The Stasi employed 100,000 East Germans, who maintained a network of 200,000 informants, in a country of 16 million people. So roughly 1% of the population controlled the other 99%. Ring any bells America? 1 The Lives of Others, a Stasi romantic drama, was the first perfect movie about t…

J. Robert Oppenheimer is an American hero, flawed like most, resolute when it mattered. The Father of the Atomic Bomb saved countless US Marines, sailors and airmen when his work forced Imperial Japan to surrender short of an amphibious attack on Tokyo. (That would have made Iwo Jima look like …

A neo-classic military oriented thriller with some great twists and turns (literally, and in the plot). If you are a Connery fan — you won’t be dissappointed. |
