Rock the Kasbah
Good 17 Points 2015

A fun little jaunt to Afghanistan by the quirky Bill Murray. Even with his increasingly old and grizzled demeanor, he continues to pull off that special brand of snarky humor, even if it is a bit more subdued than in days of old. And speaking of subdued, don’t blink or you might miss Bruce Will…

War Pigs
Good 17 Points 2015

While War Pigs is nothing spectacular, this fairly typical WWII film holds its own with other B players of the genre. Dolph Lundren an Mickey Rourke add some star power and the writers don’t copy old ideas too obviously.

Battle for Seva...
Great 17 Points 2015

If you liked ‘Sniper’, this is a sniper you’ll want to see. It is worth sticking out the subtitles for this great story about Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the most successful female sniper in history. This is a Bio-Drama war flick, so you’ll be highly engaged as you follow her story as war forces her t…

OK 17 Points 2015

Bicycle troops against invading Germans? The equipment, including the machine guns mounted to motorcycle side cars seemed comically inadequate. It’s easy to make fun of the circumstances, but apparently this is a serious tale of bravery and heroism to the Danes.

Good Kill
Really Great 83 Points 2015

Obama’s War on Terror comes alive in Good Kill. Set in 2010, after the second POTUS to prosecute the Islamist War dramatically escalated drone warfare, it unflinchingly portrays the toll on airmen and their families from a new kind of combat in an incompetently defined war. Albeit fictional, it…

Tina Fey! Boozer journalists in war torn Afghanistan! Military scenes led by Billy Bob Thornton! An oversexed Margot Robbie! Scary Taliban chase scenes! Honestly, this was an unexpected treat. Go see it!

Free State of J...
Really Great 83 Points 2016

Newton Knight is a newly essential Matthew McConaughey role that finally knights Newt Knight as a true American hero. Even more, Free State of Jones is an only-in-America story, so corny it could only be true. A deeply moral white man frees enslaved blacks and marries a black woman during the C…

Very Good 17 Points 2016

Ang Lee mixes impactful flashbacks and the surreal present of Billy Lynn and his squad’s PR tour back home. The movie’s message points out the disingenuousness of the average American’s feigned support of our fighting men and women, which is why I loved Ang’s use of the flashback to snap us all b…

Mine
OK 17 Points 2016

Marine behind enemy lines can’t step off of a mine. The drama meanders through a series of delusions about his life and fears. Not horrible, but I couldn’t get over the unlikelihood of the situation

Hacksaw Ridge
Great 83 Points 2016

Okinawa was once a byword for the savagery of war. Hacksaw Ridge plumbs the depths of that savagery and the grace that also attended it in the form of Medal of Honor recipient Desmond Doss. A conscientious objector, Doss was unsurpassed in bravery, personally rescuing 75 wounded men from the "t…
