Apocalypse Then

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2004)

I finally got around to watching Black Hawk Down last night owing to it being too early to go to bed and yet me being too tired to do anything other than sleep or stare mindlessly at the tv. It was strangely Apocalypse Nowish in places, I suppose all war movies end up a bit 70's Vietnamish. I really liked it, there were lots of cute boys although they did wear far too much clothing including big helmets that made it really hard to tell who was who. I spent a lot of the time going, "Where is Ewan?" Ewan rocked in it way more than blubbery cry baby Josh Hartnett, he also got rockets shot at him way more than anybody else. I think he dived out of the way of a rocket about 7 or 8 times. I'm sure Andrew can give a far more comprehensive list of who in it was cute so I won't bother. Orli wasn't in it enough, of course, but then I knew that before I saw it. At least they didn't kill him. I also watched the doccie on the DVD, they need to bring out a Big Brother style doccie just on them at boot camp, that would be awesome. I also really liked the songs that played over the credits at the end.
