War Pigs
 Good 17 Points 2015
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Good

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.

Windtalkers
 Good 17 Points 2002
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Good

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-…

The Big Red One
 Good 17 Points 1980
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Good

Retro style War movie with a bit of irreverence to make it popular for 1980’s movie goers. It is sure-fire entertainment for war movie buffs, with a subtle sarcasm and left-field humor that gives it a broader appeal. A few deep scenes reminds you that war sometimes has a valid purpose.

The Diary of An...
 Good 17 Points 2009
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Good

This is the famous WWII tale of Anne Frank and her family and friends, who hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic for 2 years. In this version, Ellie Kendrick does a great job as the vocal, inquisitive teenager who except for the circumstances is like any normal 13 year old. Even if you are al…

Memphis Belle
 OK 17 Points 1990
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…

Fortress
 OK 17 Points 2012
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it OK

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 …

Battle of Britain
 OK 17 Points 1969
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it 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…

The Monuments Men
 OK 17 Points 2014
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it OK

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…
