Dead, or alive, we all come home together. So help me, God.

In a lot of ways, this is the movie that The Green Berets should have been.

Kaboom Review

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

If you’re here, I thought you’d be interested in checking Kaboom Review, another movie review site run by Mike Blitz. He focuses primarily on action movies and does a great job, so if that’s your cup of tea, head on over and check it out.

Even if you disagree with Stone’s politics and find fault with his later work, it’s hard to dispute the sincerity and brutal honesty he brings to this film.
