Saving Private Ryan (1998, Blu Ray)
Saving Private Ryan (1998, Blu Ray) Well, its finally happened!! Saving Private Ryan is available on Blu Ray! Awesome! I'm going to leave the gist of things to my other review of Saving Private Ryan, based on the DVD, and stick to the Blu here. In short. Wow. I can honestly say that this... »
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... »
Braveheart (1995, Blu Ray)
If you haven't seen 1995's Braveheart by now, you've probably been living under a rock, or in some remote Gobi-desert cave or something. I mean, really. The tale of William Wallace, 13th century champion of Scottish independence, Braveheart is indeed an epic film in every sense of the word. Painted here as a simple... »
Black Hawk Down (2002, Blu Ray)
Everything I said about 2002's Black Hawk Down in my previous review still stands, including the words I used to describe it. F*cking intense. On Blu Ray? How about even more F'ing intense? To recap, Black Hawk Down is the story of a routine mission gone totally FUBAR in Somalia. That's about the long... »
Valkyrie (2008, Blu-Ray)

Valkyrie is a telling of that story. Revolving around Col. Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) we see the events unfold from his days... »
The Dirty Dozen (1967, Blu-ray)
OK, we all know The Dirty Dozen is one of the best war movies ever made, right? Just accept the fact. It's awesome blend of action, humor, and 1960's cynicism make it an eternal classic. What better than to watch this masterpiece on Blu-ray!! »
The Last Samurai (2003, Blu-ray)
The Last Samurai takes us back to a time of change in Japan. Where the traditional governmental systems and military traditions were giving way to Westernized concepts. Where the old guard, the Samurai were finding themselves irrelevant, and weren't willing to go out without a fight. First, the movie does have some basis in... »
Battle of Britain (1969, Blu-Ray)
This is the first of a new category of reviews, namely Blu-Ray. Yeah, I finally got a Blu-Ray player to go with my new 1080p LCD (thanks extended warranty!) and I figure what better way to use it than to go back and revisit all these great war films in 1080p goodness, with the... »
