I just saw Cross of Iron last night for the first time in a long time... I enjoyed it a lot more this time.
I just hired out Anzio. It got mixed reviews so I'm wondering if it will be any good or not. Apparently that where the Art of Combat game will be based. Anzio.. |

Not too impressed with Star Wars 7...better at least than 3 - 6.
Have not seen Revenant yet, hope to see it this weekend.
Have not heard of any new WW2 movies in production yet in Hollywood. |

Yes, a new WW2 block buster would be nice. What period in WW2, as most major periods have been covered. Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings repute was meant to be making a remake of the Dam Busters ( military aircraft being a passion of his ). Nothing has been said about that for sometime but it went past the drawing board.
|
Yeah apparently he was looking to make a movie on Richthofen too. He owns about 30 ww1 replica aircraft

Peter has to do something with all that $$$ he has burning a hole through his wallet. It would be nice to see a new epic WWI movie, those are extremely rare. |

Jackson is still meant to be doing a new Dam Busters. He had to shelve the idea as he took over the last Hobbit. The Revenant is very good. |

| Revenant is not really a "War" movie, with the exception of the opening scene as intense as it was, it's really more of a copy-cat of The Edge with Anthony Hopkins from 20 years ago. More about survival in the wilderness and revenge. It was a strange movie and the ending so vague. Some scenes were extremely similar to parts of Gladiator and Star Wars II...like the editors couldn't help themselves to "borrow" ideas from other films. Kind of too obvious. |

| You're getting a bit too picky dj. Of the thousands of movies and books out there we can make similarities between many of them. The Edge? Why stop there, ever seen The Grey? Too obvious, I think not. Having just watched Gladiator Friday, other than Crowe's imagination/flashbacks scenes I can't really see what else is similar. People die with arrows? As for Attack of the Clones, no idea! |

| Yea I'm a perfectionist I know...and die-hard movie buff and die-hard history buff. We are never going to get a movie that we all want. That 's what documentaries are for. Unless Shane has some connections? It was an ok movie. Empire Strikes Back, when Luke had to gut that animal to stay alive... Re: Gladiator, the ending is what I meant, those flashbacks. |

Totally agree - it's not a war movie. It is a conflict movie is it not, as most westerns are. It is only based only the truth as in reality Glass never had his son with him during this incident etc. Artistic License and all. Same with Argo, American Sniper etc - entertainment not necessarily accurate. |
