    Buffalo Soldiers

    One of the 2 films i watched yesterday(there'll be a thread about the other one in a sec )

    Very good movie, set in germany before the fall of the berlin wall in a us army base, shows just what goes on when soldiers get bored

    good script backed up by a very good slightly under-rated cast of Joaquin Phoenix, Anna paquin and ed harris among others.

    Not gonna give awa too much about the story but its a blinding film imo, highly recomended.

    Agreed, incredibly funny in parts, the scene with the tank is absolute genius.
    Was originally delayed after September 11th because it paints US troops in a less than flattering light.

    Very cool film, IMO. Good soundtrack too, provided by David Holmes.

    Good, certainly, but not great in my opinion
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
