Book Trailer of the Week: American Sniper (movie version)



Suddenly, I seem to have more movie choices than I've had in years.  Whether this is a fluke, or the movie industry has actually turned the corner and is starting to make more adult films than comic book rip-offs, I don't know.  I'll just take advantage of it while the opportunity presents itself.

"American Sniper" is based on the Chris Kyle autobiography of the same name.  Kyle was murdered on a firing range while working with/counseling a veteran with mental problems associated with that veteran's own service to this country.  Kyle's story is a sad one that needs to be told because too many Americans don't understand just how much a few good men are sacrificing on behalf of the rest of us.

Those of you interested in the book that tells the story in Chris Kyle's own words can click on the link below:




 And for a look at what Taya Kyle thinks of the movie, click to this USA Today article that includes an interview of Taya touching on everything she went through with her heroic husband.
