Really Great
One of the earliest of films to focus on the re-adjustment of servicemen to civilian lives – Best Years gives it two us from 3 angles: Disenchanted well-to-do banker; Working stiff who can’t hold down his job or his marriage; and a poor guy who lost both his hands and mired in self doubt. Th…

Very Good
Turns out the French Resistance wasn’t entirely French, with the Nazis dubbing one largely foreign group The Army of Crime. More legitimately known as the Manouchian Group, they were spectacularly effective in metro Paris during 1943, a feat inadvertently highlighted by the Nazi propaganda pos…

In the US, not much is understood about the Soviet war in Afghanistan. This movie follows new recruits as they are thrust in to the bloody, dirty mess. It seems they picked the craziest mo-fo’s for Afghanistan though — at least that’s the impression you get watching. The fighting starts out …

Barely OK
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…

Who would have thought such a simple story about a military escort of a fallen soldier could have been so moving. Taking Chance is a perfect example of how a true story can affect you so much more than any fiction. The acts of care, courtesy, and honor were mezmerizing, and the character and st…

Good
Another war movie that tries to impart the senselessness of it all. Similar to some other war movies, this film focuses on the difficult adjustment that soldiers have to make when back from the battlefield. Tortured minds haunted and all that. This time, a band of friends all from the same home-t…

This French film follows a tried-and-true theme: Tough military commandos make the big rescue. In this case the rescue of a very pretty French journalist who is inexplicably running around in Afghanistan only to be captured by a crazed Taliban leader. Films like this rarely have to have a stor…
