Awesome

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2004)

I saw this movie for the first time about three months ago. Since then I have seen about seven times. I even went out and bought it from a local movie store. I think it is genius, and especially for its time. I have read a good deal of reviews that don't give enough credit. I am not sure if it is the 16th greatest movie ever, but it definitely ranks top 50. As a black-comedy I think that it is brilliant and at times down right funny. "You can't fight in the war room," is a great example of irony and it is just funny. As a fan of Kubricks films (Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket) this is my favorite, mainly because it isn't quite as depressing and serious, despite the horrifying subject. Overall a great film and surely worth owning.
