NOT A PART OF MY COLLECTION

Not bad for kids. Light and easy to watch, this was a good interpretation of the classic cartoon. But overall, it didn’t do enough for me…

JFK (THE DIRECTOR’S CUT)

A TOP TEN FILM!

A gripping and highly complex drama/thriller based around the true and supposed events surrounding the assassination of JFK.

This film passionately presents in argument that he was assassinated by members of his own government, and whist on paper Oliver Stone is saying such, the film spins a complex web of theories and conclusions that suggest and dismiss and reignite themselves, leaving a whole host of culprits.

But second shooter, Bell Helicopter, or Johnson’s coup or not, this film demonstrates the power politics meeting celluloid, dazzling its audience with such a plausible argument, and presenting it with such zeal that by the time you take a breath, you’re not sure what to believe, and often opt for the easy choice, taking on board the smoke and mirrors.

But when all is said and done, this is just a movie, and like the books it is based upon, not fact, just theory. But as a film, this is powerful and persuasive stuff…
