After reading your pathetic review of the movie "The Four Feathers," I can no longer laugh your reviews(?) off.

Your opening sentence says the movie is about an English soldier who goes undercover to win his war. Would that be the 100-Year War, the War of the Roses, the War of 1812, WW II, what war?

This movie is a remake of a 1950s classic epic that takes place in India between the British and the native tribes. It is comparable to "Zulu" in its battle scenes.

The brilliant red-coated English versus the tribesmen. Far from trying to win the war, the main character goes to India to try and vindicate himself and in the process saves his friends through various adventures.

Unlike most of today's action movies, this film actually has a story line. Try and catch the original on TV some evening; it is shown often.

Your final sentence, "I hear this is pretty good," is an insult to any one who actually reads your drivel. Why don't you just copy the AJC reviews since you cannot be bothered with actually seeing all the films you allegedly review.

In closing, your column belongs on the comic page because it is a joke.
