A young cast of men are put on an Island to eradicate the Japanese forces that are bunkered down and ready for a fight. Don’t blink when the storming of the beaches or you will be sorry. It looks just like the movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’ on of the events of June 1944, see Battle of Normandy beginning battle.
What's great about it: Legendary Director Clint Eastwood
The story from the Japanese point of view of World War II is to some a welcomed dilemma. Clint Eastwood tells how the Japanese soldiers’ code of ethics comes into play for warfare. Honor is everything to them. It has very graphic battlefields; with a tease of humor, compassion, and respect for the enemy.

What's not so great: some people don't like sub-titles
Babel is a very creative plot that covers the U.S., Mexico, Afghanistan, and Japan. It starts in one country and the story moves to other characters around the world. Each one has something in common. You must pay attention from start to finish. To even comprehend their heart felt lives from highs and lows.
This release of the BBC/Discovery Channel co-production Blue Planet, paired with the blockbuster series Planet Earth, features everything included in the prior release of each series, plus additional bonus materials that allow viewers to explore the wondrous creatures found deep in the Amazon, a shark-infested underwater volcano in the Cocos Islands, a winter estuary made visually stunning by the tide, and the many wonders of Antarctica.

Pretty sights and sounds. Crazy places and animals I never seen before. Covering the land and deep sea. Those animals are just like us. Eat, sleep, and mate.
What's great about it: Nice info. of interesting animals
I wish the battle scenes were longer. The movie might have been better if they used someone else as Achilles then Brad Pitt. It just didn't give me the same punch as did the movie "Gladiator".
What's great about it: the beach filling with blood
This is a must see for all WW2 movie buffs to see. It's amazing what these men had to do to survive battle after battle. The interviews of these men who were there is breath taking. War is truly agony.
What's great about it: Excellent stories from the men who were there
They should have killed off the FF4 at the very beginning of the movie and left only Silver Surfer vs. Dr. Doom. Then it would have been 5 out of 5 stars. The characters are just so lame. I just hope they don’t make another one.

It has all the ingredients you need in a good movie. (Family, hero’s, villains, blood, sweat, and tears.) The story plot works well with the characters. It has a great cast, music, and trauma. Let’s not forget the fighting of Romans, barbarians, gladiators, and animals.
What's great about it: Roman Empire timeline
What's not so great: the ending could of been better
Probably one of the most honored epics on recent television, HBO's mini-series Band of Brothers was produced by the powerhouse team of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. It won the Golden Globe for Best Mini-series and is nominated for 19 Emmys. The 6-disc DVD set comes in an embossed metallic case. It has an extraordinary amount of information in addition to the 10-part true-life story of the men of Easy Company in the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. To start with, it contains the documentary "We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company," which interviews the real men of Easy Company as they tell their stories, inner-cut with film footage and rare and archival photos. Also included is a making-of feature on the mini-series, actor Ron Livingston's video diary that shows behind-the-scenes footage from the actor's perspective, and a featurette of the screening on the beaches of Normandy. There is also an optional enhanced viewing "Field Guide," which extensively references people, places and events connected to Easy Company and their campaign through Europe and WWII as a whole. Additionally included are character bios, web-links to the Band of Brothers living memorial, as well as other pertinent sites, a still photo gallery, episodic previews and scene selection menus. The DVD is released in widescreen only with a 16:9 aspect ratio from High Definition digital masters, the audio is DTS English and 5.1 Surround as well as English, French and Spanish Dolby Surround. Spanish subtitles and English closed-captioning is also included. This is a must-own DVD set, especially for history buffs and collectors of World War II information.

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are one of the best at war movies if not the best today. This movie is based on events from the real men who fought their hearts out across Europe. You will laugh and cry with these men on their journey to help ending the worst wars of all time.
What's great about it: Real life events
What's not so great: Only wish World War II was longer
The second chapter in the "Bourne Trilogy," based on Robert Ludlum's best-selling espionage novels, reaches the screen in this sequel to the 2002 thriller The Bourne Identity. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) has abandoned his life as a CIA assassin and has been traveling beneath the agency's radar, eventually reconnecting with Marie Kreutz (Franka Potente), the woman he loves. But Bourne is haunted by vivid dreams and troubling memories of his days as a killer, and he's not certain how much really happened and how much is a product of his imagination. When Bourne is led out of hiding by circumstances beyond his control, he must reconcile his past and present as he struggles to keep Marie out of harm's way and foil an international incident with dangerous consequences. The Bourne Supremacy also features Joan Allen as one of Webb's superiors, while Julia Stiles and Brian Cox reprise their roles as intelligence agents from the first film.

Are friend Jason Bourne is a master hit man, cleaner, marshal artists, fighter, weapons specialist, killer, con artists, etc. He’s the perfect man for the job. The story starts up from the first movie of Jason running from the police and the U.S. government agencies. He eventually finds the men responsible for one of the screwed up jobs he completed.
What's great about it: really liked the Russians hit man involvement
