american sniper

All eyes have been on the Eddie Ray Routh trial and last night a verdict was handed down.

Chris Kyle's wife Taya attended the Oscars last night in style as "American Sniper" was nominated for several Oscars.

In most years, January tends to be the most boring month of the year for the box office. This is where Hollywood typically sends the movies in which it has the least faith. This is the dumping ground, the place where movies go to die so the studios can concentrate on their Oscar campaigns. However, thanks to ‘American Sniper,’ this January has bucked every trend. It may technically be a 2014 release, but Clint Eastwood’s war film has made the first chunk of 2015 interesting, shattering expectations and threatening to become the highest grossing film of last year in only a few weeks.

I doubt there are many people who have seen "American Sniper" and believe every detail is 100 percent accurate. After all, this is a movie trying to condense many years into two hours. But how much of Chris Kyle's story presented on the big screen is true, and how much was created for dramatic effect?
