maybe the worst thing i have seen lately, and the writer(s) and director should learn something about the military

Like I take any reviews around here seriously. Remember Wing Commander?
By the way, National Treasure has already made its way to the bargain bin at Wally World. 3 bucks down from 20.

Is Lukemania the same guy who's looking for his dick in Pat's Comics? I think Whiskey should give the review, he seems to be the smartest guy on the whole website.

I've seen worse movies, like the Amityville Horror. Ranking this against airplane movies puts it somewhere between Iron Eagle 3 and Iron Eagle 4.

I liked Stealth. I thought the story was good, and the FX were awesome. OK maybe it wasn't that realistic, but I wasn't expecting it to be. I thought it did however raise some interesting questions that the REAL military must be dealing with now. Now I will agree it was no Top Gun but, it was worth watching at the theater and I will probably watch it again on DVD. Hey it was a hell of a lot better than War of the Worlds.

I think "Stealth" is brought to you by the same people responsible for "2Fast 2Furious" and "Torque." By the way, National Treasure has already made its way to the bargain bin at Wally World. 3 bucks down from 20. So you are allowing the typical Wal-Mart shopper to determine what movies are worth your viewing? Good luck with Shrek 7, Care Bears in Hawaii, and Pure Country 2.

At what point from my comment did you deduce that influences my habits? I was merely doing you a favor. Judging by the receipts haphazardly littering your kitchen table, methinks you protest a bit much concerning Walmart.

Clearly, your intent was to besmirch my position that National Treasure was an enjoyable movie by pointing out its status at Wal-Mart, which, I feel is not a good barometer for judging a film's merit! You can find The Lost Boys in the bargain bin as well, are you going to suggest that it is not a good flick?
Plus, you recommended Chronicles of Riddick, which I unfortunately watched. You owe it to me to see Nat Treasure for that debacle alone. I promise you, Nat Treasure is better than Riddick. Christ, the foil was hardly in the movie (thankfully), and the secondary heel had a bigger mullet than Auntie Entity!
And those are not my reciepts. I prefer to get all the swearing and grat. nudity I can in movies, and Wal-Mart does not excell in that regard.

Riddick was a sequel...which means that it was a least followed by some people from Pitch Black. See if that shitpile known as National Treasure makes good on it's 'success' with a sequel. Even then sir, Riddick was on the comfort of your own couch more or less free...rather than dropping 20 bucks at the theater.
Lets see...Lost Boys mid 80's bargain bin. National Treasure last year bargain bin.

Oh, and your boy Morton almost went to the pokey Saturday night. Something about needing chicken wings at a high rate of speed.

Even then sir, Riddick was on the comfort of your own couch more or less free...rather than dropping 20 bucks at the theater. Lets see...Lost Boys mid 80's bargain bin. National Treasure last year bargain bin. Bruckheimer movies never have sequels...and not due to lack of success. How do you know its a shitpile? You can suspend your disbelief for "Necromongers" but not a treasure for the founding fathers? I do want to show you the seen that your blog buddy dismissed the whole movie over, and for that matter, after reviewing it, I'm not sure that a nail pulled from a piece of would wouldn't be shiny after 200 years. The wood does protect it from moisture you know (the shaft of the nail was shiny, not the head) and strips it as it is pulled free. The wastes that movie shop at walmart, have never even heard of the constitution, much less would they spend their hard-earned smoke money to buy a movie about it...they only buy movies that will quieten down their four or five children so they can brew some meth in peace and hear the fuzz when it comes! Whether free or not, "Riddick" cost me 2 hours of my life which I can never get back. As for Morton, it shouldn't surprise us that whilst his shuttle faces certain doom upon re-entry, he is worried about getting some chicken wings and beer.

Yeah, he appreciates all the concern and blame heaped his way for the shuttle's junk as well. The kicker is the cop made him lock up his SUV and walk home. In hindsight he said he should have worn shoes.
Science Fiction allows for a greater suspension of disbelief in my opinion...practices and technology unheard of on our world may be common elsewhere. I can buy into that.
As a historian however, you should know better than to allow that tired Masonry treasure horseshit. You know how badly the Continental Army had it at Valley Forge, and indeed before Saratoga it looked as if we would not only lose the war, but lose badly. Suspend the disbelief that a treasure( that could be used to buy Hessian mercs, rather than be killed by them...or bribe the French to come in quicker) would sit idle while your nascent republic faces annihilation? Please.

If you had seen the movie, they explain that. And I don't think it was meant to be taken as a treatice on history.
I didn't hear you bitch when Maverick inverted over the MIG in Topgun.
As for Riddick, there was no "Science" in that "fiction"!

As for Riddick, there was no "Science" in that "fiction"! Glib, and not a debate point. If I may take a page from your own book, I could easily say the same about any science fiction that we mutually have watched. If I was going to bitch about Top Gun, it would be the bastardy of passing off F-5's as Mig 28's...or the underuse of Michael Ironside. I am glad they explained it to your...ahem...satisfaction, but I won't trade the knowledge of how they explain it for the assraping the movie theater fares gives you in order to know how they justify irresponsibility sitting on war capital.
