"March Madness"

With the NCAA basketball tournament starting this week I got the idea to have a bracket to determine the best war movie made since 2001. I chose the competitors and seeded them based on Rotten Tomatoes. The first round matches will be based on acting, accuracy, entertainment value, and realism. Each category will be on a scale of 1-10. After the first round, victory will be based on my judgment. Here are the matchups:


1 - The Hurt Locker
16 - Pearl Harbor

3 - Inglorious Basterds
14 - The Great Raid

5 - Flags of Our Fathers
12 - Enemy at the Gates

7 - We Were Soldiers
10 - Defiance

8 - Jarhead
9 - 300

6 -  Master and Commander
11 - Troy

4 - Black Hawk Down
13 - Kingdom of Heaven

2 - Letters from Iwo Jima
15 - Flyboys

I will post the "game" summaries periodically starting Thursday. Feel free to make predictions and criticisms.
