Warhorse = meh
Redtails = stoopid

Not real interest in seeing either.

I have a copy, It's okay, if a bit silly. It looks a little like a WW2 recruitment film. The "effects" mostly involve seventy-year-old stock footage. I do like the acting, though.

I will see them both and make my own assessment but not in any great hurry.

I'll go see redtails

assuming it does not portray every single white man, woman and child as foaming at the mouth to keep the black man down.

I'm pretty sure it will though;)

Watched 20 seconds of the Redtails trailer and lost all interest after seeing the CGI toy planes pulling some "very realistic" moves...

It makes me appreciate "Battle of Britain" even more. Real planes ftw!:yeah:

Except those 109s... Gah! :-?

Memphis Belle was one of the very last war films to use real airplanes. Only "CGI" was the replication of a hand full of B-17s to create the illusion that there were many.

Unfortunately there just arent enough to do something on that scale.

Its a lost art :nope:

Well, at that time the Hispanos were all they could get. The Heinkels also were Spanish-built with Rolls-Royce engines. And several of the Spits were later models.

I recall one old movie about a P-47 squadron. The Germans were played by Mustangs. :D

And of course we could compare the real flying in Tora! Tora! Tora! with the CGI of Pearl Wars.

Still better than the these CGI flyboys clones.

@GoldenRivet
I know, but they could use at least one real P51 (there are still some out there;)) and use that one for some of the manoeuvres, then add a few more with CGI that behave like the real thing does.
But what I saw in that trailer reminded me of RC planes but definitely not of warbirds with a mass around 2 metric tons.:shifty:

I have to agree there. In fact the best WW1 replicas I can recall seeing were in Young Indiana Jones and The Attack of The Hawkmen. Nieuports, Albatros and 1-1/2 Strutters. :yep:

Saw the trailer for Red Tails on TV. Was dumbfounded by the choice of electronica for the music track. :06: I might have to see it just to find out if the opening track is period music, or if it's that same electronic piece I heard in the promo. :o:timeout:

What a moving painting. Any idea the title or the artist?

Surprised no one has mentioned Act of Valor. Action movie that stars eight real life active duty SEALs:

It's variously called "Goodbye old Pal", "Goodbye old man" or "Goodbye my old friend". Received a black and white print from my last Warrant Officer's and Sergeant's Mess before I retired that hangs in my computer room (or man cave).

Thanks for the link. $175 is a lot. I will have to find someplace where I can see it in person before I want to shell out that much.
