movie review
From Saving Private Ryan to 300, these military movies contemplate the complexities of war, the courage of soldiers and the many costs of conflict to all sides.
One of the best war miniseries ever
I have a deep love of history. The wars, the settling of America, but my biggest area of history that I love to study is the Holocaust ERA. There have been many great movies about this time period, The Hiding Place, Schindlers List, Valkyrie, Silent Night just to name a few. Also, give that my grandmother is half Dutch and half German really adds to the mystery. Had I known that the city I was stationed in is where my German ancestors hailed from, I would have spent more time learning about them.

James Reviews: 'Triple Frontier'
With a cast of Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund, Charlie Hunnam, and Pedro Pascal, all playing former Delta Force ops, the movie screams action movie bravado. What's promised is an action packed heist movie with firefights, chases, and dangerous roadblocks. What follows is a heist movie that focuses more on the getaway than the steal, and the gradual unraveling of the group.

What Spies don’t Know
Bond enamoured you with his wit, confidence, and spectacular feats. Bourne thrice shocked you with revelations both big and small. While, you may have gripped your armrests for those rides, I offer a story so packed with everything espionage that I refuse to write the genre because I know I can do no better. What is the film title, you ask? “The Man Who Knew Too Little”.

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

‘Beau Travail’: Hard Work Has Never Looked So Good
Beau Travail is the 1999 cult classic from renowned director, Claire Denis. It tells the story of Galoup, an ex-Foreign Legion officer who recalls his time leading troops in the country of Djibouti; and thanks to the folks over at Janus Films, the world is finally receiving a brand new 4K digital restoration, supervised by director of photography Agnès Godard and approved by director Claire Denis. From an outsider’s perspective, this seems like something that has been a long time coming and I cannot think of a better way to watch this film for the first time.

Greyhound (2020)
January 1942. The Atlantic War has been raging for three years and the losses on both sides are high. Despite the massive expenditure of man and material, the Atlantic still has to be crossed in order to secure the supply chain for the Allied powers. Time and again, convoys with a large number of transport ships are flanked by destroyers in order to bring them safely to their destination. As far as possible, airplanes provide escort. The not so young Ernest Krause was given command of the USS Keeling shortly after the USA entered World War II. The destroyer, nicknamed Greyhound hears is supposed to bring a convoy of 37 Allied ships safely through a five-day period in which air support is interrupted.
