Veterans Day movies on TCM: From 'The Sullivans' to 'Patton' (photo: George C. Scott in 'Patton') This evening, Turner Classic Movies is presenting five war or war-related films in celebration of Veterans Day. For those outside the United States, Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day, which takes place in late May. (Scroll down to check out TCM's Veterans Day movie schedule.) It's good to be aware that in the last century alone, the U.S. has been involved in more than a dozen armed conflicts, from World War I to the invasion of Iraq, not including direct or indirect military interventions in countries as disparate as Iran, Guatemala, and Chile. As to be expected in a society that reveres people in uniform, American war movies have almost invariably glorified American soldiers even in those rare instances when they have dared to criticize the military establishment.

Back in the day, G.I Joe was a synonym for a grunt, a soldier, a general infantryman who was faceless and nameless yet fought back the Axis powers in World War II; it later was used in the title of a 1945 film about famous war correspondent Ernie Pyle ('The Story of G.I. Joe'). Now of course, it refers to the 1960s Hasbro faceless, nameless toys as well as comic books and cartoons and, of course, the recent big-screen 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.' But G.I Joe is about to get a face.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bruce Willis is in talks to join the cast of Paramount's 'G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation,' and his role would be that of the original Joe. If the deal clicks, Willis would play General Joe Colton, the man who in 1980s...

The title of Lee Server’s acclaimed 2002 biography, Robert Mitchum: Baby I Don’t Care (MacMillan), offers a perfect encapsulization of the eponymous actor: a hard-partying Hollywood Bad Boy who didn’t give a damn what moralizing finger-waggers thought of him, or what his peers in the movie business thought, or the press, or even the public. He was going to go his own way and to hell with you, and anyone positioning themselves to make strong objection was just as likely to get a punch in the nose as shown the actor’s broad back. He worked hardest at conveying the idea that the thing he did for a living – acting – was also the thing he cared least about; an impression that may have been his most convincing performance.
The Bad Boy part of Mitchum’s reputation was honestly come by. As a youth, he’d been booted from more than one school,...

Back to the future: the inspiration for the G.I. Joe action figure was WWII journalist Ernie Pyle's book, which was later made into a film starring Burgess Meredith and Robert Mitchum- long before the character had to deal with battling space monsters.
When I was growing up in the 1960s, G.I Joe was an action figure made as an homage to the WWII fighting man. How the hell has he ended up looking like a robot, battling aliens and riding around in spaceships? I must have been asleep during the decades in which he morphed into his present incarnation. Now, G.I. Joe is coming to the big screen via Paramount's August release, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The just-released trailer is awful, with every cliched line and action sequence imaginable, and some of the tackiest CGI effects I've seen. The public will probably love it.

NEW YORK -- Friends, family and colleagues remembered David Bloom on Wednesday as a courageous "warrior," consummate journalist and devoted family man who constantly battled with balancing his professional life with his personal and spiritual one. The NBC correspondent and Weekend Today anchor died of a pulmonary embolism on April 5 while covering the war in Iraq. He was 39. Bloom left a wife, Melanie, and three young daughters. He earned worldwide attention for his reports from the Bloom-mobile, in which cutting-edge satellite technology enabled him to report live via a crystal-clear videophone transmission while riding in a tank as his military unit trundled across the Iraqi desert. More than 2,000 people attended the funeral Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, including New York Gov. George Pataki, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as well as top executives from the television news industry. Bloom was a popular person in the hypercompetitive TV news field. NBC's Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw compared him to Edward R. Murrow covering the London Blitz in World War II and to famed correspondent Ernie Pyle, who died in World War II combat. Bloom "was a model of his generation for journalists. He was simply the best," Brokaw said.
