"Nobody is really interested in war flicks anymore, particularly WWII."

Ummm...I am.

And I was oh so disappointed by "The Great Raid". What a great story. What a disappointing movie.

I had heard that someone was making a movie about Iwo Jima...I cannot imagine how they could make a movie about it that would be accurate while allowing people to stay in the theatre watching it...

I must admit, after seeing Band of Brothers, any war flick will have a tough job topping that one. Say what you will about Spielberg and Hanks, but they did a damn fine job on Private Ryan/Band of Brothers.

I thought "Enemy of the Gates" was good, but could have been much better. I particularly enjoyed seeing that real-life commie Ed Harris get blown away at the end.
