Movie review thread...

<p>I would have if i paid for it as well. </p>

Finally saw American Sniper. Not what I expected, and much better then I thought it would be. I was expecting, having not read much about it that it would be a lot of "America is great!", but it didn't focus on the politics but more the personal experience of going to war and the effect that has on people. Bradley Cooper was great, his best performance by far.

<p>I can't see why someone wouldn't like that movie. It's very rewatchable. I still think it is disappointing it won best picture ahead of Pulp Fiction and the Shawshank Redemption though.</p> -

<p>I read the book.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And it was pretty much "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" on repeat, along with a bit of "It was tough on my wife but she put up with it because 'MURICA!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So the film sounds like a nice alternative. </p> -
<p>I cant recall if it was that kind of vibe in the film, I know some arent (Zero Dark Thirty) whereas others fit the hoo-rah type (13 Hours, Secret Soldiers of Benghazi)</p>
-
<p>The film was pretty understated in it's hung-ho, rah, rah America side of things. Much more on a personal level really. The only hung-ho bits I reckon were on his rationalising why he joined up in the first place. Like a few others I was not queuing up to see this film but was glad that I did see it in the end. At least I know what a power drill is for now.</p>

<p>Yeah, book was way more rah rah then the movie. He came across as an ass in most of it.</p>

<p>My 13 Hours cut will be more Blackhawk Down than rah rah and definitely no cheese. I'm getting an ex student who now works for us to teach me how to use the editing equipment - it's a bit more complicated than iMovie.</p> -
<p>be a much shorter movie then, afterall, it <em>was</em> directed by Michael Bay</p>

<p>Just watched Secretariat. Bit Disney for my liking, but it has Diane Lane.</p>
