Defending Dunkirk: Rejecting Some Of The Critiscism

A movie that scores 93% on Rotten Tomatoes , takes over $200 million in the box office and is widely acclaimed as one of the best war movies ever made probably doesn't need that much defending. However, some of the criticism lazily lobbed at Dunkirk was so offensively inane that you just can't help yourself from mocking it. Mercilessly. 'There's no hiding from this, son' Mild spoilers ahead, nothing too shocking, but, don't say I didn't warn you. Let's dive, Stuka like, right in. Where are the French? Tricky enough one to start, as personally I'm a little on the fence on this one.

The 2008 European Championships kicks off this weekend. Extremely enjoyable, colourful and entertaining tournament. Personally I rank it about sixth in terms of best tournaments in the world. Goal, goal, goal, goal! 6. The European Championships (Soccer) The World Cup lite, basically. Same concept, same length of time between games. Almost as good, just lacking that little extra bit of colour provided by teams from the far corners of the globe.

Maybe you want to watch some of the tournament and see what all the fuss about this soccer football is. If so, this is the article for you.
