Review: Flyboys
Jun. 11th, 2007 02:47 pmThis movie came out for like two minutes back in the fall and I netflixed it out of boredom.
It is one of the best war films I have ever seen, not to mention best anti-war films I've ever seen. It's about Americans who joined the Lafayette Escadrille prior to the US entering WW1. It has some of the best camera work and SFX I have ever seen. You look at those little planes and wonder who would get in them, let alone do dogfights in them under fire. My TV is smaller than my desktop PC screen and I was utterly blown away; I am deeply bummed I didn't see this film in the theater. As it is I still felt a little woozy during the flight sequences. I don't think I can really recommend this movie enough!

In other news Scott signed the lease on a 2 BR house with a huge yard and converted garage in TX. We move in after the Japan trip. Squee!!
