Argo
I wanted to see this movie because of it's political ramifications, especially with a presidential election not too far in our future. I went in knowing that the movie is based on a true story and even though this is a Hollywood production, I needed to view it as a semi-documentary. Although the end result was a satisfactory one from a human life aspect, I found it very disappointing in that how weak our government was in dealing with this situation. I thought the movie was prodding at times and my wife had to wake me up on three different occasions. What the movie did do for me is solidify my belief in the fact that this part of the world and their extremist views is something that the US will have to defend itself for not only through my lifetime, but for generations to come. I would not recommend seeing this movie at a theater, but would wait for a DVD release. I feel testament to this is the fact that tickets for this movie were on $6 for the matinee.
