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…

Battle of Britain

– 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…

OK
An interesting look at a small group of American escaped prisoners who struggle through Germans and elements in the Ardennes to get back to Allied lines with invaluable information. Anyone familiar with the series “Band of Brothers†will enjoy this film, which was largely done in the same st…

Aces High
|
BrianSez
– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
OK
Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines – as the phrase went back in the day. Magnificent indeed, but also jaded, troubled, and struggling with the fact that so little of them ever make it through WWI sotries alive. Aces High takes a soft-pedal (well, soft for a 70’s movie anyway) look a…

This dramatic yarn is loosely based on Rudyard Kipling’s poem “My Boy Jack.†In WWI, Rudyard’s jingoistic enthusiasm pushes his son in to war, only to wind up as so many did – missing in action. The film follows the entrance to the war and the emotional search by his parents. The fil…

American Son

BrianSez
– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
OK
A war movie that isn’t really about war – but instead is a coming of age drama about a young man on a 96 hour leave before his deployment to Iraq. Filled with drama that comes from confronting the past – a punk kid life in Bakersfield – and the future: responsible behavior, a beautiful n…

OK
A movie that tries to make a political statement via fast paced war action infused with spy vs spy espionage thriller. While fun to watch and very entertaining to the war/action/thriller crowd, the story itself comes across a bit contrived for the setting. We all know that something is amiss in…

The Eagle
|
Wick
– with 66 Trust Points – rated it
OK
Cravenly exploitative and sporting a bad title, The Eagle mostly lays an egg. While it’s kinda worth watching for hard-bitten war movie guys, slumming history buffs should steer clear. As one of those stories that starts where the legend leaves off, the history is tripe. Fortunately the prod…
