Getting ourselves killed is not going to make any difference to anyone except us.



Yet again Aldrich directs another great war film. The film is called Too Late the Hero. In many ways it is similar to the Dirty Dozen. One like the Dirty Dozen it stars two cast members from the Flight of the Phoenix. The Dozen had Ernest Borgnine and George Kennedy while Two Late has Ronald Frazer and Ian Bannen. It also has a mission that goes deep into enemy territory and will kill about 85% to 90% of those involved. The cast includes Micheal Caine, Cliff Robertson, Harry Andrews and Henry  Fonda. This is also one of my favorite Caine performances. Ken Takakura's role as Maj. Yamaguchi is also very good. Watch it.

You're all going to die!



Zulu is a great war film with a great cast which includes Jack Hawkins, Stanley Baker and Michael Caine in his first major role which in my opinion is one of his best performances.  Hawkins had already starred in the war classics The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia and Baker had starred in the Guns of Naverone. The score was composed by the late great John Barry and is one of my favorites of all his scores and one of my favorite war themes. The film is based on a true story about the British in South Africa during the late 1870's. The first shot shows the Battle of Isandlwana where 1,300 British troops were killed after being overwhelmed by the Zulu's who lost 1,000 men in the battle. So a group of about 90 British soldiers some of whom are wounded must fight off thousands of Zulu's. It is a very good war film and a must watch if you are looking for a good war film.

Mr. Cobb has a job offer he'd like to discuss with you.

Last night I had a dream that I was at the Riverveiw watching  a movie called Inception and that it starred   Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page and also  the great, super awesome,  really cool Micheal Caine . My favorite thing about this film is that it stars Michael Caine who plays  Prof. Stephen Miles. Cobb's mentor, father-in-law and Ariadne's college professor who recommends her to the team. In my opinion the line up top is one of the best lines in the movie because it is said by Michael Caine. Without Caine this movie would have not been as good. Even though his role is minor it is still the best performance in the movie.  This picture from the film  has Micheal Caine in it and is 100% good. If it just had Leo and no Caine it would only be 50% good. Micheal makes any movie he's in shine.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.







last week I watched the Dark Knight With Christian Bale as Batman where along with the help of Harvey Dent played by Aaron Eckhart and James Gordon played by Gary Oldman they must ride Gotham city of all criminals. They manage to get all but one The sick and crazed Joker played by Heath Leger. Micheal Cane and Morgan Freeman are both reasons this film is good. Leger beats out Nicholson,Romero and Hamill who played joker in the animated t.v show. He is by far the best Joker ever. Here is Cane's line as Alfred.

Well, let's see, that's natives 8, oil workers 0. Anyone else wanna play with Cupcake?


This film has Steven Segal that alone should tell you what a peace of crap it is. I watched it only because it stars Michael Caine.
