Terror at Tenkiller (1986)
80's American trash at its finest
I love good BAD movies and it don't get much better than this 80's gem. Shot in Oklahoma in the mid 1980's everything about this flick is a clusterF...and I love it. The overacting and super dumb characters is something I could watch and be entertained with for about 3 more hours than this just over an hour film. From the cover you'd think this baby was filled with action and suspense, wrong, its light on kill scenes and filled with either boring or brilliant scenes depending on how yer looking at this picture. Bottom line here is, this is a funny riot. Its a nice escape back to the 80's when straight to video horror films were all the rage... and even though its on DVD the transfer looks like it was taken directly from a VHS master, so stick some black tape over the DVD player display and its like you just popped this baby out of the big box into the VCR.
The Walking Dead (1995)
an average war film, but...
It could have been much better, the movie is actually worth watching once just for the dialog of Eddie Griffin's character and Sgt. Barkley. The problem comes in the form of awkward acting from all the cast (except the aforementioned characters) and the very predictable nature of EVERYTHING you experience during the movie. The film feels rushed and underdeveloped and very average. As the movie moves along you become a bit more attached to the characters due to the flashbacks of life before being deployed to war and good character development but overall this is probably one of the worst war movies I've seen. I give it a 5 just for Eddie though, he is great in this flick.
Jarhead (2005)
direction is brilliant
This film is directed flawlessly by Sam Mendes, brilliant character development, and the acting of Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard will linger with you long after the end of this movie. I was literally sweating in the theater during the last 30 minutes, and the ending is numbing. Visually, there are MANY stunning moments. Comedy was littered throughout, which was nice. The score, as well as the songs (most memorable and perfectly used in scenes are by NIRVANA and THE DOORS) are noteworthy as well.
Regardless of political views this is a must see.
Quite a moving film.
