Jackpot

After weeks and weeks of searching, I finally bagged a copy of Munich, the latest Steven Spielberg flick. As I've maybe written about before, it's a real-life cloak and dagger film about the events initiated by the murder of Israeli athletes by Black September during the 1972 Munich Olympics. Particularly, it centers on the five MOSSAD agents sent to assassinate the ones perceived to be responsible for the crimes, and on the personal cost that service to God and country takes on the actual men who pull the triggers or press the detonator switches. It's supposed to be pretty violent and holds little back, doing for espionage films what Saving Private Ryan did for war movies. Been waiting for this for some time, and I'm gonna watch it asap. The film stars Eric Bana (Hulk, Troy), David Craig (Tomb Raider, the next James Bond), Goeffrey Rush (Pirates of the Carribbean, Mystery Men), Ciaran Hinds (Rome) and more.

Also got copies of Zathura (Jumanji in space!), Doom (why not...) and King Kong, which I amazingly have NOT yet seen, Peter Jackson epic regardless.

Nice stuff to watch. Hopefully I'll have time to see them all soon, despite a big shoot coming on me in the next couple of days. We'll see.
