MOVIE REVIEW
The oddly concoted cast of Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci, Brian Presley, Chad Michael Murray and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson make up the ensemble drama Home of the Brave, a movie that looks at how soldiers have to deal with adjusting to normal life after returning from the Iraq War. Most modern war flicks have hit theaters with an astounding thud, and Home of the Brave was given a particularly cruel limited release; it's $12 million budget went to waste on pennies in revenue.Read our Home of the Brave movie review »
