I used to use netflix, now we use the blockbuster version of it. It's
the same price, plus you get 2 free movie rentals a month at your local
blockbuster. Anyways, the simpson dvd's are always fun. -------------

Final Cut with Robin Williams. It's not the usual comical Robin Williams but rather like the One Hour Photo Robin Williams. You should rent both.

It's hard to find a good war movie these days. If that's what you're looking for, then I suggest stuff like A Bright and Shinning Lie and Platoon. The Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down stuff makes me sick to my stomach. If you want a good comedy I'd go with ones already suggested like Grosse Point Blank. Suspense: Identity is good. Seven is also a great movie. As someone already mentioned before, definitely rent Heat, very good cast and good action. |

Black Hawk Down was brilliant. And if you say Saving Private Ryan was bad too, something is wrong with you. -------------

| How was Black Hawk Down brilliant? Maybe for action and entertainment value, but certainly not on a deeper level. |
Posted By: stratoaxe
Date Posted: 28 June 2005 at 8:54pm
|
My only problem with Black Hawk Down was the score-I don't like my war movies with that amount of background music. Combat, in my opinion, is better left raw, as in Saving Private Ryan. Pearl Harbor isn't even in the same league, so I don't know where he's coming from on that one. -------------

Posted By: Dune
Date Posted: 28 June 2005 at 9:26pm
| Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down are the same to me because of their attempt at pure entertainment rather then the real issue. It's not a big deal though, it's Hollywood. I hated We Were Soldiers too. If you want a war movie, rent Schindler's List. |

Hardly. Much more went into that incident then just us on a "peace" mission. However, we're not debating the Somalia incident here, just the movie, and the fact that I dislike it because people see it as the truth and not entertainment. |

Right... no arguemtns here, I was just staing how it showd the truth, no hollywoord glamor. Our boys go through/went through a ton of stuff and they deserve our respect which is what Mark Bowden did.
It's a great portrayal IMO -------------

They at least did a reasonable job of showing the bravery of the two MoH recipients. |
Posted By: Dune
Date Posted: 28 June 2005 at 11:42pm
|
There was a lot of glorification of the soldiers on the part of Bowden and the book/movie. Anyhow, I only state that the one good thing the movie showed is that it brought light to yet another situation in which our government acted out as the "world police" rather than making a unified front with other nations. |
Posted By: Dune

Agreed, from personal recollections of many of the soldiers there, including the helicopter pilots that let them down, the story was pretty accurate with them. |

No one likes to see their own countrymen drug through the streets; however, if we had done it to their bodies, we'd have many Americans cheering and wanting to participate. The Medal of Honor seems to be one of the only medals that still means what it is supposed to. The rest seem to have lost importance because they are being handed out by the truckloads. |
Posted By: Linus
Date Posted: 28 June 2005 at 11:47pm

We would never, have never, and will never do anything of that sort. And if we did, believe you me, we wouldn't be cheering, we'd be jeering. -------------

Dune, BHD is a movie. Movies are made for entertainment. If Platoon wasn't entertaining, people wouldn't watch it. BHD showed intense realism and is classic becaues it goes down on the list of movies that don't glorify war. They show how needlessly people die because of mistakes on the part of the government. I think you can seperate war movies into two different parts-Movies like Rambo that glorify war and movies like FMJ, Platoon, BHD, SPR, and all the rest that show how really painful it is. It's my opinion that BHD totally succeeded to do the latter. -------------

Date Posted: 28 June 2005 at 11:50pm

I agree with you on the entertainment thing, as I had earlier stated. I was pointing out that I saw little in the way of telling the full truth with BHD. It only came to mind because of a college class that was focused primarily on politics involving cinema, war flicks, and history. |

The US government didn't make any mistakes. 18 American soldiers died
in exchange for hundreds of Somali's. The Rangers succeeded in
capturing their targets. |
Posted By: Dune
Date Posted: 28 June 2005 at 11:52pm

The rangers did not succeed in capturing their target. Adid was not even there on that date and did not get killed until 1996. The US government made plenty of mistakes, including not informing the UN of it's mission, or anyone else that could of helped. |

The Life Aquatic was a total different kind of comedy than Joe Dirt. TLA had an underlying dark humor as kind of an art, wheras Joe Dirt was basically in your face third grader humor. Few people apperciated Aquatic for what it was. -------------
