Latest Tropic Thunder Trailer
The more of this I see, the more I want to see it. The beginning with the Platoon bit is great. This trailer is R-rated. So no YouTube for you! You’ll have to go to the official site for this one… Be warned, its a little grisly, and there’s some language. Hence... »
Mongol, in theaters June 6th
“Greatness comes to those who take it.” If you’re a fan of the medieval-style massive axe-and-sword-battle on horseback type of thing, the upcoming Mongol just might be up your alley. Looks like it may be a love story (sigh) wrapped up in a sort-of biographical war movie, so keep that in mind. Could... »

Son of Rambow
This curious little picture opens this weekend. I only mention it because it involves a young English boy whose mind is ‘blown open’ by watching Rambo: First Blood, the first movie he’s allowed to see. Unsure why they’d pick something like that, or how this will turn out. But it will likely be... »
Pinkville Update
Been a little while since I’ve heard any news on Oliver Stone’s upcoming ‘Pinkville’ film on the ‘68 My Lai Massacre… He still has a chance, especially if he takes the part of Lt. William Calley in Oliver Stone’s Pinkville. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s currently in talks for the role, and if he’s... »
Valkyrie: I’m Not Dead Yet!

Real to Real: World War II in Film, Documentaries & Newsreels
I’m always the last to know! This conference just started today, too bad there’s no way I could get to it, sounds *very* interesting… from the site: Films, documentaries and newsreels all played a pivotal role in how information and memories of World War II were recorded over the years. The Museum’s... »
Tropic Thunder Trailer
This could be just plain hilarious… Looks like a Vietnam war movie send up, starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Nick Nolte and a bunch more. “Shit blows up.” Gotta love it. Check out the sparse (for now) official website: Tropic Thunder Website, and the IMDB Entry. Share and Enjoy: »

In The Valley of Elah (2007) A career officer (Jones) and his wife (Sarandon) work with a police detective (Theron) to uncover the truth behind their son’s disappearance following his return from a tour of duty in Iraq. Redacted (2007) Meh. Redacted. Read my review of Redacted... »
EW on “Rambo”
Entertainment Weekly has psted their review of “Rambo.” Pretty short, but they do give it better than average marks, which does surprise me. Haven’t had a chance to see it yet (can’t get away!) This closing statement does give a little bit of hope that the old Rambo’s not dead yet…. The brutality, tough enough to... »
