The MOVIEGUIDE review for Munich is up.

Soak it in.

Critics and awards committees have not been very kind to Steven Spielberg's new movie about the 1972 massacre of 11 Israelis at the Summer Olympics in Munich and Critics its aftermath. Yet, it's a much better movie than most of the other movies picked, especially the current favorite BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

Two points: (A) Did I miss something? Aren't critics being VERY kind to the film? Hasn't it made nearly every top ten list? (B) Does everything with these people have to somehow relate to Brokeback Mountain?

MUNICH is a mesmerizing, provocative work, but intelligent conservatives, friends of Israel and Christians will be disturbed by its liberal political conclusions about Israel and the War on Terror. Many will also be asking themselves, was all that blood, sex, nudity, and obscenity necessary to tell this story? MOVIEGUIDE® doesn't think they were necessary.

Mesmerizing, yet a total waste of time. Thank God for MOVIEGUIDE, I'd hate to ever think anything nasty about Israel. But what do you expect from a raging Anti-Semite like Spielberg, I mean come on, this guy makes Mel Gibson's dad look like Woody Allen.
