    Ain't it Cool News reviews "Tunes of Glory"

    The Geek Movie/TV/Comic/Video Game review site Ain't it Cool News has a review of the classic movie Tunes of Glory in their "Movie a Day" column.

    Interesting to see read about the impressions of the film from someone who isn't into kilts and all things Scottish.

    Here's a link to the review (also a mini review of a Buster Keaton short)

    I was happy to see that they reviewed it. Ain't It Cool is one of the sites I have to check on a daily basis.

    Overall I'd say a rather good review, especially in light of the fact that he started out not totally wanting to watch the film, then ending up really enjoying it. Nice to see, as you said, a review from someone who's focus is not the kilt, or the Scottish aspect of the film.

    I have to admit that I have never understood the enthusiasm for it.

    I think you have to have been in the military to get the conflicting personality and leadership styles. I've seen units torn apart over the shenanagins at the command level!
