Lt. Dan Taylor:
That’s what all these cripples down at the VA talk about: Jesus this and Jesus that. They even had a priest come and talk to me. He said God is listening and if I found Jesus, I’d get to walk beside him in the [...]

Had the privilege to watch this acclaimed movie today during my “time off” from the army.
Personally, I’ve mixed views about the film.
The historical inaccuracies and a lack of realism marred the potential of the film greatly. It certainly was weird hearing German and Jewish characters speak in perfect English; though I could understand the compromise, [...]

Synopsis from IMDb:

Steve, planning to propose, has found an idyllic setting: a remote lake enclosed by woodlands and seemingly deserted.

I just caught Terminator Salvation today. Was pretty disappointed with it, to say the least. The film certainly didn’t live up to its trailer and the hype it created.
Besides the visual effects, it basically revolves around… nothing. The building up of characters was non-existent, thus newcomers to the franchise would be scratching their heads half [...]

Just watched Cape No. 7; the much hyped multiple award-winning film. I’m a sucker for great drama films, and this is definitely one of them.
Non of the typical over-elaborate effects you often see in movies; the camera work and cast won’t exactly capture your attention, but hey, that actually turns out to be a boon [...]

For those who haven known yet, I’m on a 3 day MC due to acute pharyngitis. Which means that I’ll miss my BMT field camp and will book into Tekong at 0700 hours tomorrow.
What does a sick soldier do at home? Well, gorge on movies, I suppose.
I’ve been watching lots of films lately, to keep [...]

Just sharing one of the better films I’ve watched lately.
Synopsis:
In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. Is it any wonder that so many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs? Director Christopher Bell explores America’s win-at-all-cost culture by examining how his two brothers [...]
