Saw Transformers 2 with my son. Pretty good but could use some major editing. About 1/2 an hour too long.

Re: Movie Reviews
Quite possibly the worst modern war movie I have ever seen. They took a great book by Jones and turned it into a pussified movie that seems to be more nature film (what the fuck is with all the damn jungle flora and fauna shots). Saw it with RGRPuck when it came out, expecting a Pacific version of "Saving Private Ryan" and we both were disgusted.Hung Low wrote:Due to the sandstorm here, got to sit through "The Thin Red Line" again. One of my fav's.

DO NOT WATCH BRUNO. I SAY AGAIN, DO NOT WATCH BRUNO.
There were like 5 funny parts. You can see them all on Fandango.com. It is absolutely unnecessary to sit through the huge smorgasbord of cock, asshole, dildos, exercise bike powered dildos, midgets, and...
...fuck, I can't type anymore about it. All that shit was in there...
I've been looking at heteroporn all day, trying to recover.

Re: Movie Reviews
I saw the Transformers Revenge with my 4 year old grandson. I quite enjoyed it especially when I spotted one tan beret in the whole movie, but at least it was there. Except my son EARNED the black first then the tan later.....The Warriors Mom

Re: Movie Reviews
I watched the curse of Cain the other day, it was kind of hard to understand because it was low par, it was a British movie, but the message was loud and clear. It takes place in Iraq. I'll have to re-rent it when my husband gets back home from his business trip. He wants to see it. Love Mel

I googled it, and Netflixed it, and got nothing.

Re: Movie Reviews
Rangers, Veterens, Forum Members,
Watched "The Hurt Locker", watching all the stuff about EOD was interesting to me. Can't confirm or deny the validity of what was done in the movie (Such as three EOD guys going out by themselves to go hunt some bomber down). Far as I can tell it's supposed to be "Realistic" fiction.
PS: Main Character Staff Sergeant William James (Played by Jeremy Renner) is a Ranger in this movie. I'll opinions about him up to the rest of you.
