my birthday movie

Munich - sadly interminable. hope for an end begins to grow when the initial end-point, the elimination of the terrorist medusa, evolves into a game of watching the non-Mossad Mossad get picked off. i was initially apprehensive about going because of story inaccuracies (not the soft whining about "relativism"), but was quite quickly turned off the film by my growing desire to complete my end-of year financial spreadsheet. as for non-damning faint praise, the lighting in some countries was great - though others really did feel like they were recorded in the 70s.

p.s. - still a good flick; good acting - geoffrey rush is fun, and ciaran hinds (aka Gaius Julius Caesar) is nice.

p.p.s - see here for someone who puts munich on top; i often love his regular opinions, but he is sadly leaving slate.
