Has anyone seen the movie "The Kingdom of Heaven"? Besides the thing that the movie is very well made, the character of Salahuddin acted very well in that movie. I liked the character so much that I got tempted to keep the name of this blog after it.

Cowboy country

Yet another action movie, about a "Suicidal mission". I watched "The expendables" recently, though it is another run-of-the-mill action movie, I did not like it much (I usually like action movies). I think my time to depart from the action movies, has come now :-). It was okay, since there are fine fight sequences, and explosion scenes which are visually good. However, the thing of "Some 5-6 US commando boys" ripping 300-400 soldiers on a "south american island", seems so trite to me. Also, the purported suicide mission where all the team comes back unscathed, no injuries, nothing.

Also, this another movie, "War of the Worlds", where the teenage son, ditches his father and sister, to "join war", against the aliens. "We should help the soldiers", he keeps on fighting with his father. And finally, when the battle is raging in front of their eyes, he runs towards it. Is it bravery? I am sure that boy did not know about "war", in the first place. Had he known, he would not have ran for it, in his adolescence. And, the father can't tell him not to!

This is too much to take for me now, come on, make movies like that, it is okay, but don't blow your own foot at war, thinking such stuff.
