Having seen the preview oh about a bajillion times, I'm still not buying Abbie Cornish as a Texas gal.

A Ryan Phillippe full frontal would guarantee my attendance.

Channing is also acceptable.

Good call but no one outside of MTV, critic cirles and the 13-20 age bracket is going to see the movie until someone works hard to convince them to see it. The cast is also...horrible.

Opinion: Iraq movies don't do nearly as well as WWII movies because the whole thing is just a bummer, idealogically but also visually. While I'm sure there are beautiful parts of Iraq, everything I see is just desert, light brown and endless. It's not like making a movie about the firebombing of London, or the occupation of Poland, or the jungly islands in the South Pacific. There's very little variation in the scenery is what I'm saying. The only movies set in the desert I remember enjoying visually are Lawrence of Arabia and Three Kings, and it seems like you can't treat Iraq with either the epicness of the first or the fun of the second these days.

Not to judge a book by its cover (or a movie by its one-sheet, in this case), but the poster definitely says Varsity Blues Goes to War.
