Red Tails A must see film.

I can't wait for this film. A P-51 taking on an ME-262

I have been fortunate to see the Redtail P-51 often, as my friend happens to be the gentleman in charge of the project.  It has been an amazing project from the ground up.

Let's just hope the love for special effects does not take over both the story and common sense, as it so often happens in movies lately.

I read a book about these gents back a decade or more ago.  One of the pilots, when asked what made them so successful in their role as bomber escort, replied "We did our job.  We stayed with the bombers.  If Jerry took off for home or never engaged, we stayed with the bombers.  Point and shoot at him if he entered the box, but, otherwise, stay with the bombers.  And we had done SO much training for so long, that we just KNEW what to do when it came to doing it.  That came from keeping us in training for so long."

Kinda of pround and humble at the same time, don't ya think?

The Bad Unkie Strikes!

I was thoroughly disappointed by this film.

If anyone has seen the Red Letter Media review, they're pretty much spot on.

Heh, I remember when Pearl Harbor came out.

The previews were all great action scenes and it looked really exciting.

Then I saw the horrible cast (I refuse to watch anything with Ben Affleck in it) and I knew it was going to be a piece of excrement.  Sure enough it was just a mushy chick flick with a few airplanes in it.

Now it has a 5.6 rating at IMDb, in my opinion far more than it deserves.
