Buffalo Soldiers (DVD)
A dark comic tale of one soldier's misadventures in the American Army. Set in 1989 at an American Army base in West Germany just as the Berlin Wall is about to fall. Ray Elwood (Joaquin Phoenix) is a military clerk who, stationed on a base in the middle of peacetime, has very little to do. But Elwood has a few little things to keep himself occupied, he has used his access to goods and equipment to forge a very lucrative career on the black market. From Mop 'n' Glo to military weapons, no item is too big or too small for Elwood to deal in. As he is about to pull off the most lucrative deal of his shady career, a rather large object in the form of tough Vietnam vet Robert Lee, his new top sergeant, appears on the scene, threatening to scupper his plans.

Cinema Club Buffalo Soldiers [2003]
An Army-base comedy about soldiers with nothing to kill except time, <I>Buffalo Soldiers</I> invites casual comparison to <I>Catch-22</I> and <I>M*A*S*H</I>. It's 1989: the Berlin Wall is falling, completing the Cold War's thaw and Ray Elwood (Joaquin Phoenix)--a clerk with the 317th Supply Battalion, stationed in west Germany--combats boredom with a variety of black-market schemes, from cooking heroin for the base's corrupt MPs to dealing stolen arms to the highest bidder, in addition to having a shallow affair with the two-timing wife (Elizabeth McGovern) of his outgoing commander (Ed Harris). Elwood's new CO (Scott Glenn) clamps down on his illegal activities while protecting his daughter (Anna Paquin) from Elwood's advances. <p>Fine casting and positive buzz couldn't prevent this movie's ironic fate: acquired by Miramax one day before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, <I>Buffalo Soldiers</I> was shelved for nearly two years, by which time this dark and defiantly amusing exercise in political incorrectness--based on the novel by Robert O'Connor--had been overshadowed by world events. --<I>Jeff Shannon</I>
