Remind's me of a book I read in the public library once when I was a kid.
It was called"Tramp in Armour"about a matilda that was caught behind german lines
during the battle of france.Of coarse the crew were more interested in getting
back to their own lines alive not winning the war singlehandedly.



Jellicoe -> RE: New War Picture Gentlemen (8/4/2014 6:59:15 PM)

Written by Colin Forbes. Good book but I preferred his 'Palermo Ambush'



wegman58 -> RE: New War Picture Gentlemen (8/5/2014 11:33:53 AM)

I read Tramp in Armor when I was a kid too. LONG time ago.

When I read outnumbered and behind enemy lines in 1945 in a tank, figured the movie would be about Task Force Baum, no such luck.

Yeah, one of Georgies mistakes.

Pitt's better than Affleck by a power of 10, I believe. He read the script before taking the job.

A review.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJFinraxkzg

The reviewer states that David Ayer's recent work (to be positive) is "consistent" and "predictable". Oh dear.... [:(]

(If something works...)




geofflambert -> RE: New War Picture Gentlemen (8/22/2014 10:30:27 PM)

I expect Pitt to be brilliant as usual. I'm thinking it will be worth seeing but painful, because of the graphic violence, not Ben Affleck's presence. Any day without Affleck is like a day full of sunshine. [:D] Every great movie I've ever seen has had critics aplenty. I want to see this one in the theatre and not wait for it on cable.

Brad Pitt defeating Nazi Germany all on his own in his Sherman with semi realistic (at best) battle scenes. Feels like the "movie that should not be named" on land.



rockmedic109 -> RE: New War Picture Gentlemen (8/24/2014 4:04:34 PM)

Any war movie coming out now, particuliarly if it is hyped, is going to be compared to "movie that shall not be named". It is unfair, but it is also true.

I remember when the "movie that shall not be named" came out. It even had a 2 hour TV special that was basically advertisement. I was laying in a hospital bed bemoaning my ill luck to be broken and missing the chance to go see the movie. I later found out that it was one more silver lining to the event that began by getting hit by a rockslide while driving home.

Achilles was a tank, so it will be a tank within a tank.

Is it really an impossibility to make a good movie set in either one of the world wars? There hasn't been one since the 1980s that I have seen besides the documentary Tali-Ihantala and HBO series Pacific and Band of Brothers. [:(]

Other than 'Saving Private Ryan' & the examples you mentioned, the only ones I can think of are 'Das Boot' & 'Stalingrad' - the 1993 release from Bavaria Studios (they also produced Das Boot, not the 2013 movie).

Advanced Squad Leader grognards will appreciate the depiction of 'Sewer Movement' in this movie.
