	Universal Soldier (1992 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1992 science fiction film Universal Soldier directed by Roland Emmerich stars Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren as soldiers who kill each other in Vietnam but are reanimated in a secret Army project along with a large group of other previously dead soldiers.
		The film was followed by two television movie sequels in 1998 Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms and Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business, and a theatrical sequel that ignored them (Universal Soldier: The Return) in 1999, with the only returning cast member to any being Van Damme for the latter.
		Instead, the Unviersal Soldiers (or "UniSols") are called in, an elite counter terrorism unit, but Devreaux (now designated "GR44") and Scott (now designated "GR13") are among this team, apparently having been revived, but with no memories of their previous lives.

	Soldier (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film, classified as a thriller, starred Kurt Russell as Sgt. Todd, a soldier trained from birth.
		Soldier is set within the same fictional universe as the 1982 cult science fiction film Blade Runner.
		Director Paul W. Anderson states in the DVD commentary for the film that, in addition to the film being set in the same fictional universe as Blade Runner, Blade Runner was one of his primary influences when making the film and the themes and overall tone were meant to be similar.

	Winter Soldier - The Film \| About The Film
		The film is a rare and raw telling, by soldiers in the war in Vietnam, of the training for and the experience of war, in which young men kill and do horrific things to other human beings, in the name of patriotism and comraderie.
		The Winter Soldier Investigation was an attempt at the process of truth and reconciliation, initiated and carried out by veterans of the war in Vietnam and largely ignored by the government that was continuing to carry on that war.
		The fact that this process of truth-telling was not respected and honored as a part of the experience of these soldiers is one of the reasons that the subject of the war in Vietnam continues to be misunderstood and misrepresented.

	Soldier of Fortune Decision
		Soldier of Fortune, in my view, can be described as an interactive, animated "motion picture." Unlike other computer games such as Tetris or Scrabble, the action in Soldier of Fortune has a narrative and the participant adopts the role of one of the characters in the story.
		For example, Soldier of Fortune depicts the agony and suffering of victims burning to death as the result of the protagonist's use of a flame-thrower.
		Soldier of Fortune is an interactive, animated "motion picture." It is supposedly based upon the experiences of a real-life mercenary, "John F. Mullins," who is reported to have acted as a creative advisor to the film's producers.

	Film Echoes the Present in Atrocities of the Past
		When the film was finished a year later, it was shown at the Cannes and Berlin film festivals, at theaters in France and England, and on German television.
		Kerry's friend, the filmmaker George Butler, used footage from "Winter Soldier" to lionize him in a biographical film underwritten by Democrats called "Going Upriver." His political enemies on the right, meanwhile, created a Web site called Wintersoldier.com and made a film of their own, "Stolen Honor," to assail him as a traitor and a fraud.
		As polarizing as the film has proven to be, the filmmakers say they hope that a year removed from the context of a campaign, "Winter Soldier" will be seen the way it was originally intended.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Winter Soldier
		Filmed during the Winter Soldier Investigation in Detroit, Mich., on January 31, February 1 and 2, 1971, “Winter Soldier” is a stark retelling of the horrors that soldiers witnessed during the long, bloody Vietnam war.
		Several soldiers said that they were taught to regard all Vietnamese as “gooks.” As such, the natives were considered inhuman as a matter of course.
		The Winter Soldiers were on the inside, the summer soldiers on the outside, in the cold Detroit winter.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Soldier of Orange at Epinions.com
		Soldier of Orange was the first film made in the Netherlands that candidly addressed the ambiguity in the loyalties of the Dutch during the war.
		Nevertheless, the film is noteworthy for its non-judgmental stance.
		It's an honest film in that respect and one in which it is hard to distinguish the good guys from the bad – at least among the six college friends.

	Soldier's Girl: Film review
		The film was directed by the legendary Frank Pierson, who was not afraid to show either the sexuality between the couple, or Barry’s violent death.
		And as wonderfully as I feel the part was played by newcomer Lee Pace, this was once again another film where a transgendered woman was played by a non-transgendered man. This is not to slam Lee, who is especially good at capturing the pain and pathos of someone in the midst of a gender transformation.
		This film was important to make, but the fact that roles like these still go to actors outside the transgendered community shows how far we still have to go.

