War Movies which don’t fit into any other category
Armadillo (2010)
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... »
First Look at “Act of Valor”
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/ »
Ironclad (2011)
Ah, medieval England. King John has declared the Magna Carta invalid and has gone on a mission of conquest across the land to reclaim his keeps from the peoples. Or at least that's the version portrayed here. Just to get this out in the open, this movie is (very) loosely based on the Siege... »
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Aw, yeah. So what if its "yet another comic book movie?" Captain America is just a whole lot of old fashioned fantasy fun. Of course setting it against the backdrop of WWII doesn't hurt things either, and gets it a spot on the old WMB, too! The backstory: 98-pound weakling Steve Rogers gets tapped... »
Renny Harlin on ’5 Days of War’
Argh. Always the last to know! Again! (Well, I did report briefly on this back in 2009, but never heard anything since!) Renny Harlin was interviewed by "Den of Geek" regarding his movie "5 Days of War" (or 5 Days of August) which is supposedly out on DVD and Blu Ray. I don't see... »
Gray Lady Down (1978)
The phrase "Gray Lady Down", at least according to the movie of the same name, refers to the situation where a nuclear submarine has sank. (sunk? sunken? sinked? ah, heck.) Here, the Neptune, helmed by Captain Blanchard (Charlton Heston) collides with another ship in an unfortunate accident, and finds herself at the bottom of... »
Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia (2009)
In this straight-to-video (I think) release, Seal Team Seven (one better than team six dontcha know) gets caught up in a power grab in Colombia. I'll keep this one short, as there's not a lot to talk about, really. Take some lesser-known actors, add a dash of Rambo, the A-Team, WWE wrestler "Mr. Kennedy,"... »
Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Take equal parts Black Hawk Down and Cloverfield, mix in elements from District 9, Aliens, War of the Worlds, The Phantom Menace, any FPS video game, and Independence Day, and you get this years sci-fi war movie, Battle: Los Angeles. Look, I actually liked this movie. Yeah, I did. It has its flaws, but... »
Flame Over India (aka Northwest Frontier, 1959)
In another browsing-thru-netflix-streaming-WTF-is-this-one? moment, I found this little gem, Northwest Frontier, or Flame Over India. It takes place in British occupied India, more specifically the territory still squabbled over between India and Pakistan, just after the turn of the century when the British foothold in the region was sketchy at best. Capt. Scott (Kenneth... »
Cat Sh*t One, aka Apocalypse Meow is online!
With all the frenzy in our house surrounding the Super Bowl (yay Pack!) I neglected to post this juicy little tidbit I received over the weekend. Shame on me!! I'll quote in its entirety... Its only available on YouTube for 2 weeks starting Feb. 5th..... ‘Cat Shit One’ PRESS RELEASE February5, 2011 The full... »
