Movie "The Alamo"

I watched the Alamo on DVD this weekend and thought it was excellent. I heard terrible reviews on it but found it to be a good story about plain men who extraordinary passion.

One of the aspects of the movie that I really appreciated is that it has several "sub stories" working well along with the main conflict. That is how I believe real life is...lots going on around a central conflict, which makes it more difficult for the characters to find their way through the challenges.

Billy Bob Thornton performance is penetrating. Whatever demons he has personally makes for superb acting.
