One of those rare exceptions where the sequel proved superior. _Mockingbird 2: White Vengeance_ remains Michael Bay’s finest _oeuvre_, for my money. ---

[QUOTE=interface2x] Yikes, I loved “The Good Shepherd”, too. I must be a really boring person! [/QUOTE] It’s a fine film but I can only sit through it once. I prefer my CIA movies to be more Jason Bourne than Jason Boring. I enjoyed Munich, but it is a very heavy movie and you need to be in the right frame of mind to watch it for three hours. ---

I didn’t like the movie much. I also thought it was boring. I watched it because it was based on a book I read about 15 years ago titled “Vengeance: The True Story Of An Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team” by George Jonas. I recommend that book highly. ---

[QUOTE=msmith537] It’s a fine film but I can only sit through it once. [/QUOTE] I was reminded by this of the Derek Malcolm Test for movies: “A great movie is a movie I cannot bear the thought of never seeing again.” I enjoyed _Munich_, but would never see it again… ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Hey, give him a break. _Schindler_ isn’t worthy to lick _Showgirl_’s sweaty g-string. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Vinyl Turnip] After all, this is not a man given to presenting counterintuitive interpretations of films based on personal biases and outlandish extrapolation. [/QUOTE] > [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > Why you disagreed eludes me, but it was sufficiently pretentious to earn mockery, especially since you are _so_ mock-able when it comes to film analysis.
