United 93 takes place the day a tragedy occurred, September 11, 2001. It seems like a normal day to everyone. No one has any idea how big of an impact this day will have. At first everything goes as scheduled through the airlines. However, those who monitor the airplanes do become suspicious. The… |

The Hollywood action movie treatment gets applied to Islamist terrorism in the center of Arabian Oil power in The Kingdom. The result is an entertaining and enlightening show that has more than enough relevance to raise it above run-of-the-mill popcorn fare. Several mainstream media critic… |

This was a fantastic movie. At first it seemed that it would be not much more than a detective yarn with a military twist, but it became much more. It exposes the human drama of loss, pain, the will and determination to seek truth, how war twists us all, coping,just how complicated … |

Good bro goes to war, Bad bro stays home and looks after good bro’s family – em, maybe a little too well? Brothers has a great cast and a story that probably resonates with many, but unfortunately comes across a bit disjoint in execution as it tries to be both a drama and a war movie at the same… |
