Restrepo has been discussed on this BBS before. Pretty elite doc.

One of the film makers was killed in libya a couple months ago

Restrepo is uncinematic, unoriginal and unaffecting.

No reason it shouldn't have been.

I was not a huge fan of Restrepo....very typical imbedded stuff...very sad to say but i've become somewhat immune to the horrors of war.  we are so inundated with videos and images of dead people and body parts that it callouses me.  i hate that for those that are in it every day, they deserve better.

the best movies on my list are Anvil and American Movie...both are absolute joys to watch.  Man on Wire is also an excellent movie.  I just watched Talhotblond and while it is an incredible story, as a movie it leaves something to be desired.

Watched Wet Hot American Summer the other day.  Pretty low budget movie with Brad Cooper, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Michael Ian Black, and Elizabeth Banks.

Very "out there" as a comedy, but I liked it.
*Poetwarrior found this "movie" uninspiring.

I heard the "schooner" reference.

No. Was prepared to. But did not.

"It's kind of a funny story" was kind of a good movie.   :ck:  the suicidal chick was really hot for some reason.
