Market for all manner of extravagant foodstuffs, including a colorful selection of salts from around the world. 10. Visit the Barrier Island Center. Known as "Nature's Speed bumps" because they mitigate hazardous swells created by Atlantic Ocean storms, some of the barrier islands off the Atlantic Coast once featured popular resorts, hunting clubs, and self-sufficient full-time residents. But after major storms in 1933 destroyed homes and endangered lives, islanders gave up this way of life and actually floated whole houses off the island to the Eastern Shore where they were relatively safe. The Barrier Island Center was built to keep these memories and artifacts where they belong. You'll find remnants from that easygoing, resourceful, close-knit, natural approach to life throughout the center as well as a rare "twisted chimney" in the attic. To learn more about this vanished culture watch the PBS documentary, "Our Island Home."
