Just found out about this one as well.  This should be simply incredible.... THE WAR, a seven-part series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four quintessentially American towns. The series explores... »

From across the pond comes a little-known film called Overlord, which of course was the code name for the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion. This film really is a hidden gem.  Shot completely in black and white, and brilliantly intermixed with a ton of documentary footage from the Imperial War Museum's archives, Overlord is... »

Man, I can honestly say I've just seen the most bleak, dark, depressing, demoralizing... and downright dull war movie I've seen to date.... A Walk in the Sun follows a squad of soldiers as they land on a beach in Italy, and proceed to an occupied farmhouse in a quest to blow up a... »

Looks like at least parts of the filming for Valkyrie (or maybe I should say "Rubicon?") are proceeding!  I can only imagine what the older folks would think seeing a sight like this...  Looks like at least one of them was a Junkers Ju 87, aka "Stuka"....  Has the name of the picture changed?... »

In 2000, former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara sat down for an hour-long interview with Errol Morris for the PBS series, "First Person."  Over eight hours of interview material later, this semi-autobiographical documentary was born. McNamara is best known for being SecDef during the Kennedy years and the Cuban missile crisis, and later... »

This week all I could find releasing on DVD was this little tidbit from Argentina, a film about the local perspective on the Falkland Islands conflict of '82: Blessed By Fire (2005) A powerful Argentinean antiwar film in the tradition of American Vietnam films such as Full Metal Jacket and Coming Home, Blessed By... »

I am in a world of shit, yes.  But I am alive, and I am not afraid. Stanley Kubrick's 1987 masterpiece Full Metal Jacket is a somewhat bizarre animal.  Is it a hardcore war movie? Is it an anti-war movie? Is it a scathing parody of nearly any war movie that came before it? ... »

Unsure when the promotion for this started, but I just saw the ads on TNT.  This looks like it could be good.  Really good....   Here's the blurb from the official site: With this cast, and the same  minds that brought us Band of Brothers, I suddenly can't wait! This summer, TNT proudly presents The... »

(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... »

And an un-promoted one at that.  Maybe I've been outside the areas its being released in, but I've heard nothing about it.  Guess I'll be waiting for the DVD.... Based on the true story of German-born Dieter Dengler, who dreamed of being a test pilot and thus made his way to America, where he... »

Face it, just about any war movie made in the fifties starring John Wayne is going to be considered a classic.  By default.  1951's Flying Leathernecks is deserving of the title regardless of the main character's name. The story is a pretty standard war-time fare, about a squadron of Marine fighter pilots in WWII... »

Heh, this is kind of ironic, don't you think? Germany has barred Bryan Singer and company from shooting at a German military site because the film’s star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist. The German government does not recognize as a church. According to THR, Berlin says Scientology masquerades as a religion to make money,... »

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.  What in the hell was that 90 minutes I just watched? Operation Bikini is on the surface supposed to be about a team of underwater demolition experts who head out on board a submarine to the Japanese held Bikini Atoll, where another sub carrying a prototype radar... »
