Brothers War (2009)
The worst excuse for a WWII movie i have ever seen
Where do I even begin? The plot jumps from character to character without any explanation of what is happening in the background. The "German" soldiers are 100% American, and do not even attempt a German accent. the main British soldiers also switch in and out of fake British accents. The main German characters are using Russian issued weapons. When people get shot,miraculously, they do not bleed. In fact, when most weapons are shot, you can tell that the sound and flash were added afterward, and the actors are just faking the kick. Some of the super-close up shots are filmed with blanks, but the majority of it is CGI. 2 men will hide behind a tree as big as my leg, and fight off an entire platoon...magically, there are no bullet holes in the tree. As far as acting goes, it goes from bad to worse as soon as the first scene is over. I love corny movies and bad acting, but it gets to a point where it's just too bad for words. I watched 3 chapters of this movie, and couldn't take it...I skipped forward to each chapter and tried to watch a little bit of each one,but it just kept getting worse. PLEASE do not waste your time!!!!
Righteous Kill (2008)
Worth a watch, just don't expect too much.
I'm a big DeNiro and Pachino fan. As well as any of the Wahlberg brothers. In fact they are the saving grace of this movie. Once again they make up for Leguizamo and his terrible acting. If you need to kill time, watch this movie...if you're looking to sit down to an action thriller, or see something exciting with buddies,....skip it. There is some action in it, and the killshots are usually pretty gory/realistic, but in general it is a psychological flick. the plot is a little loose, but carried out pretty well. In a nutshell, I'm glad I paid the dollar to rent it, but even happier I didn't pay more. Watch it eventually, but don't make it a priority by any means.
Eden Log (2007)
Terrible
Make sure you do not watch this movie. The sets are really cool, but there is little plot structure, if any. Everything is left up to you to figure out, which is fine if the movie is any good, but this one is just terrible. The acting sucks, and it just continually drags on with no changes to the characters or plot. The 2 characters that make up the "cast" of survivors barely speak, and are horrible actors. I cannot stress enough how much the large budget for this movie does NOT make up for having a crappy plot filled with holes. The end seems rushed, and it feels like after all this buildup, they just ran out of time, or money, and decided to staple on the ending at the last minute.
