Brothers at War website has showtimes this weekend in Fayetteville and Jacksonville, NC. I'm sure it's showing elsewhere, also. The trailer looks wonderful. Someone give a review if you see it, please.

I have not seen the movie, but on the website they have others' reaction to the movie under the following link. Looks like most, if not all enjoyed it. Doesn't come out in my area until next week.

Gary Sinese is a real class act and huge military supporter. He put on a free concert with his LT Dan Band for the NYARNG's Fighting 69th Infantry battalion in NYC on St. Patty's day a couple days ago. It was an excellent show and it was a pleasure to have him show up and support the event.

I watched the movie yesterday in Oceanside. I believe they are still working on the final product as there were no credits shown at the end. The movie was good. Was it as good as I hoped? No, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I guess I was expecting there to be more footage or story line where the non combatant brother, Jake Rademacher, in Iraq with his brothers, Issac and Joseph, showing their specific story as it played out on the screen. As it turns out, Isaac is called back from his deployment for a training assignment. The movie ends with the younger brother, Joseph, heading back over to Iraq with Jake waving to him as he boards the jet.

However, it does show some interesting stuff while Jake is embedded with a sniper unit and with some Marines who working with a Iraqi unit.

I would recommend the movie and will probably buy it when it comes out on DVD. I do not think I would pay to see it again in a theater.

Hey everyone. I wasn't sure where to post this. Apparantly this was shown in Fayetteville, NC but I do not recall seeing anything about this.

BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time. *Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything—including his life—to tell his brothers’ story. *Often humorous, but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units take him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper "Hide Sites" in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army. *Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives and children. *BROTHERS AT WAR provides a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.

Gary Sinise (CSI and Lt. Dan Band) has put a lot behind this but because it is NOT Anti-War or Anti-Military it is NOT getting much attention. I wanted to share this site with you!
