War Horse

New movie coming out at Christmas. Don't know if it is going to be good or bad, but it is a Spielberg history movie, with John Williams doing the music. Can't really turn out a bad one based on that.

Act of Valor... Act of Valor... Scratches head... GI Jane II? No, no, real SEALS... So Charley Sheen was in this one too, right?

Why Rangers? Cause SEALs need heroes too.

I wouldn't see it again if I found a broken into Redbox machine and it was free.

Let's just say that acting is not one of their strong suits.

Saw this one recently, my gf and I both enjoyed it very much. Well made, good action, great story, suitable for family viewing as well. Highly recommended.

I watched 'Machine Gun Preacher' the other night with my wife, and really enjoyed it. That guy is my kind of evangelist!
