Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
Born on the Fourth of July is Oliver Stone’s second entry in his “Vietnam Trilogy” (Platoon, Heavan and Earth) and in my opinion, is the most powerful of the three. In fact, I would say it’s even more relevant to today than any of them, and maybe that’s why. While Platoon seems a bit cliche... »
Straight Into Darkness (2004)
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you crossed a war movie with Tales From the Crypt, and added a little bit of LSD-induced weirdness… you’d probably wind up with Straight Into Darkness. Two Allied prisoners manage to escape the MPs escorting them, and wind up on a sick and twisted journey into hell... »
Beaufort (2007)
Beaufort puts us in the middle of a conflict not many of us on this side of the planet really know much about, or understand for that matter. Set in 1990 during the Israeli-Lebanon war in the border outpost of Beaufort, which the Israeli’s are preparing to abandon, and thus destroy, after holding it... »
Black Book, aka Zwartboek (2006)
Black Book is a gritty tale of intrigue set in Holland during World War II. Director Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Robocop) pulls no punches here, and the result is a really, really good picture. A young Jewish girl, Rachel Stein (Carice van Houten) finds herself without a hiding place after an Allied bomber ditches its... »
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 fact. ... »
The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission (1985, TV)
The Dirty Dozen will live as one of the quintessential war movie classics. Its unique blend of action and humor, along with an incredible ensemble cast ensures it will always be on the top of any war movie list. Then there’s the sequel, The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission. Unfortunately everything that made the original what... »
How I Won The War (1967)
1967’s How I Won The War is a bizarre movie. I really can’t think of any other way to describe it. I’m trying to come up with some sort of comparison, and really, I can’t think of anything that comes close. Maybe a cross between Monty Python, Lawrence of Arabia, and a drug-induced 60’s... »
Promo for HBO’s “The Pacific”
I’m not sure where this comes from, although it has to be from Australia judging by the ‘battle that saved Australia’ bit. As with Band of Brothers, it looks like they may have struck paydirt here. Granted this shows only a very “Saving Private Ryan”-like landing scene, but it looks well done nonetheless…. ... »
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... »
