Real to Real: World War II in Film, Documentaries & Newsreels

Thursday, April 10, 2008

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 Second International... »

Tropic Thunder Trailer

Monday, March 17, 2008

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. »

EW on “Rambo”

Monday, January 28, 2008

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... »

War Movies Are Bad For You?

Friday, December 7, 2007

Hm, not sure what to make of this, as I've been steadily digesting war movies now for almost a year (and not so steadily for most of my life) and haven't found myself on any berzerker rampages yet....  but correlation makes for good news, so here it is: In a paper in the Dec.... »

Rambo – The Trailer

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Man, the last twenty years have not been kind to ol' John.  He's a little bitter, even more than usual, don't you think?  Check this out.  Maybe this won't be as ridiculous as the premise sounds.... Although, jeez, the meat-grinder business might be a bit much!!! Technorati Tags: john rambo, trailer, war movie news »

God and Country

Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Hmm, might this be a refreshing new twist in the latest round of "America sux0rs" trend of war movies?  I'll have to find out once it's released.  Of course the danger is that this swings the other way, because nothing's ever as simple as black and white is it.  Reserving final judgement for after... »

First Look at Rambo IV

Thursday, November 15, 2007

Although the premise of a disillusioned and even-more-pissed Rambo is somewhat intriguing, I'm still skeptical of the film's overall premise.  Can they pull it off? "He realizes his entire existence has been for naught," Stallone says. "Peace is an accident, war is natural. Old men start it, young men fight it, everybody in the... »

Redacted on HDNet Movies Tonight

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Almost forgot!  Brian DePalma's controversial look at Iraq, Redacted will air tonight on HDNet Movies.  Tonight *only* as far as I know.  Once at 10:15 ET and again at 12:00am ET.  Set your DVRs for stun. I'll hopefully be able to watch the first airing, and with any luck will have a review up... »

First Look at the ‘Valkyrie’ Trailer

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Well, the first trailer for Valkyrie is out. And the initial reaction is not good. At least not from the EW staff... Tom Cruise's latest flick, Valkyrie, is set in Nazi Germany, and it's not a comedy, so why does its new trailer (embedded below, or streaming in a higher-quality clip at Yahoo) leave... »

Stop-Loss

Sunday, November 11, 2007

I was informed of an upcoming movie from Paramount/Dreamworks... Stop-Loss.  Looks like it might be good.  Of course one of the sh*ttier policies of today's military is that once you're finished with your tour, guess what? You're not.  Hence "Stop-Loss." Check out the trailer, and visit the site and it's 'soundoff' section. I'm not... »
