The movie is an interesting ‘pat ourselves on the back’ action film focusing on the team that got “Geronimoâ€. Unfortunately, it was pretty badly done, from the lackluster acting, to the haphazard story buildup. The best part was the action sequences of the raid itself, but even that was s…

Bruce Willis leads his Navy Seal team through a dense jungle, and a murky script, in this war/action/thriller film. Willis plays Lt. A.K. Waters, who is forced to choose between obeying his mission orders to rescue a group of American citizens from civil war in the jungles of Nigeria, or lead a g…

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… |

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… |

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… |

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… |

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…

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…
