"Act of Valor’". Apparently its anti Hollywood too :-)
« on: February 14, 2012, 04:35:53 PM »
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/we-got-a-private-screening-of-act-of-valor-and-heres-some-things-we-found-out/

This one quote from some dipshit from "markdown.com" reminds me how far up their ass the mouth breathers heads are. He is just realizing this now??!! He must have always thought it was magic that we live in a free country. At least he figured it out sooner than later.

"Keith Ferry of Markdown.com said that throughout the film he was constantly thinking about “how overused words like honor, bravery, sacrifice and hero are in our everyday lives.“ Ferry said that this movie allowed him to gain ”a completely different perspective and appreciation on what those words really mean and how lucky we all are to live in a country where there are men and women like the Seals in the movie that truly represent the definition of those words.”

Here is a review by Kenneth "Le Douchebag" Turan of the LA Times.

"these total warriors can't really act, a situation that may not matter in combat but has to be characterized as a drawback in a motion picture. Yes, the SEALs have easygoing charisma to spare, but the intensely masculine comradeship that is their stock in trade goes only so far when dialogue needs to be recited."

Apparently he is disappointed that Sean Penn and Clooney didn't get to star in and intentionally skull f*ck this film.

Wait.  He wants 'actors' because they can 'act' like the real thing...  Over THE REAL THING?

just saw the flick.  beginning was kind of slow but it picked up .  I don't want to reveal any spoilers but all in all it was worth my 11 bucks to go out and see.  In danbury, folks actually clapped at the end of the movie; I have not seen that in a long while. 

I was looking for some "hollywood glitch" in their manual of arms, tactics, etc.  I am not an operator by any stretch of the imagination but nonetheless I did not see any.  all in all, it was professionally done and seamless.  I guess that is what you get if you get active duty SEAL operators to show what they can do.

I wonder if this flick will have the "Top Gun" efffect of boosting the Navy's recruitment.  I am still wondering how the producers were able to convinced the Navy to have them used their personnel and hardware for the flick. 

in any case...Hooyaaa, Navy.
