SatUj Sar Mwl ~ i \ f?s■■. v. fw ij" ' w 1 fW w Mel Gibson leads the South Carolina colonial militia as Benjamin Martin in the new epic "The Patriot," which is set during the Revolutionary War. Twenty-one year-old newcomer Heath Ledger, left, plays his eldest son. Seabrook Debut Full of Heartache Justin Winters Arts & Entertainment Editor With his self-titled debut album, Tar Heel alum Wil Seabrook stakes a claim to replace Edwin McCain as the lonely heart singer-songwriter whose music is sure to set females hearts aflutter with his slow songs of heartbreak. Now, that’s not bad per se, but one listen to Seabrook’s first CD and one might either call the guy to cheer CD Review Wil Seabrook Wil Seabrook iff him up or recommend a good therapist. The guy sounds like he’s been through the relationship wringer a few times. It’s kind of like Seabrook is the male equivalent of a nicer Alanis Morrisette in her early hate-filled days, which after translated, means the guy has promise. With his boyish good looks and unique singing style, Seabrook does set himself apart from other balladeers in the music world who declare they’ve been wronged by so many gals that they have no hair and a whiny-voiced tone.

Seabrook, who wrote a great deal of the lyrics and music on the album, injects the first song with sly ref erences to the pretentious side of fame. Similarly, songs such as the Beckish “Is a Smile” and soul-filled “Special,” with their catchy hooks and samples, make the first half of the album an enjoyable listen. They make you under stand why Seabrook has gone Hollywood. Seabrook’s cover of the Motown favorite “My Girl” gets cool points for being different, but the end product just doesn’t go well with the rest of the album. Seabrook has the skills to write his own stuff, so he doesn’t have to ask Smoky Robinson for permission. Unfortunately, the remainder of the songs, such as so-so “So Much” and the wordy “Deny,” leave the listener wish ing for a few more songs which cause you to bounce in your seat a little. With every song sounding the same, not one sticks out over the second half of the album. By the final song, “Your Life’s Not Here,” I wasn’t there.

The war rages on, with the colonists suffering terrible loss es in the South, until one man, “The Patriot” leads his militia into victory. “The Patriot” presents the unglam orous side of war: young frightened boys who die for a cause they don’t understand, the brutal murder of inno cents and families that are tom apart.

The vio lent battle scenes are almost on par with the opening sequences of “Saving Private Ryan,” with decapitations and maiming taking the foreground in many scenes. With the help of special effects, a cannonball appears to be fired direct ly into the front rows of the audience, but connects first with the head of an American soldier. While the film is sim ply too long to maintain the edge-of-the seat intensity it begins with, the constant shock of gunshots and cannons is enough to guarantee jittery nerves. The battles are, however impressive, merely a backdrop for the story of Benjamin Martin, the reluctant leader of the South Carolina colonial militia. Played by Mel Gibson, Martin is a for mer war hero who wants to remain in peace to raise his motherless children. When the Revolutionary War sud denly springs up in his front yard and claims the life of his son, Martin dusts off his soldier’s uniform to save the day. Poor Gibson seems to suffer from cfmoc.iNfl “THE PERFECT FILIVir 7:10, 9:45, Sat., Sun, I:4s^2^^^^ 7:10. 9:30, Sat., Sun. 2:10. 4:30 ViwuallY brilliant!

Both men have an affection for extracting brutal revenge and a penchant for rallying the troops, on horseback, with a flag and a cry of freedom. “The Patriot” strives for epic stand ing but shoots too far. The movie is sim; ply over-the-top in every aspect. The dialogue is too saccharine and melodra matic, the battle scenes too perfectly staged and the characters too one-sided for believability.
