over summer vacation I have found loads of time to watch movies, TONS of movies, hell so many I can't remeber them all, most good, some okay, and one or two really bad ones. so I thought I would help you all out and type up a list of movies to see, movies that are okay, and bad movies.

all movies were viewed on wide screen format DVD. the ONLY way to watch movies.

A glimpse of hell - based on a true story, navy scandle cover up regarding USS Iowa battleship onboard tragedy, good movie, good acting, alot of the "whipping boy" feel (the main charector was always whipped) if your into navy films this is one to see.

Special Forces - I don't know where to begin on this one, but this movie sucked the big one. bad acting, bad voice sync (over half the movie was over recorded and the recording didn't match the film, one hell of a way to trick you out.) bad story, lots of guns and neck breaking, but this movie sucked, stay away from it.

Black Hawk Down - Great movie, based on a true story, definatly a movie to pick up and watch.

Hearts War - This is a toughy set in WWII its a fiction story about a German POW camp and a bunch of captured americans, bruce willis the main charector, tells the story of racisim that existed in the armed forces. its not the greatest, and a true story would have been nice, overall a movie to see if you've seen all the "good ones"

Spy Kids - cute for the family, if you have kids, and they haven't seen this movie, see it. its cute with a cute story.

Spy Games - this movie was okay, about the CIA dealing with an operative who got caught trying to bust his Girlie friend out of the chinese slammer, to much beurocracy not enough GUNS! it really did show how the CIA would possibly deal with the situation sitting around a conference table discussing options, but too much of EVIL CIA DICTATORS played through in this movie. The acting was over done IMO aswell not from the main charector but from the supporting actors. if your into this kind of film, watch it, if not stay away from it.

CON Express - a factitous story of a custom agent and his team that go crash a russian mobs party get blown away, FBI was after them big shoot out, see boobs, okay movie, if you like hot russian chicks and boob scenes, watch it, if you like a moderate action flick see it, but not a reccomendation.

I have watched a ton of other films and will be typing up more shorts soon.

Excellent choices by the way, narzy.

I got the Black Hawk Down disc for free becuae I bought a Dell. It is a good movie. I didn't really know the story until I saw the movie, and then I did some reading. That sucked for our troops...

Black Hawk Down rocked. I was lucky to see it before it's nationwide release in LA. Waited in line for 2 hours for it. Most worthwhile 2 hours of waiting in my life. It's definitely one that should have been seen in the theatre for the experience.

if we're all recommending movies, then i guess I'll be the first to recommend Saving Private Ryan. It's one of those movies you can keep watching over and over again.

Also Evil Dead 2 if you want some good comedy :)
