Do you just dislike good things?

I didn't say I disliked it

Yeah call it in so more people can get taken out. I don't know that doesn't sound like the best move to me.

but c'mon, if an opposing sniper is knocking out 3 guys around you, don't you think it's time to call in for some support?

I'm a huge LotRs fan. I loved the books and the movies, but I will say this. In Return of the King, the Frodo / Sam parts sucked in my opinion. (most of them anyhow) The other half of the movie was incredible. It's hard for me to watch Return of the King because of the Frodo / Sam parts of the movie. They were just to slow and boring most of the time.

Of all the movies, I think The Two Towers is the best from beginning to end.

Agreed...I normally skip chapters when the sam/frodo parts are on in that one.

So more troops can get killed. Bringing in more support in the middle of the desert where you don't know how many snipers are around is not a good idea. The only way I can that happening is if they bring in a plane or copter and just drop a bomb or shoot at where the snipers were hiding out at or have one of those bombs they used to test out in the desert.

Agreed...A sniper wants to cause confusion and fear and hits the motherload if people come in to help those he has shot. Sometimes snipers will shoot to wound instead of kill just to get more to come out to help the fallen soldier.

God's and Generals

If not for the want of a few simple antibiotics. We would be wondering who will sing Dixie before the game Sunday.

10/10

Found another thing Bob is good at. He's apparently a master military tactician. ;)

Actually, Bob's right... you call for support, it's called artillery.

District 9 7/10

More impressed by the CGI than the storyline. How many implausible escapes can one man (mutant?) pull off?

Sherlock Holmes - 5/10

It wasn't a horrible movie but I was disappointed by it. Maybe it was the theatre I was in but through most of the movie you could barely hear what they were saying (though I've never had that issue with any other movie in this theatre) and it just seemed to drag on a lot.

That was a funny way to look at movies...from now on that's how I'm gonna approach reviewing movies.
Example:Braveheart...a guy who paints his face blue and gets chopped up at the end...pretty stupid.

You need to slap yourself for making such a horrible remark. :)

I still don't know what to think about this movie. I thought Downey and Law were good and the score was pretty good but there were times where I was bored out of my mind.

Thats some what how I felt. I thought they both did very good and it had its moments but the movie just bored me too much cause it just seemed like it went on and on and on.

An Education - 7/10

It was great until the end, when it just sort ended oddly.

Moon

8/10 or better

That movie certainly drew from a lot of other movies but I still thought it was very enjoyable and memorable. It is a little haunting.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - 8.5/10

Wow, I thought this was just a great movie. Maybe it was just the gravity of the subject matter, I don't know. I thought the performances were convincing and powerful and that the movie moved along at a perfect pace. Sure, maybe some of the issues in the film are over simplified or implausible, but I was willing to over look that. Totally recommended.

The Young Victoria

5/10

It's the first movie I watched on my iPhone while working out, so that earned it some points.

District 9-------8.5/10

I just watched it for the second time. The first time was online and the quality was poor. I got it in the mail from netflix yesterday and watched it this morning. It has become one of my favorite movies in the last decade.
