Son of God had the potential to be an Easter season blockbuster,but instead – it mostly fell flat. Instead of big-screen immersion, you get a made-for-TV feel. Instead of Jesus as a dynamic, powerful presence – you get a wimpy, almost icky man. Instead of a sense of good and evil, you get this… |

Zero Motivation is a loafer’s view of army life, as embodied by the worst unit in the Israeli Army. Some girls just aren’t army-material, but that hardly matters in a country with universal service requirements. Instead of F-Troop, think *G-Tr…

Decent, albeit run-of-the-mill war movie set in Iraq. You’ll get the requisite hard fighting action and the tough staff sergeant, and the film does a good job highlighting the turnaround and eventual wisdom from a reluctant soldier. If you are a war movie lover, it won’t be a waste of time. If no… |

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…
