Munich (2005)
Good film but go see the original
Munich is a well crafted film by the biggest director on the planet. Great pacing, suspense and cinematography. The biggest problem I had with the film is that I've seen it before. A little known film called THE SWORD OF GIDEON. Munich is almost a direct copy from the original. What a shame that Spielberg has to produce a remake of a much better film. Enough already with the remakes. People want to see original stories with fresh new ideas and writers. Why are independent films so successful, because the ones that are well made and tell a good story are box office darlings. It's amazing some Hollywood films have budgets north of 100 million. Just incredible how much money and time is wasted. If you want to understand what happened in the aftermath of Munich, rent THE SWORD OF GIDDEON.
Ararat (2002)
Terrible waste of 17 million dollars
As a proud Armenian and fellow film maker, I was excited to go see the film Ararat. From the get go, I was uninterested and bored. What was Atom thinking. Why make a film within a film? He should have depicted one family in a village and followed their plight over time from the invading Turks. I would have much preferred a Schindlers List style. Black/White, few if any moving camera shots etc... Dont see this movie. Judging by the box office, nobody did.
