Summary: The First War Movie I Have Ever Liked
Review: I have never liked war movies, but this movie is so chock full of moral and political ambiguities that I enjoyed it very much. The actors were excellent, the camera work is dizzying and to the point and the soundtrack put everything into perspective. All in all, a movie to make you think about what's right and wrong in times of war.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Film
Review: I have not seen any previous work by David O. Russell, so I wasn't sure what to think when I watched this film. Critics seemed to think it was very good, one of the best movies of the year in fact. Now after watching the film, I have to say that David O. Russell is an outstanding filmmaker. I think he just isn't know by many people because he hasn't made a movie that was a really really big blockbuster that could have his name written all over it. Three Kings does say 'A David O. Russell Film', but I think this film is catered to a smaller audience then other films. The acting in the movie was great. I especially liked George Clooney as Archie Gates, and Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube were excellent as well. The visual style of the film, such as film stocks and special effects, was different from any film I've seen before and I have to say that I really liked this style. Overall, this is an outstanding movie with great acting, directing, and visuals.

Sidenote: The DVD also includes a large handful of extras that are both informative and fun to watch. This DVD is simply a must-own!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: BACK HAND SWIPE AT BUSH 41
Review: "Three Kings" starred the ultra-liberal George Clooney in a convoluted story of U.S. soldiers trying to get rich in war torn 1991 Iraq, possibly re-creating the theme of Clint Eastwood's 1970 film "Kelly's Heroes". "Kings" is not a highly political story, but leaves little doubt that it views the first President Bush's war in Iraq, particularly the Kurdish uprising that he encouraged and did not back, as a cynical American lie.
