, not strictly a war movie, informs us that the Communists defeated the Nazis in WW2, and were robbed of their rightful rule of postwar Europe by capitalist trickery.
Windtalkers is just about the worst war movie I have ever seen. Wooden acting, atrocious battle scenes, unbelievable characters, irritating John Woo cliches, and, to top it all off, political correctness. Awful.
Both loads of PC C**p!
I went to see The Contender 'cuz I love Gary Oldman. Blecchhh!! I'm glad he disavowed the movie.
Went to The American President 'cuz my m-i-l wanted to do some female bonding. She loved it. It was torture with Michael Douglas and that weenie Martin Sheen.
The Thin Red Line - The occupation of Guadalcanal... And we get poetry crap? PLEASE!!!
Noted theater director Sam Mendes, who was responsible for the acclaimed 1998 revival of Cabaret and Nicole Kidman's turn in The Blue Room, made his motion picture debut with this film about the dark side of an American family, and about the nature and price of beauty in a culture obsessed with outward appearances. Kevin Spacey plays Lester Burnham, a man in his mid-40s going through an intense midlife crisis; he's grown cynical and is convinced that he has no reason to go on. Lester's relationship with his wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) is not a warm one; while on the surface Carolyn strives to present the image that she's in full control of her life, inside she feels empty and desperate. Their teenage daughter Jane (Thora Birch) is constantly depressed, lacking in self-esteem, and convinced that she's unattractive. Her problems aren't helped by her best friend Angela (Mena Suvari), an aspiring model who is quite beautiful and believes that that alone makes her a worthwhile person. Jane isn't the only one who has noticed that Angela is attractive: Lester has fallen into uncontrollable lust for her, and she becomes part of his drastic plan to change his body and change his life. Meanwhile, next door, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper) has spent a lifetime in the Marine Corps and can understand and tolerate no other way of life, which makes life difficult for his son Ricky (Wes Bentley), an aspiring filmmaker and part-time drug dealer who is obsessed with beauty, wherever and whatever it may be. American Beauty was also the screen debut for screenwriter.
This one had all the Liberal stereotypes in it.The gay couple who are oh so nice.The former Marine who is a psycho and no doubt a Republican.
..I thought you said 'worst movie'.....and
..having just rented The Majestic....I was ready to volunteer it!!!
Sooooo disappointing......I use to be Jim Carrey fan, but this bit of anti-American propaganda was too much!
