    Deleted my response. Interesting story, since I was but a wee lad when that happened. That Willem guy....what a piece of work in real life.

      The movie was a disappointment. I don't think it could figure out what it wanted to be. It would have been more interesting if it had been about I.F. Stone as suggested in the publicity leading up to it.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              Closed Circuit:

              Two former lovers have to defend a terrorist. Believe me, the "lovers' past" angle is not really important to the plot. However, a tinfoil hat is. A big thick one. Suspend all disbelief and strap in. Entertaining, but man, that is one big conspiracy theory.

                Watched the ID4 sequel on HBO. meh. Plot holes galore, bad acting, only average special effects, etc. Goldblum/Pullman/Spiner were the only reasons to watch that movie. Not nearly as good as the original, which was a summer blockbuster but had some heart behind it. 5 or 6 out of 10 at best.

                        A gorgeous film. Branagh is amazing as Poirot. Dazzling cast. I finished the book a few weeks ago and was afraid it would be too similar. Most of the story is familar but there are enough changes to make it fresh. No spoilers but I can see why people are disappointed with the solution to the crime. I was satisfied but your mileage may vary. I give it an 8.5/10. It is around 65% on Rotten Tomatoes.

                          Read the book years ago. Was excited for this movie upon seeing the trailers for it recently.

                          Then I looked it up on Twitter hoping for some early reviews: silence.

                          Then NPR released this scathing review this morning which tempered my expectations.

                          Now, when I do get around to seeing it, I'll make sure to just enjoy the scenery chewing.

                            It got ripped in the MPLS paper, but I'm not a fan of the critic overall, so I'll give it a whirl when it hits home video.

                              Decided to watch Field of Dreams last night, for probably the third time. My wife chides me because I tend to like dark movies, and here I am bawling over a rewatch of that movie. How does that happen? Is it Iowa?

                                MotOE is holding steady at 60% on RT. Daddy's Home 2 is getting hammered with a 16%.

                                Early word on Justice League is that the story is a mess but no one cares because they had fun and Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash were so ****ing awesome. The film is still under review embargo until Wednesday (not a good sign) but critics can tweet initial reactions.

                                It's amazing to me how Jason Mamoa has changed the image of Aquaman. When I was a kid he was always the least important member of Superfriends (including Gleek) and was the target of ridicule. Now he's cooler than Batman and Superman...
