Quote: "Gibney keeps his viewers engaged until the very end, and not one section in this important film is boring."

Quote: "If Surrender -- Hell! tried only to be the survivalist adventure that it starts out as, it probably would have been a lot better, serving as an innocuous low-budget actioner. Unfortunately, the real intent of the films isn't to portray a man surviving the wild, but to show an American rallying the savages to take down the crafty, but ultimately inferior, Japanese forces."

Quote: "What a fantastic way to soak up history!"

Quote: "In March of 1935, the world's first television broadcasting service went on the air with the words 'Heil, Hitler.'"

Quote: "Shepitko had a unique cinematic voice, and this is a great opportunity to hear it. While Wings wouldn't be worth buying on its own, it adds depth and texture to The Ascent, which alone is worth the price of admission."

Quote: "The sad truth is, Starship Troopers 3: Marauder just never gets going. Sure, there are plenty of action sequences, but it's all filmed in such a staid manner that it's difficult to care."

Reviewed by Jim Thomas
Quote: "The problem with this film isn't that it takes liberties with history; it's often done for dramatic effect. The problem is that there doesn't appear to be any advantage gained from the changes that were made. The final result is a jumbled mess, full of characters we don't care about."

Quote: "Those who've made their way through the great war pictures and need something new are especially encouraged to give this flick a shot."

Reviewed by Tom Becker
Quote: "While the film ostensibly concerns returning Iraq war veterans and the repercussions of the military's stop-loss policy, it is so larded with conventions, contrivances, and cliches that it seems pieced together from a bunch of different scripts."

Reviewed by David Ryan
Quote: "Sprawling, beautiful, and extremely well-acted, it's the kind of film Hollywood simply doesn't make anymore."
