As we all know, for years Hollywood has had this obsession with trying to make the American military and the wars it has fought into nothing more than heartless chest-thumping rage machines who maim and kill innocents indiscriminately (remember Brian De Palma? ‘Nuff said). Kevin at Pundit Review has news about an upcoming HBO [...]

Take a Chance on This You won't regret it I have to tell you about this. A few days ago when I turned on the telly it opened on some HBO channel from the night before.

MoSup was out doing something, and...

This trailer to a new HBO movie, "Taking Chance," (release date February 21), will bring tears to your eyes. It's about a Marine killed in combat being brought home for burial. We owe him - and all those like him - so much. * We also owe Blackfive a debt of gratitude for making the movie happen and bringing the story to us.

About 4 and half years ago, a letter was posted on BLACKFIVE that can bring tears to my eyes just in remembrance. I thought, at that time, and until just recently, that this story would just be another of those human interest stories of the US that never sees widespread distribution. Taking Chance Chance Phelps was wearing his Saint Christopher medal when he was killed on Good Friday. Eight days later,...

Take a moment to watch this trailer for "Taking Chance," a fact-based story about an officer who accompanies the body of a 19-year-old Marine killed in Iraq. It doesn't purport to take a stand on the Iraq War, but it does clearly show a reverence for the military and portrays people that don't hold a disdain for war as a senseless endeavor. In this way, the film stands in stark contrast to the slew...
