Invictus means unconquered. The poem of that name, by 19th century Scotsman William Ernest Hensley, is said to be Nelson Mandelas favorite. As the title of Clint Eastwoods new film, which opened last week in the U.S., the word has a dual significance. Mandela, played to perfection by Morgan Freeman, claims that it helped carry him through his 27 years of incarceration at the hands of the Apartheid. When Mandela writes out the verses and...

Clint Eastwood is unlikely to be the director who would come to mind for a movie about Nelson Mandela getting behind the underdog South African rugby team – as a healing measure after apartheid – for the World Cup held in South Africa in 1995.

Monday: Men of a Certain Age
When it comes to original programming, TNT hasn't fared nearly as well as fellow cable netlet USA. That's because whereas the latter channel has succeeded by matching high concept fluffiness (Burn Notice, Royal Pains, White Collar) with up and coming actors (Jeffrey Donovan, Mark Feuerstein and Matthew Bomer), TNT relies on worn out genre templates and formerly big names. So we get shows like this summer's D.O.A....

Just watched the movie "Invictus" produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the South African rugby team captain. I thoroughly enjoyed the film. I also wanted to read the entire poem, "Invictus" and find out more about Nelson Mandela, his 27 years in prison and what he did to deserve such a severe sentence. The CIA had a hand in his arrest in 1962 and by my...

When you attend a movie directed by Clint Eastwood (“Gran Torino,” “Letters from Iwo Jima,” “Million Dollar Baby” and “Mystic River”), you feel like you are in the presence of greatness.
Eastwood, 79, explores the subject of racism in this inspiring true story revolving around the sport of rugby and the Victorian-era titular poem.

Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon are great, but Eastwood's 'Invictus' is less than the sum of their parts. Some movies are impervious to criticism. Their true-life stories are so inspirational, so extraordinary, so much stranger than fiction, that quibbling over the way they've been presented doesn't seem to serve much purpose. Luckily for Clint Eastwood, such stories are also largely impervious to poor storytelling. His Invictus hits all the...

As a star, Clint Eastwood is one of cinema's most iconic tough guys. However, it's arguably as a director that he's made a bigger impact on the movies. Since his debut in 1971, Eastwood has never been afraid to take chances, to jump genres, or to take a close look at the moral complexities of being human. And it's not unfair to say that Eastwood has made some of the very best pictures of his career in his August years. His latest, Invictus...

PUBLICITY PHOTOWith one of my acting gods, Morgan Freeman, playing one of my political gods, Nelson Mandela, Invictus couldn't help being a spiritual experience for me.

Clint Eastwood's latest is a sports film less about what's on the playing field than what's happening in the stands.

There are dozens of titles available for immediate viewing with no gimmicks attached - except they have inserted periodic ads that you can't fast forward through. Most of the films are obscure, B movies of recent vintage, but there are some gems including the Eastwood/Leone Dollars trilogy, the 1967 James Bond spoof Casino Royale and the acclaimed...

Capsule reviews of films opening this week:"Invictus" - Clint Eastwood's latest is a sports film less about what's on the playing field than what's happening in the stands. It's the story of South Africa's sea change under Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) told through the unlikely prism of sport. It comes off like a case study in leadership, perhaps a bit clinical and limited, but still deeply revealing. When Mandela takes office in 1994, he...

"Invictus" (PG-13, 134 minutes). Strange, that the first of many proposed biopics about Nelson Mandela centers on the South African rugby team. Mandela took an intense interest in the Springbok's drive to an eventual World Cup championship, and it was a famous victory for the parish apartheid state. Here it is foregrounded, and who would have expected this film to be structured around who wins the big match? Yet Clint Eastwood has crafted a...

This Friday sees the release of the Clint Eastwood-directed Invictus , inspired by the life of Nelson Mandela, but filtered through a very specific incident during his time as President of South Africa. Based directly on the book, "Playing the Enemy" by John Carlin, the film deals with Mandela's role in the 1995 Rugby World Cup and how his support of a politically unpopular team helped strengthen his nation.

Clint Eastwood's soon-to-be-Oscar-nominated film Invictus opens nationwide today. In the movie, Eastwood takes on the daunting task of telling the story of the first few months of Nelson Mandela's South African presidency, including his struggle to get the country's black majority to rally around the nearly all-white Springboks national rugby team, in the hope that it would unite the nation. Mandela (played by Morgan Freeman) first made an...

In Invictus, Clint Eastwood conducts himself as he always does as a director: He hunkers down, gets rid of all extraneous flourishes and tells his story straight up. The result is earnest, admirable and more than a little dull -- a pedestrian movie about a remarkable subject.

Though the story is set in South Africa, Clint Eastwood’s Invictus is a hybrid of classic American forms, the triumphant sports movie and the high-minded political film. There is much to like in the film, and a fair amount one might dislike as well, but in the end one’s overall feelings are likely depend on one’s enthusiasm for these genres in general and for their peculiar marriage in this instance.
