"The Victors"

 

"A group of American soldiers manages to survive over the course of World War II, from the Battle of Britain to the fall of the Third Reich. Along the way, a number of unfortunate incidents occur. White soldiers violently abuse fellow black soldiers, a deserter is summarily executed on New Year's Eve and a sergeant takes advantage of a shell-shocked French woman. War is hell for the winners and the losers in this episodic meditation on the horrors that exist on and off the field of battle." Not sure about this anti-war flick I guess it leaves you in a strange state which is probably what it wants.  Give it a go below and see what you think.


It's a weird one,

The novel by Alexander Baron in which the movie was inspired.

"Reveille"

 

"In November 1943, a group of American soldiers and their wounded German prisoners are forced to confront their mutual humanity when taking cover together after a skirmish in central Italy."  This low-budget flick wasn't worth a shit.  Give the trailer a go below and see what you think.

Pass,

"The Final Stand"

 

"Cadets from the Podolsk infantry and artillery schools are sent to fight alongside units from the Soviet 43rd Army outside Moscow in 1941, holding back the German advance while hopelessly outnumbered until reinforcements arrive."  This was a really good flick so give the trailer a go below and see what you think.


A great flick!

"Desert Rats"

 
 
This was a teaser trailer for a film that seemed to have never been completed. Give it a for all the same for some cool visuals.


Looked like it could've been a good flick,

"The Auschwitz Report"

 

"Two young Slovak Jews escape from Auschwitz and make their way back to Slovakia to report the systematic genocide at the camp to the authorities." This was a really good but hard to watch flick.  Give the trailer a go below and see what you think.


A great flick,

"The Fox"

 

"At the dawn of WW2, a young soldier encounters a wounded fox cub and takes it with him to occupied France. The story of an unlikely friendship."  This was surprisingly good flick.  Give the trailer a go and see what you think. 


We enjoyed it,
Brian & Mel

"1944"

 

"During WWII in 1944, war rages on as German soldiers fight invading Russian forces. But while the two great nations clash, Estonian men are forced to choose sides and face each other on the battlefield. Based on true events."  I always enjoy these movies where folks who where tied together before the war are now found against each other.  Just illustrates the insanity of fucking war and that if we ALL just refused to fall into that madness, we could just live our lives in peace.  Be strong and tell those who would sell your life for THEIR cause, to go fuck themselves. 


Worth a watch,
Brian & Mel
