For the fallen...but not forgotten. Saints and Soldiers tells the true story of a US Army battalion forced to surrender behind enemy lines during the fierce battle of the bulge, Hitler’s last ditch offensive to secure his dwindling supply lines in allied-controlled Europe.

Postal
Hässlich. Terrible, I never played the game, didn't know it was even out - God only knows why I rented this one, it was a direct play title from Netflix, so it felt free.

If you watch it hoping to see lots of films parodied en masse, you will be disappointed - but they do have tons of loyal followers … [Read more...] about Be Kind Rewind

The film is an eye-opener to the horrors happening on a daily basis in a land most of us have never even heard of. My grandfather is a … [Read more...] about Rambo: 2008
