War's human costs — even to the ostensible "enemy" — are rarely weighed on the same scale as grand, historical victories. (Not Rated)
It's hard to say if Oscar-nominated Robin Williams' John Keating is a good English teacher. What he excels in when he's hired at a conservative Vermont prep school is actually stirring the pot and possibly getting his straitlaced students to think outside the box. Some do, and it's a glorious blossoming. Some don't, with tragic results. The things ...
