Review of We Were Soldiers (2002) by Jonathan M — 28 Sep 2008

I wish we could go back to the Mel of "Braveheart" and "Conspiracy Theory" (even "What Women Want"), but his publicist must hate him and as a result, I'm still holding a grudge.

I mean, tighten up! Britney's people are so good that I blame myself for her breakdown. It is really all my fault that Feds is a better parent, but I digress. Once I surrendered to my feelings about Mel (thank you, Oprah), I was really moved by this tribute to the soldiers who fought in Vietnam.

Most images we see from Vietnam vilify one side or the other, but "WWS" better balances the cruelty of war and the bravery of a brotherhood in arms and their families back home.
