Movie reviews this week

Well, here i am again with this week films. I am quite developing an addiction for war movies. so here we go:
1. Victory aka Escape to victory (1981)
This is quite an amazing movie inspired by the true story of soccer matches played between Nazi Germany and occupied eastern Europe basically Ukraine in 2nd Great war. Quite an amazing match between the German National Football Team and Allied prisoners of war lead by cool "Michael Caine" and supported by great Pele and Stallone. This movie is simply superb. Worth watching. 9 points out of 10.

2. Crimson Tide (1995)
Very impressive film by Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Its quite a way to prevent a nuclear Holocaust. I like the one liner from Hackman "We preserve democracy, we don't practice it". Denzel Washington stages a mutiny against his commanding officer (Hackman) in order to make sure that the order to strike Russia are same or changed. 8 out of 10 points.

3. 12' O Clock High (1949)
I became a fan of Gregory Peck after watching "The guns of Navarone" almost a month back. This movie is about inspiring a depleted US Air force division fighting in Europe in mid of second World War. This movie is about developing leadership qualities and finding the maximum effort of a person. 6 points out of 10.

4. Battleground (1949)
Another movie inspired from the great battle of Bulge in DEC 1944. I am not quite impressed by this movie to be very honest. 4 out of 10 points.

5. Fashion (2008)
I love Priyanka in the movie. She looked absolute stunning in the movie. Movie is full of trash and without any substance. I will give 4 points (for Piggy Chops) out of 10.

6. Thirteen Days (2000)
This movie is about Cuban missile crisis in October 1962 and depicts the thirteen days of utter crisis and also shows the chasm between the democratic leaders and the Military of USA. JFK, his bro and Kenny looked phenomenal. Quite a good movie to educate oneself about the ugly days of Cold war. 8 out of 10 points.

7. Lion of the Desert (1981)
Its story about the Libyan freedom movement against the Fascist regime of Italy 1920's. Movie renders the story of a teacher turned freedom movement leader Omar Mukhtar (played by Anthony Quin). I have also seen another movie "The message" directed by the same director Moustapha Akkad and acted in lead role by Anthony Quin and was quite impressed. This movie although quite realistic but some how misses the magic. Overall i will give 6 points out of 10.
8. Saints and Soldiers (2004)
Another movie inspired by the Malmedy massacre in the Battle of the Bulge (1944). Although the plot was very good the movie is not magical. 4 out of 10 points.
