![]() A true story about Max Manus, a famous Norwegian resistance fighter. He and his band would do anything they could to thwart the Nazi machine. From vandalism and writing illegal newspapers to being trained as a saboteur and being dropped in behind enemy lines to wreak havoc. And wreak havoc they… |

![]() Two movies in one – the demented story of a badass junkie and the inspiring story of an avenging angel. Both are about the same guy, Sam Childers, an American biker who has saved and continues to save hundreds of otherwise doomed Sudanese kids. As a kickass movie about a real guy trying to stop…

![]() Hail The Conquering Hero is a welcome stop on the Tour de Sturges, even if not one of the best. The Greatest Generation dealt with challenge differently than we 2nd Millenniums do, to put it mildly. Preston Sturges made Hail The Conquering Hero during World War II, right after the Marines…

![]() A bit of 1970’s style irreverence tells the story of a rogue band of US soldiers who take advantage of the war in France to go for some cash. The best part of the movie are the cast of characters who (well maybe except for Clint Eastwood) really ham it up: Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Su… |

![]() 300: Rise of an Empire is Greek history through a fantasy lens darkly, prequel and sequel to the ‘06 hit about King Leonidas and his band of 300. The new movie’s nearly 4x Reality factor stems from Frank Miller’s graphic novel, full of vainglorious liberties, supernatural contrivances and hist…

![]() So, apparently Canadians were in Afghanistan as well. Hyena road is a highly entertaining hodgepodge of intense fighting, espionage, politics, and even a love affair thrown in. Although the Canadians are known for their cool, Hyena doesn’t hold back on the intense fighting and gruesome details,… |

![]() Ang Lee mixes impactful flashbacks and the surreal present of Billy Lynn and his squad’s PR tour back home. The movie’s message points out the disingenuousness of the average American’s feigned support of our fighting men and women, which is why I loved Ang’s use of the flashback to snap us all b… |

![]() An Aussie farm boy with amazing marksmanship skills (learned at the expense of kangaroos), goes on to be decorated for valor at Gallipoli fighting with his brother and cousin. That’s enough of a story, but William Kelly’s War is just getting started. One thing you don’t want to do is be poacher… |

![]() Brad Pitt stars in this unique combination of wartime comedy and drama. Although the critics panned the film, I loved the comedic look at Obama’s wartime politics and hope that a charismatic general can solve a failed foreign policy. This isn’t just a political comedy thank goodness. Pitt was gr… |

![]() This is a damn good Iraq War movie, apolitical and told through the eyes of Marines who walked through the sands of hell. Plus, it’s a great Marine Corps movie overall. So why did it flame out at the theaters? Start with the bad title. Megan Leavey is easy to say once you hear it, but is kin…
