    “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.

    “Remember the Titans” Movie Review

    “Remember the Titans” Plot Summary

    The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit.

    Best Movie I’ve Ever Seen !

    Remember the Titans was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It really showed the passions of all of the people in the movie. It showed that a single high school football team can change the minds of a town and what they think about each other. It taught us a good lesson on racism. Most people just think of movies as entertainment but Remember the Titans was so much more than that and people could really learn a lesson by watching this movie. I suggest that every person watch this at least once in their life because it changed the way I look at everybody. Each character in the movie really had an important part and I can’t believe that this really happened in real life. It is a painful thing to think about how messed up our world is and how it is so full of hatred.

    “Reign Over Me” Movie Review

    “Reign Over Me” Plot Summary

    A man who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs into his old college roommate. Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help the man recover from his grief.

    Not Warm and Fuzzy but it IS Great ~ Don’t Miss This

    I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I was pleasantly surprised as well as shocked. Adam Sandler met and surpassed any expectations I would have ever had with a dramatic role

    This film will take you through an emotional roller coaster and because of it’s execution, you won’t even mind. The story itself is too painful to imagine but the range of emotions are very understandable. You can’t help but feel something for both of the leads but the story is clearly focused on Sandler. Adam delivers a more than capable performance in a VERY demanding role

    Whatever you were/are expecting from this film, expect more. Set aside two hours and prepare to involve yourself. I was actually disappointed when it ended because I wanted more story. How often can you say that?

    “Ladykillers” Movie Review

    “Ladykillers” Plot Summary

    An eccentric, if not charming Southern professor and his crew pose as a band in order to rob a casino, all under the nose of his unsuspecting landlord: a sharp old woman.

    An Amusing Tidbit from the Coen Bros.

    Not up there with ‘O Brother’ or ‘Fargo,’ but definitely better than ‘Intolerable Cruelty.’ Best thing about it is the dialogue — there are a lot of really funny lines (though some of it is hard to understand). The plot — a remake — is a basic black comedy crime caper story where a gang of oddballs gets together to steal a bunch of money from a casino and everything eventually goes wrong. Tom Hanks is solid — his character is quite a creation — and the old lady is funny too. Of course — this being a Coen Bros. creation — there are lots of minor characters who are really amusing. Marlon Wayans’ character is annoying, though — he’s just sort of a typical p***ed-off, smart-ass, black guy. The cinematography is lovely, of course. And by the way, there is an AMAZING gospel choir and great gospel music throughout.
