Cool old school spooks and a get-it-done-against-all odds spook lawyer Tom Hanks; Tom is smooth and polished, a leader among men, brave and willing to do the undoable; great enough to move from lawyer to negotiator. Paired with some great acting from Mark Rylance and Alan Alda, a subtle humor th… |

Director Oliver Stone tried too hard with Alexander. It tried to be a monumental epic, but in the end just felt too long and drawn out, with too much inward facing drama and not enough about the battles between great armies and the politics it must have taken to conquer all those lands. It did h… |

Gritty, stressful, and suspenseful documentary of life in Afghanistan’s war zones. Well aided by dramatic narrative, shooting, and even music added to the suspense. But possibly the most impactful part of the movie is the closeness to the action that the father and son reporters were: down to … |

A very good story about WW II pilot volunteers to fight in Israel’s ‘Machal’ in its war for independence. This is as much a story about the history of the state of Israel as it is the Israeli air-force and the foreign volunteers that made it happen. Very interesting, including the creative and… |

An extraordinary story about the assassination of SS General Reinhard Heydrich – the butcher of Prague. This famous chapter in history has plenty of drama, suspense , and a shocking account of the Nazi treatment of both the innocent and the complicit. The resistance from the Czech and Slovaks … |

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… |

Inspired by true stories of courage of men who both impersonated Nazis and helped the Swiss extradite Jews from Hungary during the war. Yet another great story about little known heroes who saved thousands. |

Silence is a long and plodding film with plenty of forced drama from Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as Catholic missionaries returning to Japan to find their mentor (Liam Neeson) after his failed attempt at converting the Japanese to true Christianity. Scorcese pours it on with intense and rich… |
