Some Might Forget, others... well perhaps not.

The Alamo.
A part of history that is hard to forget, even though there is still a lot we don't know about it. This movie, which has gotten a lot of crap from certain people (There Mascot is a Jackass, that's all I will say) is a solid enough movie, it's a shame it made only spot #4 opening weekend.
Naturally, with most films, I had my beefs. I thought Dennis Quaid was a mistake for the film (even though normally he is a very good actor) it felt as if this movie wasn't for him.
Billy Bob Thornton, not only captured the essence of David Crockett, but made his character historically accurate with his performance, and makes Crockett seem all the more a hero than I ever thought he was. The movie was good, not great, and I am not too sure how to describe what kept it from being GREAT, but this is a film that is worth the time of day.
