War Movies about the current war in Iraq
Battle For Haditha (2007)
Battle for Haditha is a faux-documentary-style movie based on a true event, the November 2005 'retribution' attack on a group of Iraqi civilians after an IED attack. It really isn't *that* bad of a movie, but quite frankly, it just pissed me off... bigtime. The first part of the movie is just build up... »
Green Zone (2010)
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 Men Who Stare At Goats (2009)
The Men Who Stare At Goats (2009) The Men Who Stare At Goats is, for the most part, a pretty damn funny movie. For the most part. Mediocre newspaper reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) stumbles across a "loser" who claims to have been a part of an drug-fest army "psych" experiment. Later, while trying... »
Generation Kill (2008)
I finally got around to watching all my DVR'd episodes of HBO's Generation Kill, based on the writings of Rolling Stone reporter Evan Wright about his embedding with the 1st Marine Recon Battalion in the first days of the Iraq invasion. I have to say, Generation Kill is a great look at the ins-and-outs... »
Stop-Loss (2008)
When you go into a movie expecting less, and wind up getting way more, that's usually a good thing (I need to start watching every film this way!) and Stop-Loss is no exception. Honestly, from what I'd heard I was expecting a Redacted-style bash-fest. Thank God that's not what I found. Stop-Loss is a... »
In The Valley of Elah (2007)
As we learn in the film, in the Biblical parlance, the Valley of Elah is where the infamous battle between David and Goliath took place. I'm not exactly sure what the relevance of that to the movie, In The Valley of Elah is, except maybe in reference to the main character, Hank Deerfield (Tommy... »
Delta Farce (2007)
Um. Why did I even bother? Seriously. Delta Farce is a supposed comedy from the "masterminds" behind the Blue Collar Comedy(cough) tour folks. Namely Larry "The Cable Guy", Bill Engvall, and that skinny annoying guy whose name I can't remember (DJ Qualls, had to look it up.) In it these three idiot hillbillies somehow... »
Lions For Lambs (2007)
Honestly, I was somewhat dreading going into Lions For Lambs. From all the buzz I read and heard, I was expecting a wholesale administration-bashing political commentary from the Hollywood contingent on the war in Iraq. I was wrong. Well, sort of. The expected bashing of the current policies which has led us to the... »
The Four Horsemen (2007)
The Iraq war has certainly brought about a turning point in the way Hollywood approaches the typical war movie. From the pointless wailing of Redacted, to the countless documentaries, and then odd little films such as The Four Horsemen. The Four Horsemen refers to a group of four guys, who gave themselves the moniker... »
Redacted (2007)
Wow. I'd like to thank Brian DePalma for the experience that was Redacted. I can really say I am totally blown away. ...Blown away at just how completely awful this movie is. There aren't words to describe the awfulness that is this... this thing. I'm not even sure where to start. But that's not... »
