War Pigs
Good 17 Points 2015

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.

Great 17 Points 2015

If you liked ‘Sniper’, this is a sniper you’ll want to see. It is worth sticking out the subtitles for this great story about Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the most successful female sniper in history. This is a Bio-Drama war flick, so you’ll be highly engaged as you follow her story as war forces her t…

OK 17 Points 2015

Bicycle troops against invading Germans? The equipment, including the machine guns mounted to motorcycle side cars seemed comically inadequate. It’s easy to make fun of the circumstances, but apparently this is a serious tale of bravery and heroism to the Danes.

Good Kill
Really Great 83 Points 2015

Obama’s War on Terror comes alive in Good Kill. Set in 2010, after the second POTUS to prosecute the Islamist War dramatically escalated drone warfare, it unflinchingly portrays the toll on airmen and their families from a new kind of combat in an incompetently defined war. Albeit fictional, it…

The Monuments Men
OK 17 Points 2014

Instead of a serious “Saving Private Ryan” we get a semi-humorous “Saving Claude Monet”. 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…

OK 17 Points 2014

Standard war movie fare:  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.

The Water Diviner
Great 17 Points 2014

Russell Crowe’s directorial debut is a hit. Not only does he shine as the dramatic star, but he captures the compelling story of a father’s somber journey to find and bury his sons after the bloody battle of Gallipoli. Enjoy the historical references, the drama, and the adventure. Great stuff.
