My wife and I don't see many movies at the theaters, because we don't care to support immoral Hollywood that is pro-Sodomite, and has been know to support nefarious enemies of America... but I enjoyed that particular movie--having been a crew member/ door gunner in Huey's through out my 2 tours of duty in Vietnam: 68-70, and love flying. <br />I am not a coward-- and there fore always show my name, instead of hiding under a rock. <br /><br />Tom Schuckman<br />tschuckman@aol.com<br />Wisconsin, USAHeli gunner Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793588674806453096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2226638020593435214.post-6003007844575807782010-01-09T17:23:24.634-08:002010-01-09T17:23:24.634-08:00Susannah,

Don't know about the others. The latest movie my Husb. & I saw was Blindside. LOVED that one.<br /><br />My list of films includes mostly 'older' movies, just b/c we got so behind on the current ones when our kids were little.

You can tell that the director has a lot of love for the original source material.

I want to see the rest, although my enthusiasm for Avatar is not high.
