Looking good!  A couple of physically impossible moments (check out that stall!) and it looks like Lucas' affinity for establishing/wide CG shots shines through....  but I'm looking forward to it.   »

That time again!  Time to thank those who served our country and remember those who didn't make it back.  This year 11/11 falls on a Friday, so there should be some good marathons going on. The Fox Movie Channel steps up with an entire page outlining their contribution!  Titles include: Stars and Stripes Forever,... »

Quite frankly, this is the best, most brutal, most gut-wrenching war movie I've seen in a long, long time.  City of Life and Death is everything Schindler's List could have been, should have been, and more. The short version: City of Life and Death is a condensation of the 1937 "Rape of Nanking" in... »

First I've heard of this project, but it sounds like a cross between those Beowulf/Final Fantasy CG type of movies, with a healthy dose of Avatar and a whole lot of "yeeeeah, I dunno guys" sprinkled on top....  An interesting premise, but if it doesn't translate well back into 2-D (as in home video),... »

Much like the incredible Restrepo, Armadillo puts you right in the middle of the war in Afghanistan.  Only this time we go with a group of recruits from Denmark. This is a pretty undefinable little film.  It departs significantly at times from the usual documentary format.  In fact, at times you will (at least... »

Questar's new DVD box-set, The Road to World War II, is an overdue re-release (with additions) of a 1970's television series which explored the time period between World War I, and World War II, with the notion of examining events "Between the Wars" (its original title.)  It examines how the events of WWI and... »

An interesting premise, and one that the Japanese already played out a while ago in "GI Samurai," and in such classics as "The Final Countdown"....   Could a (more) modern army of smaller size with superior weapons defeat a historically superior force? Rome Sweet Rome is apparently an internet "snowball" that looks at what could... »

Hm.  A film based on the "Call of Duty" video games, starring real Navy SEALS....  Can't seem to find a story line at the moment, other than a "covert operation" (like you didn't see that coming.)  But I'm not sure it matters. official website: http://actofvalor.com/ »

Finally got a chance to sit down with "The Bomber," and although I had to watch it in segments over the busy weekend (its three hours long!) I'm glad I did. Short version:  Russian Bomber pilot Andrei Grivstov (Nikia Efremoy) is shot down over German territory, along with his love and radio operator Katia... »

If, like me, you were alive in 1986, and of movie-going age, you've seen Top Gun.  Probably several times.  You probably used a few of the one-liners at some point, whether you realized it or not.  It was a pivotal blockbuster of the day, and I'd even say it has become a part of... »

An interesting tidbit crossed my wire this morning. The family of Erwin Rommel is apparently none too happy with the portrayal of "The Desert Fox" in an upcoming film.... ...his family, including his 82-year-old son, former Stuttgart mayor Manfred Rommel, believe he is being portrayed wrongly in the film. In a letter to SWR... »
