Advantages: blu-ray, awesome action, compelling story
Disadvantages: a pretty old film

This is a fantastic movie, period. It combines war stories of true american heroes with some of the best action sequences to make a truly magnificent film. It was written through reading the Memos of one of the main characters, so this is one of the more accurate war movies of our time. The Blu-ray aspect truly does add the edge to this already brilliant movie, and although blu-ray players are expensive...after watching a movie like this on a blu-ray ... Read review

...you've found that film. Saving Private Ryan is a film that starts off at the D-day landings. Tom Hanks plays a Captin, commanding a small squadron of men. After they land on the beach, they find out they must find Private Ryan. A soldier who had 3 brothers in the war, all of which died. To save his mother further sufering, Captin John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) and his squad are sent to retrieve him and pull him out of the war. The movie begins with ...
...great! How they made it look so realistic, I do not know. It consists of men moving up the beach, loosing their arms, drowning in the water because of heavy equipment, there is even a camera angle were you see it from the German gunner's point of view. The story is just amazing. Throughout the movie the squad gets less and less men as usually one dies at every battle. This, of course, makes it more realistic as in some war films you go the whole ... Read review

Advantages: A true story and a very interesting one

...best tactics for fighting the Zulu and watch the Zulu king and tribe counter these tactics and use a fair bit more cunning than has been expected of them. A one armed hero leads the British army into battle, with many of them rightly fearing for their lives unlike their officers who feel it was a matter of when not if they would win the battle. Historians will enjoy this movie immensely, for everyone else though I am still sure its worth the time ... Read review

Dutch cinema has, no disrespect, never quite taken the world of celluloid by storm. Its most successful director is unarguably Paul Verhoeven who hit the big-time with films such as Basic Instinct, RoboCop and Starship Troopers. The best-known actor has to be Rutger Hauer who came to fame as the android in Blade Runner, was a fearsome baddie in The Hitcher and has gone on to build a successful career from then, known in this country as well for the ...
...personalities shared a billing are therefore emblematic as far as the Dutch are concerned, and of no little interest to the rest of us. "Solder of Orange" (Soldaat van Oranje), the thirdd film which falls into this category, is a 1977 movie set during the Second World War but its appeal goes beyond lovers of the genre, indeed anyone expecting major battle scenes will be disappointed. It tells the story of a group of friends at the University of ... Read review

...Platoon, Hart's War and finally Windtalkers but before I go on to give a brief review of each movie it'd be wise to provide one paragraph on the producers of this collection MGM. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is named after the three companies - Metro Pictures Corporation, Goldwn Picture Corporation and Louis B. Mayer Productions - that merged into one in 1924 to become one of the biggest names in entertainment production. Since that time it has passed through ...
...Nicholas Cage and Christian Slater Windtalkers is based on actual events during the Pacific War in World War II. The Japanese have broken every code produced so a group of Navaho's are brought in to use their language as the new code. Code talker Private Ben Yahzee [Adam Beach] is assigned to war-hardened veteran Sergeant Joe Enders [Nicolas Cage] and his close friend Private Charlie Whitehorse [Roger Willie] is assigned to Sergeant Ox Henderson ...
