LoneStar Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Beer Wars. It is awesome and it will make you go down to the local brew pub and grab a pint asap if not just go get a brewing kit and make it yourself! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG4gL3eAHVs Vice Guide to Travel. Very cool. Fat hippie sneaks small camera into North Korea and records batshit craziness. Other episodes feature the worlds worst shithole- Liberia, Chernobyl, and others. Streams on Netflix. Or just watch back to back short documentaries on VBS.tv and be amazed. Another National Geographic doc inside North Korea. Just watched all 14 part of him going to North Korea, thats gnarly.

B52gator Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 This looks promising...although I hope it isn't a re-hash of the 90's HBO movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoleIt Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Looks EXACTLY like Tuskeegee Airmen. Even down to Cuba Gooding Jr...who is now a Major instead of a 2Lt. Kudo's to him for being in the same movie twice...bet he didn't even have to memorize the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The first movie was pretty good, I don't see the reason for another especially since other units such as the 4th Fighter Group haven't had a movie made about their exploits during WWII... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepGuyC17 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It seems George Lucas is no longer content to ruin my childhood memories of his own past movies, now he has to do it to other peoples' films as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas Man Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Very good movie. I thought from the trailer it was going to be cheesy, but it was a really good movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54vrgCP5nlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreudianSlip Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This looks promising...although I hope it isn't a re-hash of the 90's HBO movie. Just saw an advance screening at USAFA--I don't know how you can ruin the plot line of the Tuskeegee story but they did. Hell, I'm pretty much a lurker around here after being out for 6 years and felt I should post a public service announcement so people will save their money. Crappy plot line, cheesy dialog, unneeded side story(s), unrealistic flight maneuvers. Overall horrific! If I hadn’t been packed in with a bunch of cadets, I probably would have walked out 2/3rds the way through. Save your money-very disappointed.

Bucket Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) we lowly cadets here at USAFA got a pre-screening of "Red Tails" today and yesterday. It was an average movie, pretty bad CGI, not a good plot. Nothin really special, probably not worth most of yall's time. I'd give it a 4/10 ** And just read the previous poster's comments, passed right over them before. Just wasn't very well done Edited November 22, 2011 by Bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 pre-screening of "Red Tails" today and yesterday. It was an average movie, pretty bad CGI, not a good plot. Nothin really special, probably not worth most of yall's time. I'd give it a 4/10 No comment on the movie itself (which I have not seen)--but there's a documentary that I just saw today that was produced in conjunction w/ the movie, narrated by Cuba Gooding, Jr., and was shown at the base theater (will be again on the 13th, 16th, & 19th for those at Offutt). Title is Double Victory. It's TERRIFIC. Interviews with surviving original members (of whom at least three have passed since they were taped) interspersed with actual combat & other vintage footage (w/ a couple of modern P-51 flybys in there, too), focusing on the trials & tribulations that the Tuskegee Airmen faced in a segregated Army Air Corps & society at large. I highly recommend it if you have the opportunity. There are apparently two versions, 90-minute & a 60-minute (they showed the 60-minute); "public release" is 16 Jan (MLK Day) if you can't get an advance screening (I assume it will be on TLC or History Channel, or similar).

Royal Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've got high hopes for this one. Also, saw Sherlock Holmes part deux this weekend. Solid flick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Also, saw Sherlock Holmes part deux this weekend. Solid flick. The reviews aren't that good, but I don't put much stock into those. We really enjoyed the first one, and I was hoping the second would be as good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really enjoyed the first one, and I was hoping the second would be as good... If you liked the first one, you should enjoy the second just as well. There were some very cool slow motion scenes with munitions flying; I'd venture to say that you'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prozac Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Anyone even remotely into F1 should see the documentary "Senna". Was only a limited release in theaters but available now on Netflix. Very well done with some amazing archival footage to tell the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
