Courtney B. Vance, Christopher McDonald, Laurence Fishburne, Allen Payne, Andre Braugher, Malcolm Jamal Warner - Dir:Robert Markowitz The true story of the African-American 332nd Fighter Group, and the obstacles they faced in their efforts to fly during WWII.
When the black cadets arrive at Alabama's Tuskegee Army Air Field, they are full of determination and eagerness. But thanks to a bigoted white instructor, the soldiers' time there proves to be a firm testing ground of their skills, determination, and emotions, and a number of them are unable to complete the training. After the ones who do succeed become officers, they are hit with their next obstacle: a racist senator who has no faith in the soldiers. But thanks in part to Eleanor Roosevelt, the men are sent to North Africa to serve in the war. Upon their arrival, the black officers find their flying duties to be quite limited, especially when compared to their white counterparts. That changes when three of the Black fliers prove their abilities by saving two white fighter pilots -- who later specifically request that the 332nd fly with them on an important mission. The 332nd finally achieves equality, and they go on to make their country -- and their race -- very proud. An action-filled dramatization of the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first squadron of black American pilots to defend their country in World War II. Overcoming nearly insurmountable racial obstacles, the men of the "Fighting 99th" distinguished themselves and their race. Produced by Price Entertainment Prods.
Producer Frank Price first became interested in the story of the Tuskegee airmen in 1984, when he was head of Universal Pictures. He spent ten years working to bring this story about a squadron of black fighter pilots to the screen. The film cost about $8.5 million to produce.

Tuskegee Airmen Movie Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)  Red Tails
Their tails were painted red to tell them apart from the other fighting squadrons. These guys had to fight the Germans and ignorance in WWII. They won both battles. Check it out, if you like war movies this one will move you.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The untold story
I have been interested in all aviation and this is a story that needed telling. It's shameful how the blacks were considered inferior to the whites. I believe we are equal and given the circumstance we remain equal. This is real entertainment.

Very dramatic, very informative. Gives a glimpse of how a segment of our military was treated, how they persevered and eventually triumphed.

Very Inspirational!!!
All I could say is you gonna watch this movie. The aircrafts they used are very authentic and not just ordinary remote-controlled planes, they're real! Even the BF-109 Messerchmits of the Luftwaffe. It also tell us the lessons of life, that we are all equally created by God and we don't have the right to control other people and decide their future.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great Movie
This movie was excellent. The actors really portrayed their characters well. It showed how our prejudices can always prove how wrong we can be about people and especially people of color (no matter what the race). These men showed their determination to succeed and to be the best they could be even if it cost them their lives. It shows how they fought for us all so we could all could continue to enjoy the freedoms we have. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Stephen Gaghan, who won an Oscar for best screenplay for TRAFFIC, makes his directorial debut with SYRIANA, an espionage thriller set in the Middle East. George Clooney stars as Bob Barnes, a longtime CIA agent preparing to slow down his life and spend more time with his teenage son (Max Minghella). But his last secret mission, getting rid of Prince Nasir (Alexander Siddig), turns out to be more complicated than he imagined, placing him in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy involving government corruption, oil, and international terrorism. Matt Damon, who starred with Clooney in OCEAN'S ELEVEN and OCEAN'S TWELVE (and made a cameo in Clooney's CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND, which was also about spies and conspiracies), plays Bryan Woodman, an energy executive whose ethics become vulnerable after the horrific loss of one of his sons. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., lawyers Bennett Holiday ...

Despite his origins as a low-budget filmmaker with a taste for the unsavory side of life, Peter Jackson has turned into an "event" filmmaker--someone who can conjure up a movie on a scale unlike anything we've seen before. KING KONG is his sprawling, epic remake of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack's 1933 movie of the same name, and it is as big as the gorilla that runs riot through Jackson's rendering of Depression-era New York. Keeping the simple yet effective plot intact--a film crew travels to the mysterious Skull Island, picks up Kong, and brings him back to New York City--Jackson expands on this basic premise by drawing on the jaw-dropping talents of his special effects team to satisfy his thirst for the grand spectacle.
The movie posits Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow, the starry-eyed blonde beauty whom Kong falls for; Jack Black as Carl Denham, a low-rent Orson Welles look-alike who drags the crew to the island to make his movie; and Adrian Brody as Jack Driscoll, a hack playwright who battles Kong both physically and for Darrow's heart. As the men struggle against Kong and the lumbering dinosaurs ...
