War Drama

I disliked this less than I expected, mostly because it had some homefront stuff.  This is based on Doug Stanton's book Horse Soldiers and directed by Nicolai Fuglsig.

Bumped up a notch or two for the stealth romcom (with Chris O'Dowd and Kat Dennings as not-good-enough-date and filter-free friend of Natalie Portman) snuck into a run-of-the-mill mythic superhero movie.  Alan Taylor directed

Historical Drama

DVD
D

Boring and cliched, with unplaceable regional accents.  This is based on Nathaniel Philbrick's nonfiction book, which was indirectly related to Moby-Dick.  Ron Howard directed.
