WAMG Giveaway – Win the JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE Blu-ray

A Marine unit stationed in the hostile province of Helmand Afghanistan wilderness faces a harrowing mission as they try to help a fugitive woman reach safety from the Taliban in JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE. Packed with intense action, thrills and the gritty reality of war, the all-new movie JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE is inspired by JARHEAD, the highly praised feature film that follows a naïve young recruit and his platoon mates from the intensity of boot camp to being deployed to a lonely outpost in a surreal desert setting. JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE transports the action to the brutal battlefields and dusty villages of Afghanistan, where a band of Marines risk their lives to save a woman fleeing certain death at the hands of her Taliban pursuers.

When I reviewed the JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE Blu-ray release a couple of weeks ago, I wrote that it was “more in the mode of LONE SURVIVOR and more conventional in its tone than its predecessor and is a good, tough, satisfying war film.” (read the entire review HERE).

Now We Are Movie Geeks has two copies of the JARHEAD 2 Blu-ray to give away. All you have to do is leave a comment below and tell us what your favorite war movie is and why. It’s so easy!

We’ll choose the two winners next week. Good luck!

Win Tickets To The Advance Screening of THE TRIP TO ITALY in St. Louis

Michael Winterbottom’s largely improvised 2010 film, THE TRIP, took comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon—or semi fictionalized versions thereof—on a restaurant tour around northern England.

In this witty and incisive follow-up, Winterbottom reunites the pair for a new culinary road trip, retracing the steps of the Romantic poets’ grand tour of Italy and indulging in some sparkling banter and impersonation-offs. Rewhetting our palates from the earlier film, the characters enjoy mouthwatering meals in gorgeous settings from Liguria to Capri while riffing on subjects as varied as Batman’s vocal register, the artistic merits of “Jagged Little Pill,” and, of course, the virtue of sequels. Winterbottom trains his camera to capture the idyllic Italian landscape and the gastronomic treasures being prepared and consumed while keeping the film centered on the crackling chemistry between the two leads.

THE TRIP TO ITALY effortlessly melds the brilliant comic interplay between Coogan and Brydon into quieter moments of self-reflection, letting audiences into their insightful ruminations on the nuances of friendship and the juggling of family and career. The result is a biting portrait of modern-day masculinity.

WAMG invites you to enter to win passes to the advance screening of THE TRIP TO ITALY on Monday, August 25th in the St. Louis area.

Answer the following:

Name the 2005 British comedy directed by Michael Winterbottom and starred Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
