another dry Eastwood effort, I think his directing style matches the story and Cooper's dry personality - PhilJ 18:28:42 01/17/15 (0)

"American Sniper:" strictly by-the-numbers filmmaking. Cooper is very good, but nothing especially revelatory - tinear 11:04:23 01/17/15 (2)

Bradley was as transformative as Billy Bob in 'Sling Blade' . . . - Billy Wonka 18:16:01 01/17/15 (1)

I've never understood that opinion comment, for 2 reasons. - tinear 21:13:43 01/17/15 (0)

My point was that canonizing military personnel, glorifying what they do, - tinear 08:42:18 01/18/15 (0)

You must REALLY hate artillerymen, bomber pilots, drone operators, gunship pilots, who "assasinate" the noble - Road Warrior 18:23:39 01/17/15 (10)
