Munich: Movie
I found Munich to be a very interesting and well-made Movie, though partly down to my political interests.
It is truly an intriguing story, based on true events, for anyone with an interest in politics, war and undercover assignments.
The opening scenes of the Munich shootings at the 1972 Olympics are …

Arizona Days movie
Arizona Days, one of the many western motion pictures released way back in 1937, was just Tex Ritter’s 3rd movie. As one of the new singing cowboys, the big thing to note here is that his trusted horse, White Flash, wasn’t credited yet. That would change soon, …

Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead
My wife and I absolutely loved the 2001 movie Joy Ride. So, when we saw there was a sequel, we wanted to see it. However, when we rented it, we figured it probably would turn out not to be any good.
