Director Oliver Stone continues to surprise with his wide-ranging selection of subject matter to translate into film. His latest sortie into cinematic storytelling will be a drama about, of all things, the Vietnam War:
Woody Harrelson is reteaming with his "Natural Born Killers" director Oliver Stone for the Vietnam War drama "Pinkville."
...
Stone, who served in Vietnam, already revisited the conflict with the films "Platoon," "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Heaven and Earth."
As long as a scrap of hide and at least one hoof remain, I guess.

Myself? I don't even read the reviews anymore.
Posted by: Gmac at October 25, 2007 12:00 PMAs far as I'm concerned, the only movie Oliver Stone got even close to correct was "The Doors". He ought to stick to his research and leave his agenda at the door.
Posted by: Paco Malo at October 25, 2007 03:07 PMFinally, a director courageous enough to take a critical look at the Vietnam War.
Those rah-rah, flag-waving, marching band Vietnam movies of the 70s and 80s were so lame.

I've got a new poem.
