I gotta say, this movie is ridiculous to the extreme. The plot doesn't make any sense, and the acting (probably more the writing) is just not good. But I had a great time watching it, and that's what movies (as far as I'm concerned) are all about. A fun hour and a half, but I don't think it will win any awards. If you have a couple hours to kill, give it a watch. I also like the backstory of the actors involved, that the main actresses are actually best friends since childhood. I've always been a big fan of Kevin Smith movies, and although I have not yet seen the previous movie in this line ("Tusk"), I don't think it necessarily needs to be seen before this one, as they provide plenty of references to it.

Fort Bliss
(2014)
Fort Bliss Medic, Stationed at Fort Bliss, Returns From Combat to some seriously real and usually undiscussed results
5 September 2014
SSG Swann was in the Afghanistan conflict as a combat medic, and she was exposed to some situations that no human that has not been in combat could understand. I think the film gives viewers a taste of what the most simple encounters there were like. I think it does a great job of explaining that sometimes you can never ever talk to your family or friends about your combat experience, or face judgement from them because of it. I'm not a female, and I'm married with kids, but I have personally witnessed this type of situation unfold. I've only discussed the most....I guess Boring parts... with them. There were some factual errors, sure, but they weren't too far off. If it weren't for the small factual errors (commissary open at night, what?), this would definitely get 10 stars from me.
Fight Club
(1999)
(SPOILERS) Watched This At Random, Became My Favorite Movie
5 September 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I had seen the previews for this movie, and I had written it off as, well, guys fighting each other. I was pretty disinterested.
One night I had 24 hour duty, and this movie was playing. Without trying to spoil it, this quickly became my favorite movie. Nope, not because of the soap or fighting scenes. I was in the process of becoming a Psychology major, and I realized this movie epitomized the dissociative identity disorder diagnosis.
After seeing the movie, I decided to read the original book by Chuck Palahniuk. Mind... = BLOWN. If you haven't seen this yet, read the book first.
