    Saints and Soldiers

    It's been out for awhile, but I finally Bought this on impulse and watched it for the forst time. It's an independant film that is styled along the lines of Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers... right down to the menus.

    I enjoyed it, and felt it fits in my war collection. Based on true events, it follows a group of American soldiers who became trapped behind enemy lines, and attempt to get a downed British pilot back to allied forces due to critical information he carries.

    Worth atleast a rent for those who enjoyed SPR/BOB.

    :3: out of :5:, maybe :35:

    I'd had this one in my hands at Best Buy on occasion, but just hadn't pulled the trigger (pun intended). Guess I'm going to spend some birthday money on this one. Thanks Nick. :T

    PQ and SQ are...?

        PQ and SQ are right there with Band of Brothers, maybe 1/2 notch down, but pretty close. The picture has that same grey/mute coloring with a grainy effect like you see in BOB.

        Definetly not as good, but certainly good enough for me to keep it.

          I'll cut right to the chase: this is a powerful, impacting movie, and if you are a fan of war movies you should see it. Period. If you are a fan of well thought-out, realistic and technically accurate movie making, then go see

          "We Were Soldiers" - a review

          My One Word Review for "We Were Soldiers": Brutal.

          Thank goodness director Randall Wallace didn't feel the need for going with that overdone blue filter and gave us some of the scariest war battle scenes shot in natural sunlight and darkness. There was a bit a slow-motion action...

          Got my E-mail notice that We Were Soldiers shipped out on the 15th - woohoo! Hopefully, it'll be in the mailbox when I get home. If it is, I know what I'm doing tonight. Has anyone else's shown up already?

          Amazon Prime Trial, really enjoyed "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit"
          by Lex
          Based on a Tom Clancy novel, so you know it's got good bones, and is intricately layered with plot lines.

          Also stars Kevin Costner, in a senior type roll. I don't mean senior citizen, senior experienced guy. watch the movie, and you'll see. Lot of action, and a fun ride! Go for it!!!...
