Saw Vice over the weekend. Bale and Rockwell are really good as Cheney and Bush but the movie over all was just fair. I'm not a fan of Bush or Cheney and believe the invasion of Iraq may be one of the biggest blunders by a president ever but the overly liberal slant still seemed over the top. I wish they would have gone a little deeper into the why instead of putting in a bunch of unnecessary crap. I was disappointed in it.

Rewatched The Pianist on Netflix. Such a great movie. Makes me sad to think how Hollywood keeps churning out comic book crap when they are capable of so much more."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I read the book. Loved the book. Movie is about 15% accurate to the book.
That is where I get letdown....I spent the entire movie pointing out the stuff that isn't correct to the book. Terrible habit.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Did a little research and it looks like pretty much everything in the movie was factual and portrayed as it happened. Crazy.
Also, it looks like the German officer who helped him helped several others. Sadly he died in a Soviet prison camp, but he has been given several posthumous awards which were accepted by his children."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?
