USA Theatrical Release next week


Wow! "The Red Baron" is going into limited release in the USA this friday, March 19, 2009. It received terrible reviews and bombed at the European box offices, but I will go see it. I love flying movies. I hope it's not a bitter disappointment as "Flyboys".

My friend watched it and he said it was pretty bad. Encore channel shows the Roger Corman made film Von Richthofen and Brown, I watched the first part and it looked decent enough.

It is a better movie than "Flyboys," but the story is mostly fiction. The computerized airplanes were far better than the Flyboys version, at least the rotary motors rotated! The formation flying scenes were ridiculous as no one would ever have flown a formation that tightly. You have to have room to maneuver if you should be shot at! To fly that close, you wouldn't have time to look for the enemy! But, as I said, it was better than "Flyboys."

Anyone know when it will be on Comcast Cable On Demand any time soon?
