Skar, I may have to take the picture you wanted out of the blurb. I know it's there, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the blurb consistently.

nm, just put it on my server. Works better now.

Yeah, I didn't take much care of this movie. It was alright, but I wasn't very interested in it. Don't remember why though. It's been a few months since I saw it.

What was the error that was unexplainable I wonder?

The unexplainable one is why the hell they would fly low and directly over the village they just escaped from on the way back to the carrier.  That's just asking to get an RPG up the kiester.

It was necessary to the film, so Willis could have his change of heart at the sight, but there's no real-world reason why they'd follow that route out.

In my opinion, he could have had the change of heart at the LZ instead of waiting until he was in the air.  That would have worked.

Especialy considering TWG 4.0 will be more graphicly intense.  We've had images on the front page before, but that was over 2 years ago before Skar left to go shoot things, and since they were his reviews that had the images you can see why there weren't any until he got back.
