Pretty Bad
Anger and pity suffuse this superficially sympathetic portrait of the US Army’s casualty notification service. GIs are uniformly depicted as damaged, deluded or destructive: those uninjured as much as the wounded. Families of the fallen are depicted as unsupportive of their loved one’s enlistment…

The Conspirator

Wick
– with 66 Trust Points – rated it
Pretty Bad
Pity poor Robert Redford. His desperate attempt to discredit 21st century military tribunals led him to craft a tortured courtroom drama that paints Lincoln’s killers as sympathetic victims of a tyrannical US government. Politics aside, The Conspirator proves hard to follow, uninvolving and o…

Max’s trailer promised more than the movie delivers. The story of a military dog who aides a teen’s coming-of-age, it pulls heartstrings and warms the heart in equal measure, especially for those of us with a soft-spot for the US military and dogs alike. That’s me, which is why I fell hard for …

OK
Standard war movie fare: Â A small group of jarheads against all odds, survive against the Taliban while carrying out an unlikely mission of having to rescue a local female political hero. Decent (albeit mindless) shoot-em-up entertainment is sometimes just what the Dr. ordered for war movie buffs.

Memphis Belle

BrianSez
– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
OK
A movie that follows the crew of the Memphis Belle — a WWII bomber smack in the middle of the risky allied daytime raids over Germany. There is nothing terribly special about the acting, but nothing terribly bad either. Just ‘Ok’. The story was intriguing — the movie focuses on the events le…

I’m on a roll with watching ‘B War Movies’ recently, so in that spirit I took a gander at Fortress. Fortress is a bit of a stretch. It seems to me that B17s were largely sitting ducks between the flack from below and the fly-by strafing from above. Numbers was the key to success, the more B17s …

OK
They don’t make war movies like this any more: primadonna stars rendering glamorous portrayals of gentlemanly air-boys, and acting that would be considered as being over the top. Battle of Britain is all of that, and I loved it. Marvelous old planes, awesome old aerial shots of the English co…
