Rated:NONE Straight from the front lines in Iraq, THE WAR TAPES is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves.
Funnier, more revealing, and more gut wrenching than news reports, this is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike Moriarty. Steve is a wisecracking carpenter who aspires to be a writer. Zack is a Lebanese-American university student who loves to travel and is fluent in Arabic. Mike is a father who seeks honor and redemption. Each leaves a woman behind - a girlfriend, a mother and a wife.
Through their candid footage, these men open their hearts and take us on an unforgettable journey, capturing camaraderie and humor along with the brutal and terrifying experiences they face. These soldiers got the story that 2,700 embedded reporters never could.
Rated:R "The Puffy Chair"--nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards, the John Cassevetes Award and the Someone to Watch Award - is a modern relationship comedy that follows a romantically challenged trio of twentysomethings on a farcical road trip to recover an armchair.

As in their acclaimed short films, one of which won the Berlin Silver Bear Award in 2005, the Duplass Brothers' comically blunt observations about contemporary relationships define their style.
