Allies (2014)
This is what you need to know.
The people that say this movie is "sensational" are obviously connected with it somehow. Or they should have their IMDb review privileges suspended. That being said, the movie isn't all that bad, especially for those of us that crave any new World War II movies we can get our hands on. Most of the problems are technical. It looks like much of the film went straight from the video camera to the final cut without any processing in between. It needed a much better cinematographer.
Many of the special effects were a little rough including some mortar hits or mines or something that looked like an air cannon or fire extinguisher shooting up out of the ground.
The other comments about the movie needing a better military adviser are spot on. Some of the tactics in the movie are not seen in any other film. Like keeping your men grouped really tightly as you move through the woods and fields. Or standing in a long "civil war-esque" line while you fire your weapons.
But I did not regret watching this movie and recommended it to my father who is also a WWII movie buff. You could do far worse.
Two and a Half Men: Nice to Meet You, Walden Schmidt (2011)
Jon Cryer has always been the show.
The clouds have parted and we now see that Jon Cryer has always been the center of Two and a Half Men. Sure Charlie Sheen had more of the cheap jokes and one-liners. But substitute any other Hollywood star and the easy one-liners will still be funny. I have never really liked Ashton Kutcher but the incredible writers and director have made sure he fits in. Jake, Berta, Judith, and Mom are all peripheral to the predicaments of Alan. Thankfully CBS did not try to create another Charlie Harper. Eight seasons of Charlie was enough. With this fresh start, Two and a Half Men will probably last another eight seasons. Bravo CBS.
