Valerie Flake (1999)
Entertaining to some degree
I've now seen this movie twice. I still don't know what I've seen. Unusual yes, repetitive yes, boring no, well acted yes, predictable yes, unusual plot no. So how do you evaluate this movie ? See it for yourself, give it time, it will gather your interest, do not expect a lot. While Susan Traylor is not pretty and looks well worn in some scenes, she does have a sexy face and nice body movements, she sure could use some more curves though. Her acting talent is pretty good, although I have never seen her in another movie, so it's hard to judge on the basis of one time. She is this movie, she carries it throughout. The rest of the acting seams pretty good to me and each character adds something to the film. I suggest you watch it..
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
I think this movie is perhaps the best war movie ever made
I grew up in a tight knit Italian family, my father and several close uncles who all saw action in the Second World War, in fact when I was born my father was in Europe fighting. They were in the Marines, Army, Navy and one in the 101 airborne. Although none of them would speak of what they saw and did in any great detail, as they grew older they would from time to time discuss little bits and pieces. I can tell you from what I gleaned from their various conversations and having seen just about every war movie, "Saving Private Ryan" is as close as we privileged citizens are ever going to get to what it was really like. However, I believe it reality it was worse, yes worse than movie could make it. Remember, this was a 3 hour movie showing one incident, the reality is far worse, as the survivors of each incident did not go home, they got to fight again the next day/week/month/year, and so on, until the war was won of you were killed or wounded. The greatest generation, you bet. They made the world free, they did give up their tomorrows so we could have ours. If you don't agree and therefore do not honer, remember and celebrate these REAL American hero's, Than I say KMA and drop dead you UN-American SOB and go back to whatever hole you came from.
