The Last Samurai
Very Good 83 Points 2003

Well produced Tom Cruise historical epic, appealing to those of us who like such entertainments. As he so often does, Cruise plays a character at once naive and smug, who reveals an admirable steeliness by the third reel.

Tears Of The Sun
Barely OK 5 Points 2003

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…

Very Good 83 Points 2003

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…

Ultimate naval warfare movie, thy name is Master and Commander. It’s got everything: broadside cannon battles, flogging and grogging, close observation of life aboard an early 19th Century warship, mast-top ocean views, even visits to the Galápagos Islands. Ahoy.

Oh yeah, then there’s that…

Very Good 17 Points 2004

Its not often you get to see a mainstream actor in a mythic/period piece such as this, and Brad “I will look down upon your corpse and smile” Pitt doesn’t disappoint as the invulnerable Achillies. How cool is watching him take down worthy opponents with deft jumps and swift swings of his sword? …

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 …
