Ridiculous statement from Paul Perrymore

I have decided that 2010 is the year I Zen the f#(k out. I have implemented some basic changes in order to achieve the Zening the f#(k out. As part of the overall package I have decided to watch a movie a day for the next year.

Behind Enemy Lines

The story of a Navy pilot (navigator, actually - not sure who made that choice) who is shot down in Bosnia during the NATO police action. It reduces one of the most complex and confusing conflicts in recent memory to a simplistic chase movie. This was Owen Wilson's stab at being an action star. It's not a role he's terribly good at, but he certainly didn't embarrass himself. This is not a good movie, but there are some solid action set pieces. Particularly in the beginning of the film when he's shot down... behind enemy lines. Gene Hackman is his commander. His participation can only be described as "slumming."
