Buffalo Soldiers, which I just saw today, is an extremely enjoyable movie. Although not really a satire as such, just more of a straight black comedy/drama, Joaquin Phoenix still makes for an extremely effective anti-hero, and Ed Harris (I'm a big fan, although he was pretty poor in The Hours) was really great as a fairly clueless but endearing Colonel. Some really great moments--Phoenix being forced to shoot his prized Merc by asshole Sgt. Robert E. Lee (seriously, that's his name, well played by Scott Glenn), a tank rampaging through Germany and blowing up a gas station when piloted by a bunch of whacked-out soldiers, and a really great shot of two soldiers, high on heroin, stabbing each other with bayonets and grinning. Plus, very refreshing to see the US military portrayed in this light at this time.
