Clueless critics

You know what we really need — a “wake-up call” movie about the Iraq War.

So says Entertainment Weekly DVD critic Gregory Kirschling in his “Stop-Loss’s” DVD review.

Here’s the full quote from his pan of the film, which follows a soldier (Ryan Phillipe) who goes AWOL when he’s assigned back to Iraq:

“… the film is near heartbreaking. Only not, unfortunately, in a good way. Because we need bracing, wake-up call movies about the war …”

Did he miss “Home of the Brave,” “Lions for Lambs,” “War, Inc.,” “In the Valley of Elah,” “Redacted” and “Battle for Haditha?” His DVD shelf must be pretty bare.