	Soldier Movie Review by Anthony Leong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		"Soldier", at heart, is a reworking of the Western genre.
		"Soldier" begins promisingly enough as an examination of a man rediscovering his humanity, doing his best to learn the rules of interaction after having lived his entire life in virtual isolation.
		Instead of acting as a point of convergence for the various thematic threads introduced in the first two acts, or as a test as to how much Todd has been changed by his experiences, the third act is merely a cathartic exercise in pyrotechnics and bloodshed, discarding whatever promise the movie had.

	Le Petit soldat / The Little Soldier / 1963 / film review / Jean-Luc Godard
		This is probably the most shocking scene of any of Godard’s films, one which the critics were quick to condemn when the film was finally released.
		The film makes no attempt to distinguish between extreme right and left wing politics, both are equally as valid or equally as flawed in Godard’s eyes.
		This was indeed an accurate reflection of the mood in France at the time the film was made but was clearly not a view which the authorities were going to allow Godard to peddle in public cinemas, hence the enforced ban.

	All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)
		It was a critical and financial success, and probably the greatest of pacifist, anti-war films - the grainy fl and white film is still not dated and the film hasn't lost its initial impact.
		The episodic film is still one of the few early sound films that modern audiences watch.
		The film includes a series of vignettes and scenes that portray the senselessness and futility of war from the sympathetic point of view of the young German soldiers in the trenches in the Great War who found no glory on the battlefield, meeting only death and disillusionment.

	The Shrubbery -- Movie Review -- Soldier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Soldier begins in the year 1996, when Sergeant Todd is born.
		Though the story, including the ultimate resolution, is quite obvious, the film's landscape, an apocalyptic garbage dump of a planet presented paradoxically beautiful in its harshness, and some brilliant pyrotechnic fight scenes make Soldier a fun Saturday afternoon matinee movie.
		Soldier is violent; it has many bloody scenes, a number of grisly deaths, and some rather sadistic moments (these warriors, for instance, have no reservations shooting unarmed young children in combat situations).

	SOLDIER \| Banned From the Ranch Entertainment
		SOLDIER, a huge action epic ostensibly set in the same time period as the classic BLADE RUNNER, tells the story of Todd (Kurt Russell), a soldier trained from birth who is banished to a desolate garbage planet after being deemed 'obsolete'.
		Brought onto the film after photography had wrapped, one of the first tasks for the BFTR team was to design and composite various futuristic computer screens into live-action production footage.
		During filming, computer screens had not yet been designed, so viewscreens and monitors on the sets were backlit green.

	Winter Soldier
		The un-narrated film captures the testimony of dozens of Vietnam veterans, who detailed their experiences in the military and the horrors of the “American War,” as the Vietnamese called it.
		Soldiers and veterans played a key role in ending the Vietnam War, through their antiwar activity in both the U.S. and Southeast Asia.
		Winter Soldier is an amazingly relevant film, not only because it details what American wars of “liberation” actually mean for the people being “liberated,” also because it gives us insight into the experiences of soldiers fighting in Iraq today.

	Soldier
		Paul Anderson is the director behind the highly visual sci-fi/horror thriller “Event Horizon” and in his latest film, “Soldier” he is teaming up with Kurt Russell for a new science fiction action spectacle.
		One day, a new, supposedly better breed of “Soldiers” is ready to enter the arena, and preposterous officer, Colonel Mekum (Jason Isaacs), is challenging Church’s men to fight his new ultimate warriors.
		From the harsh and cold interiors in the military camp, to the deserted plains of the junkyard planet, the film is sure to please the eyes.

	Warriors, Inc. Films and Television
		And as a professional soldier and film buff, I was making it a point to see virtually everything with a military theme.
		Beyond such superficial contributions there was a feeling that no professional soldier, sailor or Marine could be much of an asset in dramatic imagery or storytelling.
		Since very, very few of these folks had ever worn a uniform or talked to a professional soldier, all of this, I suppose, was to be expected.

