The Diary of An...
Good 17 Points 2009

This is the famous WWII tale of Anne Frank and her family and friends, who hid from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic for 2 years. In this version, Ellie Kendrick does a great job as the vocal, inquisitive teenager who except for the circumstances is like any normal 13 year old. Even if you are al…

The banality of evil gets a powerful debunking in Operation Finale, an awkwardly if accurately titled docudrama about the Mossad’s 1960 capture of Final Solution logistics chief Adolf Eichmann in Argentina. Little Adolf was famously said to embody “the banality of evil” as he dissembled during …

The Reader
Really Great 66 Points 2009

Germans come to terms with Nazi evil in this spellbinding tale of inter-generational lovers. Searingly honest in its depiction of human weakness, the movie raises profound questions about how so many Germans participated in large scale evil within the heart of the civilized world.

The story’s…
