rock that casbah

lookin' for a good ol' timey war flick? one of those history repeats itself types? well try the battle of algiers (1965) on for size. especially if you think french people are stinky. 'cause they are. all of them.

it strikes me as eerie foreshadowing of every colonial v. gorilla conflict to happen since then, iraq part 2 included. it's brutal. it's honest. it doesn't spend much time on sissy subplots or sexy co-stars. just reel to reel wet hot revolutionary mayhem. my kinda' flick.
