<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Catogrande" data-cid="594197" data-time="1467707392"><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></blockquote>

What is this "hung-ho" you speak of? -

<p>Just watched Secretariat. Bit Disney for my liking, but it has <strong>Diane Lane.</strong></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 liked the book, agree 100% about the USA USA stuff. But it still opened my eyes a bit to what it was really like in Iraq.</p> -

<p>9-12. I'll PM ya if ya want to know more. It definitely was interesting but I only realized how much after I lived there, I was pissed off there was no Maccas, KFC or coke for starters.</p> -
<p>That's My Boy.</p>
<p>This movie has no redeeming features whatsoever. Starts with the premise of statutory rape of a 13 year old and goes downhill from there all the way to incest. How the fuck they got Susan Sarandon and James Caan to join this Adam Sandler trainwreck is unknown.</p>

<p>Got to agree Mokey, also Susan Sarndon ain't all that. She plays the same person in pretty much everything shes in, Robyn Malcolm is our version of her. Outstanding rack back in her day though [ Sarandon not Malcolm].</p> -

<p>We had this conversation about Deborah Harry, I can get that chicks I used to like when I was younger are now in their 50s ( case in point Diane Lane on the previous page ) but no way I can perve at someone who is quite literally my Mums age.</p> -
The Equalizer. Basically Denzel Washington being badass and handing the Russians their collective asses right to the end where he easily accounts for the two top dogs. No plot twists or anything, just Denzel fucking shit up all the way through, which in fairness was enjoyable enough.

<p>That was good, liking the russian mafia as bad guys like they were in John Wick too. Martin Csoskas is a good bad guy.</p>
