Valley of Elah July 26, 2008
a slow and twisting plot line. excellent acting. original story. no real surprises, but the actors work very well together and the movie reveals itself. too intense for children, but a great movie with very little real war footage.
 The movie of Jones July 24, 2008
In the first place, the camera should not have left Jones. Superb performance as usual. It is an affecting movie that touches every heart. I strongly recommend this title.
In the Valley of Elah July 14, 2008
Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron give stand out performance in this drama about a retired Army Sergeant, played by Jones, trying to find out why his son has gone missing after returning from Iraq. His investigation takes him from his sons closest friends in the military to local bars and a restaurant. He gets the assistance of a female police detective, played by Theron, that is first reluctant but then more than understanding of his concern. The support cast were excellent and do a fine job making the story come to life. I am a fan of Lee's anyway, but this movie is well worth owning because of the acting, directing, story, sets, and music. Great quality DVD with good replayability. If you enjoyed this be sure to catch "Courage Under Fire" "The Package", and "Off Limits". - C. Luster
an excellent dvd July 9, 2008
a little drawn out , but well worth the money and time invested in this movie it gives us all a little insight on what goes on in the military and since it is based on a true story it is well worth adding to anyones dvd collection.
 Power of the Media July 8, 2008

This film is solid in terms of acting and direction. The story is exciting and well constructed. But the film subtly projects a message (subtle in that it is hidden in Tommy Lee Jones's quest to solve his son's murder) that our soldiers in Iraq are self-destructive psychos with no moral fiber. War is, indeed, hell. But it does take two to fight, another truism. It is very easy to criticize when all seems to be secure; our soldiers are fighting to protect our security. The main thing that I got out of this taut drama is that the media can manipulate our sentiments. When Jones flew the flag at the end, I thought he was going to fly it the proper way to honor his son. I was surprised.
