My Thoughts:
This is another movie out of the Mortuary of Madness boxset. after that last one I watched from it I am a little leery of watching another from the set. But then there has been a few here that I did enjoy so figured time to chance another one. I am glad I picked this one to watch... as while I have seen better... this one is pretty good. I enjoyed both stories featured in this Anthology.

Crisis: Behind a Presidential Commitment, a review by Antares

Crisis: Behind a Presidential Commitment (1963) 75/100 - The fly on the wall method in which this was shot makes it compelling, but when all is said and done, it is kind of anti-climactic. The one piece of film you want to see is Wallace stepping out of the way after being confronted by the Alabama National Guard general, whose troops had just been nationalized by the president. Instead, we hear, by way of a third party telephone call, what has taken place. I've seen film of that moment before, I don't know why they chose not to use it in this film. If you know nothing about this famous incident at the University of Alabama, then this short documentary will do the job. But I think it could have been done better.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

This episode introduces Karofsky, one of the biggest bullies of the school, who will get an important storyline in the second season.

Notable music:
Will Schuster is rapping twice. Nothing special.
This episode has also Puck's first solo song. He is clearly a much better singer than Finn.
