Gratuitous Llama Netflix Movie Review
I suppose the only reason I'm bothering to mention my first viewing of this film at all is so that I can use the line "Saving Private Ivan," which has always amused me.
Too bad the movie wasn't of comparable calibre. The battle scenes looked like, well, Hollywood-staged battle scenes, the "cat and mouse" game between Zaitsev and K�nig never really grasped my attention, the love triangle among the Ruskies was vapid and why the hell wasn't Ed Harris allowed to use a fake German accent?
Bright spot? Bob Hoskins as Khrushchev. That was one meeeeean motorcycle.
Don't think I'll bother with it again, tho'.
Yips from Steve-O: You forgot to mention the dirty fingernails scene. Yikes.

That movie was so good that I bought a book on the Battle of Stalingrad.
ps I'm passing a telegram I recevied from INDC Bill for the Llamas.
-- begin --
Thnx for post on Iraq trip.
--stop--
No word from Llamas in PayPal
--stop--
Cheap b*stards
--end of message--
Heck, when I feel the need for a Rachel fix, I just rent the Mummy movies. Much more entertaining and no hygeine issues.
Bill gets his cash when he shows up at Lamapalooza on Saturday. (Ahem.)
