I did not know the man personally but I have seen his type before. He was probably a dick who thought that he was harder than he really was. He probably got capped for it.

If that is the light that they shed in that documentary then I might watch it.

Acting like a soldier and doing something heroic is acceptable. Acting like a hero while only being a soldier might get others killed or you shot...

Basically in my mind before watching the film I figured he was just someone who went out and joined the Army for the publicity or to be a "hero". But after watching the movie I feel like he just did it because he just plain want to do it. He seemed like a guy that just did his thing and if you didn't like it F you.

The most interesting part of the movie to me was that on his 1.5 year leave he had a chance to go back to the NFL and the Army would discharge him honorable but he said no and planned to finish his tour. I think that said a lot about his character, he was going to finish what he started even though he was not liking the war and how the US was fighting it.

Just bought Machete the other day. Got the Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital combo for 20 bucks. Worth every penny ! My wife kept turning away and telling me how this is a movie that I should've watched with my cousin by the end we were both laughing. It was so campy and freaking awesome.

Let me also add from a Blu Ray stand point, that is how a disk should be set up. You can skip the previews, menuing makes sense, if you stop it it will pick right back up from where you stopped. It is a well laid out disk.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Finally watched Inception, thought it was generally "okay" with parts of "very good". What made it particularly interesting was watching it while loopy due to narcotic pain meds (oxicodone) from my foot surgery. Surreal does not begin to describe the night I had after watching the moving and trying to go to sleep.

I just started reading Into Thin Air. I didn't realize Krakauer wrote Tillman's bio, I'll be all over that.

Probably the minority agin but I enjoyed the hell out of Salt. It was a great nearly original storyline and concept.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I just took my 13 year old daughter and 12 year old neighbor kid to see Mars Needs Moms. The girls liked it and gave it a seven out of ten.
I though it was decent. Good movie to take the kids to. Makes you want to hug your mom when you get home.
CGI was decent too.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Watched Black Swan over the weekend, I don't see it as being great. to me it was just, ok.

Saw Fast Five as well, pretty good a must see in theaters the car chases were crazy and stay through the credits for a surprise.
