Ready to enter the 'Green Zone'?
In the new politically charged action-thriller, Matt Damon re-teams with 'Bourne' director Paul Greengrass to tell the story of a U.S. military officer searching out WMDs in Iraq just days after the invasion -- but his investigations lead him to discover corruption on both sides of the dispute, and doubt over who is the real enemy. Greg Kinnear co-stars as a government official whose motivations are unclear, and possibly dangerous.
We sat down with Damon and Kinnear -- who, you may remember, once played conjoined twins -- as the two discussed how unpredictable the production was ("There's a sense that anything can happen at any moment"), what it was like working in Morocco ("I felt like we'd be shooting in a Stuckey's") as well as offering some news on what director -- or directors -- Damon is acting with next (Joel and Ethan Coen).

When will Americans feel good again to be Americans. The "Bashing" from the Left leaves the country weak to the world.
How can it be that some are willing to fold to other counteries interest rather than supporting America.

If this Green Zone movie is yet another stab at an "I hate George Bush " movie, I pass. I have had a fill of politically charged Hollywood left leaning movies where I am at a point that I just don't go anymore.
Look Hollywood and Vine, Bush is gone, Iraq is winding down, the guy YOU elected is committed to the war NEXT - DOOR, we're in it to win it, so forget drudging up yesterday's history.
I am sick of this crap. WMDs are yesterday's news. Thank God for press and movie reviews that fore warn us of a waste of a small fortune on movie tickets and popcorn and soda costs that topple prices of street heroin.

Matt actually thinks he's one tough dude.
You're an actor Matt. If I needed someone to protect me it wouldn't be you. A blow-up GI Joe would make me feel more secure. Hollywood PHONEY!
Like Tom Hanks. If Tommy were ever in battle, he would have to wear a double 'DEPENDS' for protection. Japs in WWII wouldn't surrender Tommy.
My Father was in the SP and he said "Kill them all'. He said they were fanatical savages who were 'Crazy' Tommy. Remember how kind they were to the people of Nanking, China. They only butchered 400,000 Chinese in 4 months. Baby's were called 'LOGS' Tommy as the Japs bayoneted them for practice. Grow up and think like a MAN, Tommy. It will be tough Tommy but you can do it once you find your spine. In my opinion.

unfortunately, you are right...I used to work for the "firm." The by-word in Nam WAS 'kill em all and let God sort them out.'
