| No Chance Outside | I've come out on leave and I've read the blurb... basically about what happens when you got highly trained and motivated people sit out in the sun and do nothing for months a stretch. I can relate to it already.

I don't watch war movies for accuracy, sure it's hard not to point out the falsities when you're watching them but for the most party I just try to be entertained. This movie didn't entertain me regardless of it's unrealistic plot lines. I thought the movie itself was boring and doesn't hold a candle to the other great Hollywoodized movies we have out there like FMJ, Platoon, Blackhawk Down, etc. Someone said "this is what happens when you get highly trained and motivated people to sit around and do nothing" (I am paraphrasing). Highly trained individuals do not fire their rifles into the air. It looked more like a homosexual frat party go awry.

| Centurion | Not seen the film but read the book yesterday.So good,I took the afternoon off to read it.Yes,there are some strange inconsistencies in it but it is a story being told by someone with borderline mental illnessess. Hollywood can never reproduce the narrative story(although sometimes they do a good job). Will watch it tomorrow and see how they've done.

| Primus Pilus | I had a hard time watching it because I've dated Marines. Parts of it kinda hit home with the lonely issues he was feeling. Other then that it was good I guess. Jake Gyllenhaal with his shirt of was great! Yay for santa hats and cammies!
