I've made myself an interesting promise, i will not go see either this
movie 
or BHD until I've read the corresponding book.	Just started into "We
Were 
Soldiers Once, and Young."  I'll do a book report as soon as I find time
to 
finish it (Before which I have to tackle 2 books on the 1915 Turkish 
genocide of the Kurds a friend sent me.  Such a fun reading list before
me).
