![]() Killing Kennedy could easily be titled Kennedy’s Killer given its salutary focus on Lee Harvey Oswald. JFK we knew. It’s unfortunate then that Killing Kennedy spends time on the Leader of the Free World’s womanizing. Given 90 minutes of real runtime, bikinis take away from also understanding …

![]() Can you really make an entire feature length film out of a single day’s events following JFK’s assasination? Well, yes – by following four different stories: Zapruder the famous film-maker, The Oswalds, the law, and the emergency room doctors and nurses. The result is a bit muddled, but keeps … |

![]() Highly stylized though affecting movie brings a comik sensibility to an ancient battle. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would, since King Leonidas makes a great hero and his wife a worthy Queen.

![]() Inspired by a true story that harkens back to 1204 Norway, things were tense and back and forth fighting with Norway ruled the day. Just a sliver in time that represented a hair more sophistication than nomads fighting each other. |

![]() Oliver stone directs Kevin Costner and an all star cast in the ultimate whodunnit: JFK. With an abundance of flair, one definitely is left questioning everything. |

![]() Ok, so although I was dragged in to this as an unwilling participant — who could argue with watching Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson for a few hours? They both convincingly played Ann Boleyn and Mary Boleyn through the drama of being consort and wife of Henry the 8th. Eric Bana, an unkno… |
