    Saw both movies this weekend, two very good movies. Along with Syriana, these are the best movies I have seen in 2005 (and I have watched quiet a few).

    I saw Munich and it was awesome.

    The Producers was a big let down.

    The Producers is certainly not for everyone, but is more so targeted at a 'seasoned' audience. So I should've said if you're young or if you're young-at-heart (i.e. childish person who enjoys American Pie-type comedies over Something's gotta give ;) ) then yes, by all means, stick to low-comedy. :p

    Anyways, hopefully Munich will interest a few...

    Gwayneco, let's keep this in the Hangout, I merely thought I would recommend movies that I saw to those who haven't, which was done numerous times before.

    BTW, I agree with your point ;)

    It seems like a very political movie, and it was based on real events. It screams D & D to me, but others may differ.

    I agree it has a political end to it, much like Syriana did. But I was merely referring to the movie itself as far as giving it a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down'. I have seen plenty of political movies in my lifetime that sucked, and I wouldn't recommend for anyone at all.

    I understand where you're coming from though...

    please explain
    cause it seems to have interesting commercials

    Same with Hostel


    As for Munich . .. If I were the Palestinians I would be concerned as well.
    From their point of view. . . . .Speilberg is a Jewish person
    doing a movie about Jewish Palestinian relations

    This [TO THEM] would be like
    David Duke doing a movie about the Civil Rights Movement
    [just an exteme example. . not to put Speilberg in the same category]

    To be honest, the movie is more 'fair' in its portrayal of both sides than I would've expected coming in...especially a movie by Spielberg, who's revered in the Jewish community here and abroad for The Schindler's List

    Yea, but Steven Spielberg was never a person who actively has railed against Palestenians or Islam. David Duke on the other hand was on the Ku Klux Klan payroll.

    think along the lines of "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut..."

    but then again,

    I haven't seen the new Producers yet, but I did see the old movie and it was pleansatly entertaining. It isn't exactly laugh out loud funny like Southpark, though.
