Radio Bikini is a short documentary that explores the “able” and “baker” nuclear weapons tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946.  Actually the movie is sort of a two-fold documentary. One part examines the “takeover” of the atoll by American forces and the subsequent “relocation” of the native peoples.  Basically they fed them a bunch of... »

Tigerland.  The title refers to an “immersion” style boot camp training ground where new Army infantry recruits were sent before they boarded that plane to Vietnam.  But the film’s focus is merely leading up to that. The thing is, by 1971, everyone knows the war is pointless, and especially so everyone who’s found themselves here. ... »

In much the same vein as “The Red Baron,” we bring you “The Blue Max.”  A tale from the novel by the same name from Jack Hunter. The story follows one Bruno Stachel (George Peppard) as he makes his way from the German infantry in The Big One up to a Lt. in the Luftwaffe. ... »

Yeah, there were no WMD’s in Iraq.  And we pretty much know why, and why we thought there were.  Green Zone attempts to, well, I dunno, explain a bit of that?  Maybe.  I think.  At least Chief Miller (Matt Damon) and “spook” Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson) want to, while other elements in “spook” Poundstone’s... »

The Battle of the Bulge, December 1944.  Movies have tried and failed (the aptly named but poorly executed Battle of the Bulge) and succeeded (Band of Brothers, countless others)….  But few manage to combine the two into a wildly excellent, yet kind of disappointing picture such as Battleground. What do I mean?  Well, let’s get... »

Yeah, sometimes you just have to kick back, and take in the classics for what they are.  That is to say, undeniable products of their time.  1943’s Destination Tokyo is definitely one of those films. I’d go as far as saying that Destination Tokyo is one of the prime examples of your typical US wartime... »

Toho Studio’s 1971 epic The Battle of Okinawa is definitely an, um, interesting piece of film.  A telling of the last major “battle” (if you want to call it that) of the Pacific War, the invasion of Okinawa in 1945, from the Japanese perspective. Now, I’m going to go out on a limb and try... »

Supposedly making big waves in Hawaii this summer, and in Korea, is the Korean War story, 71: Into the Fire.  It’s about 71 college students who are told to hold the line against the advancing North Koreans. From the trailer, It looks to have a lot of, um, John Woo-”action movie” styled moments and well... »

Not to poo-poo yet another remake, let alone a remake of a film that really doesn’t need to be remade, the 1930 classic All Quiet on the Western Front will get the treatment.  And the lead role?  Expect to see Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe take the lead spot as the young German infantryman cast... »

Again, always the last to know. sigh.  Anyway, this looks interesting, can’t wait to get a chance to see it.  Probably won’t be til it hits disc but looking forward to it just the same.  Guess this means I’ll have to add a new category as well! From IMDB: Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington’s year dug... »
