Scrapper_511 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Best Buy had HBO's Generation Kill DVD collection on sale for about $26US so I decided to pick it up. It ain't no Band of Brothers, but it's still pretty cool. It's not all Hollywood'ed up so its pretty realistic. I like the spin on different leadership styles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFViper19D Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah, loved this show. My wife loved it too but mostly due to my not "nitpicking" it apart as I do with a lot of cheesy military movies. :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapper_511 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Here's another realistic war movie: Wind Talkers, pause.....NOT!It might've actually been bearable had it not been for the cheesed out, over the top, pyrotechnics. Every single explosion in that movie had a mushroom fireball. Okay, I over exaggerate, but so do them explosions. Seriously, the explosions were over-done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasder Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It's a very good series in my eyes. It can be bought as "import" at a few places here in Sweden. But at around 600-700SEK for the box that's close to 100SEK per episode. Expensive but it's a very good series. I am waiting for the swedish release with a lower pricetag and subtitles.To help with currency values to illustrate the swedish prices...100SEK is...8.87 Euros11.44 USD (close to 70USD for the box compared to the 26USD mentioned above)Anyways, I enjoyed this series. I am yet to see the last episode though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejawolf Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 some of the actors in this series were actually recon marines, playing as themselves, and are still active duty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM505 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Rudi Reyes plays himself, and Eric Kocher is also in there, but not as himself. Very enjoyable viewing. I read the book quite a while ago, and the series is true to the book.'We didn't fight well - we fought retarded' - something like that, a good quote! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
