Any interest in Warhorse or Redtails

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

I'm afraid Redtails is going to be Star Wars, but with P-51s

. I'll still go see it, it can't be any worse than Flyboys or Red Baron.

I miss the old school movies, w/o the CGI.

So do I. The experience just isn't the same without genuine real-world visuals. Some movies though are perfect for CGI, like cartoonish movies; and especially SyFy movies. (Can't have a proper SyFy movie without those cheeeeezy CGI 'gators, sharks, snow/firestorms, yetis, blood/entrail splatter effects, etc

)

Wouldn't bet on it, there's probably no lower limit to how rotten they can make an aviation war movie.

Watched 12 O'Clock High the other day, stunt-pilot Paul Mantz actually crashed a B-17 for an early scene. Even in black and white it's impressive and makes CGI look like crap.

I watched the Blueray DVD special features for Das Boot. No CGI, all models. I think it still looks better than the CGI. (A well made minature/model)
