Munich | DVD Review

"Thinly veiled as a brief insight into the production, this [introduction] is merely an opportunity for Spielberg to defend himself to his Jewish critics who accused him of misrepresenting the Mossad as unjustified monsters..."

DVD Review: Brokeback Mountain (Widescreen Edition)

The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
