“We Were Soldiers” Movie Review
“We Were Soldiers” Plot Summary
The story of the first major battle of the American phase of the Vietnam War and the soldiers on both sides that fought it.
I’ve been waiting over 30 years for one
Ever since 1970 when I finished my third tour of combat duty with the Marines in Viet Nam I have been waiting for a film that reflected the American Fighting Man in the Viet Nam war as an American Fighting Man; not a drugged-out, anti-war whiner. Well this is it. The movie is non-stop action after the first fifteen minutes of character development is finished. Having experienced what it is like to be over-run by the NVA during the third week of my first VN tour I can tell you that this movie does an excellent job of showing the excitement, tension, exhaustion, chaos, and courage of an extended battle. While this is by no means the best war movie I have ever seen, it is the first Viet Nam war movie which has provided me with a sense of satisfaction after leaving the theater. Mel Gibson turns in a good performance, Sam Elliot is a bit stiff. The wives of the soldiers are believable. Including a bit of the NVA’s attitude about the war adds a balanced flavor to the film. Overall I would say that you will experience at least a small part the intensity of war if you go to this movie. I took my female companion and she was shocked, touched, and thrilled with it. As Americans, we need to remember that freedom is not, and never has been, free. It is always paid for with the blood of those who fight to get it, sustain it, or expand it. The politically correct may not like this film, but then who cares what they like. Thanks for making this film Mel. I’ve been waiting over 30 years to see it.

“The General’s Daughter” Plot Summary
When the daughter of a well-known and well-respected base commander is murdered, an undercover detective is summoned to look into the matter and finds a slew of cover-ups at West Point. add synopsis
Better Than Excellent
I grew up in a military family and the first time I watched this film, it was more like a documentary to me than anything. I probably missed half this film in tears the first time I watched it. I’ve watched it now almost 50 times and it never looses it’s luster. Each actor/actress was chosen perfectly for their part…..what a movie, it says everything even on ‘mute’.

“Avenging Angelo” Movie Review
“Avenging Angelo” Plot Summary
A woman (Madeleine Stowe) who has just discovered she is the daughter of a murdered Mafia chieftain (Anthony Quinn) seeks revenge, with the aide of her Father’s faithful bodyguard (Sylvester Stallone). add synopsis
Good clean fun!
I bought this movie for two reasons, first, I wanted to get something my wife and I could watch together and Wal-Mart was selling it for $5.50, and secondly, it was filmed partly in the city where I work, and I saw Stallone standing between two sound trucks, looking just like Sylvester Stallone as I was leaving my office one night. I had always thought I should have a look at the movie.
I expected a grim-mouthed actioner, but having seen some of Stallone’s other work I should have known better. The movie is played with a lot of good humour, and fine interplay between Stallone and Stowe. There were a couple of places where I actually laughed out loud, and it’s hard to make me laugh.
If you want a movie you can watch on a quiet night with your teen-aged kids and your wife, this’ll do fine.

“Twelve Monkeys” Movie Review
“12 Monkeys” Plot Summary
In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.
One word: Amazing!
I didn’t see this movie for 13 years after it’s release. Everyone I met said it was great but I never got around to it. Finally I picked it up and I was blown away. The movie is slow at times yes, but it keeps you intrigued and interested.
The plot is that the world has been pretty much wiped out by a virus that is thought to been release by the army of the twelve monkeys. James Cole (Bruce Willis) is sent to gather info in order to help prevent it
The movie goes on from there and it has a few twist throughout.
The last 10-15 minutes is what blew me away. It’s shocking and answers some questions as to why Cole kept dreaming about the same thing over and over again.
This is a classic and I always recommend this to friends who are looking for a good sci-fi or any good movie in general. Great job by Terry Gilliam
