Black Hawk Down (2002)
You'll have to pardon the R-rated nature of this review, but damn, after seeing this (actually for the 2nd time) I can't help it. In a word, Black Hawk Down is intense. In two words: Fucking Intense. So intense that when its over you will feel worn out, angry, and down. And that's just... »
Flight (1929)
You know, just because something's old, doesn't mean it isn't any good. 1929's Flight is yet another example. One of Frank Capra's early films, it stands as a classic. The entire movie is a bonified period piece, that's for sure. There's no denying the era it comes from. It's packed full of slang, mannerisms,... »
The Beast (1988)
In 1988, the Soviets began their withdrawal from Afghanistan, ending their bloody occupation, and indeed ended their own "Vietnam" if you will. The Mujahideen had won (or maybe the Soviets just lost,) and America cheered at the Red Menace's defeat. In The Beast, we get a glimpse into that conflict. The film focuses on... »
The Patriot (2000)
First off, 2000's The Patriot is by no means historically accurate. Really in any aspect I can think of. Just do some reading up on the film and you'll see lots of other reviews railing on it for its blatant inaccuracies, and judging it solely on those points. Forget all that. The Patriot, in... »
Transformers (2007)
(insert that funky mechanical sound here...) I know what you're thinking. "Why are you posting a review of a film like Transformers on a War Movie Reviews site??!!!" The answer is simple, but takes a bit of explaining... "More than meets the eye" indeed! I should start off by saying that I never owned... »
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)
And then there was... Grenada? Lost in the midst of "the big ones" was this tiny little intervention in the early 1980's. 1986's Heartbreak Ridge ends up focusing on that particular conflict in the end, but takes us through one platoon's journey from slackerdom to full-out Marines. Seasoned veteran of Korea and Vietnam, Gunnery... »
“300″ Opens March 9th
"300", a movie about the battle of Thermopylae, opens this weekend on the 9th. I don't know about you, but I think I'll be skipping this one. Just on the "style-factor" alone. It looks too much like some video game to be worth anything. I may be wrong but there's a point at which... »
Stealth (2005)
So not a lot of good things have been said about Stealth. Eh, I went into this expecting the worst, and came out feeling a little better about it. Not much, but a little. Bottom line is it's not as bad as everyone says. *If* you perform a little "suspension of disbelief" black magic,... »
