"Battleship" was a pretty decent movie and opened my eyes a bit
Now my tastes in movies has already pretty much started with gunfights, car chases, explosions or pretty women, and then ended with aliens threatening the whole mess...
But you already knew that I'm not the deep thrinker that I pretend to be!
Well, the Missus was threatening to kill me if she had to watch another race, so Plan B: we rented "Battleship". Now the movie itself was pretty darn good when it comes to explosions and stuff, but what got me, was this one guy: Gregory Gadson. He was playing a Wounded Warrior who had lost both legs...
In my simple life, I was almost dismising all of it at computer genereated mumbo jumbo... but SOMETHING made me take another look...
This guy's the real-deal!
Colonal Gregory Gadson is the Commander of Ft. Belvoir, Va.
Of all the cool weapons and explosions in this movie, I think that he stole the entire show in the scene that follows this:
If you haven't seen it; I don't want to ruin any of it, but THIS guy is one TUFF ESSOBEE

Col Gadson was made an honorary Co-Captain of the NY Giants and also earned Super Bowl Rings for the inspiration he gave to the team, in the playoffs and in the last two Super Bowls the Giants were in and won.
