-Movie- "Miracle at St.Anna"

Before viewing, i really wanted to like this movie. While the cinematography was great, the potential was soon shot down by god-awful,cheesy dialogue, bad acting, holes in the plot and good ol' Spike Lee overdoings(the harsh racism of every white American soldier shown, the stupidness and mystic personality of 'the little boy' and an ending thats all too 'conveniant')...if your still curious, watch it, im just saying it was a letdown..

I saw it, thought it was ok. Some good battle scenes, but it was pretty slow for me. That one chick was pretty hot though (you know who I'm talking about).

Oh yeah..niiiiice rack, gorgeous body..too bad she gets murked..

..most war movies tend to go thru slow periods, so i didnt mind those parts. Bad acting, cheesy/bad dialogue and that 'too conveniant, cherry on the top conclusion' put a bad taste in my mouth....

Full Metal Jacket was light years better than Saving Private Ryan.

Hmm, I like Saving Private Ryan better, though FMJ was cool.
"What the fuck is this?" " Its a Jelly donut sir"..... cracks me up every time.

Platoon and Apacolypse Now are both better.

I really liked St Anna it had a good pace, nice action, and drama.

Apacolypse Now is the shit. I still need to see Platoon though.

Platoon's fuckin' epic....must-see-


-I saw Valkyrie w/ Tom Cruise last week(fuckin' stinker, you'll forget that movie as soon as it ends)
-Casualties of War w/Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox is dope too
-I can watch Saving Private Ryan over and over like a kid
-'The Great Escape'w/ Steve McQueen is an all-time fave.
-Heartbreak Ridge w/ Clint Eastwood,again, is an all time fave

Wow! I'm surprised to see someone list Heartbreak Ridge. I would have mentioned it, but i didn't think too many people would be familiar with it. It's one of my favorite movies too. It may not be Clint Eastwood's best, but it's my personal favorite of his.

Yeah, my grandfather put me on that one when i was younger...about a year ago, i saw it on AMC and went on Amazon soonafter to buy it used along with 'Escape from Alcatraz'....

...lately i've been on a Eastwood 'Western' trip...i.e:High Plains Drifter, Hang 'em High, Good/Bad/Ugly,Outlaw Josey Wales, Fistfull of Dollars,etc..

yeah, most of his Westerns are good. I prefer Unforgiven over all of his Spaghetti Westerns, but The Man With No Name Trilogy is still great.
