The fourth film in my 'pleasantly surprised' collection of films is:
Three Kings 1999
George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube, Spike Jonze; directed by David Russell
Disclaimer: not really a Clooney or Wahlberg fan, or war pictures for that matter, but...
A hunt-for-the-gold adventure set to the immediate aftermath of the first Gulf War, with edgy humor and quite blatant overtures questioning the validity of war. Quite appropriate timing, considering our most recent debacle.
For those of you wondering why there are two film-related posts next to one another, well first off, I knew I wanted to see Winged Migration from the second i saw the trailer months ago. Second of all, it's my blog.
