Invictus is truely Unconquered
PostedDecember 13, 2009

from Montgomery, Al.
It was said in the movie that the short poem 'Invictus' (published in 1875 by English poet William Ernest Henley) kept Nelson Mandella going during his many years in prison. The word 'Invictus' is Latin for `unconquered' or 'undefeated'. Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon, Clint Eastwood and all the rest have truly given us an unconquerable movie that celebrates what can be done when people come together and remain undefeated in the face of adversity.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

There are no ex-Marines
PostedDecember 11, 2009

The synopsis for this movie says that "Avatar" is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. Once a Marine, Always a Marine: This truism is now the official motto of the Marine Corps League. The origin of the statement is credited to a gung-ho 40 year Marine Corps Master Sergeant, Paul Woyshner. During a barroom argument he shouted, "Once a Marine, always a Marine!" MSgt. Woyshner was right. Once the title "U.S. Marine" has been earned, it is retained. There are no ex-Marines or former-Marines. There are (1) active duty Marines, (2) retired Marines, (3) reserve Marines, and (4) Marine veterans. Nonetheless, once one has earned the title, he remains a Marine for life.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