		The film, much like the TV series, documents a year and a half in the life of foreign workers from the Philippines which have established a drag queen troupe and try integrating into the Israeli gay scene.
		The film, also featured at the Jerusalem film festival competition, traces the life of a female clerk (Dana Ivgi), stationed at a distant military base, who has to deal with a female soldier who has suicidal tendencies.
		The film was shown at the recent Jerusalem Film Festival's Wolgin competition, and won grants from the Rezili Lebovich Fund and Snunit Fund.

		Well, nearly the whole film tells the love story of a woman who has grown up at the Indians and an American soldier as well as their survival in the wilderness.

	Soldier Blue (DE - DVD R2) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
		For the next forty minutes or so, the film is basically consists of the two-actor ensemble, and thanks to the acting strengths of the two leads and the honestly witty banter, this slower section remains quite entertaining.
		When the era in which the film was made is considered, 1970, it’s pretty obvious that the film is yet another in a long line of metaphorical Vietnam protests.
		The cult nature of the film is cemented, it should be noted, by a fantastic supporting performance from B-movie icon Donald Pleasance, as a corrupt trader.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Soldier
		Forty years into the future, in 2036, a new breed of genetically engineered soldiers arrives upon the scene to steal the thunder of the now outdated G.I. Joes.
		The lack of well-defined characters leaves the weight of the film on the shoulders of director Anderson and his design team.
		But unlike the best of that genre, "Soldier" lacks the ingredient that might have given it a fighting chance: a sense of humor.

	Winter Soldier film -- 5 stars from FilmCritic.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It’s not hard to see why, given that the film is essentially a parade of grainy, fl-and-white footage of morose, shaggy-headed vets talking in confession-booth tones about laying waste to villages and butchering civilians; this is not a fun night out at the movies (but, then, neither is Shoah).
		Soldier after soldier talks about how routine these killings were, everything sanctioned by their officers, who at best looked the other way and at worst instigated it.
		They hid the Winter Soldier propaganda during the election campaign because they were trying to paint Kerry as a war hero, but now they don't need to do that, so they are openly pushing their anti-american agenda.

	The unknown soldier \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		It is nearly 75 years since the shooting of the classic first world war film, All Quiet on the Western Front, but Arthur Gardner, the only surviving member of its cast, recalls it with the same vivid intensity that its young cast brought to the screen.
		The film, based on the novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, tells the story of a group of German students who volunteer, full of youthful patriotism, to fight in the first world war, and what becomes of them in the trenches and on the battlefield.
		The film was shot in 1929 on the Universal backlot in Los Angeles and on location at the Irvine ranch in Orange County.

	Planet-Bollywood - Film Review - Soldier
		Soldier is supposed to be a suspense thriller, but near interval one can already guess what the suspense is. The film has been made on a large scale, with about 70% being shot in Australia and New Zealand.
		What the film lacks though is a stronger script and crisp editing.
		Being a suspense thriller the film is supposed to keep you glued to your seat, this is what Soldier lacks.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Soldier of Fortune: Steven Wright and the Big Questions of Life
		Not surprisingly, the film's humor operates on such a high level, with so many odd and unexpected quirks, that trying to anticipate what will happen next is like trying to drive a car down a roller-coaster track.
		Wright will be in town to promote the film, which plays at this year's SXSW Film as part of the Shorts 1 program.
		Like Wright's live stand-up, the film's slow pace and ponderous subject matter have a rather hypnotic effect, drawing one into the skewed reality of Wright's brilliant mind.

	Death of a Soldier Film Review - Time Out Film
		Edward Leonski (Brown) was the first American soldier to be sentenced to death by a US military tribunal in World War II, convicted for the murder of three women while stationed in Australia.
		Mora uses the trial in an attempt to examine the fragile relationship that existed between Americans and Australians during the war, and to demonstrate the need for due process of law.
		But sadly for any intelligent treatment of these issues, the film concentrates on the depiction of the murders and the manhunt which ensued, with Melbourne presented as an outrageous Frat party for the GIs, while Coburn struggles with stilted dialogue and what would seem to be an inordinate amount of starch in his jockeys.
