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… |

One thing is for sure: There’s nothing tougher than a WWII South Pacific Jarhead. Spielberg and Hanks do an admirable job creating the Pacific version of ‘Band of Brothers’. The South Pacific version is much grittier and gut-wrenchingly raw. As someone commented in the movie – those Ar… |

One of the earliest of films to focus on the re-adjustment of servicemen to civilian lives – Best Years gives it two us from 3 angles: Disenchanted well-to-do banker; Working stiff who can’t hold down his job or his marriage; and a poor guy who lost both his hands and mired in self doubt. Th… |

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 … |

This made for TV movie follows a reluctant squad leader (the recognizable Ron Eldard) as he is spurred in to using his great instincts during the Nov. 1944 Battle of Hurtgen Forest as the allies pushed deeper in to Germany. The movie is intense, bloody, and highlights the greatest generation’s … |

While War Pigs is nothing spectacular, this fairly typical WWII film holds its own with other B players of the genre. Dolph Lundren an Mickey Rourke add some star power and the writers don’t copy old ideas too obviously. |

Nicolas Cage, the most versatile B-movie drama-king does all things Nick as a marine assigned to protect a Navajo code talker (Adam Beach). As expected, there were tons of overly-dramatic “war is hell” action scenes and moments of personal drama. The level of cheese did not turn away this war-… |

Nicolas Cage stars in the remarkable story of Captain Charles Butler McVay, who commanded the USS Indianapolis during WWII in the Pacific. The Indianapolis was known for its final mission of secretly delivering components of the atomic bomb to Tinian. On its way to Guam it was torpedoed and su… |

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… |

Instead of a serious “Saving Private Ryan†we get a semi-humorous “Saving Claude Monetâ€. The story is decent, send in a platoon of art experts to save the world’s gems from Nazi tyranny. However the execution is “meh.†With a cast like the one presented, I expected more in the com… |
