'Reel' Stuff

If you like a movie that makes you think, go see The Good Shephard. It's serious stuff and challenging movie-watching. The film offers a multi-layered presentation of the consequences that result from the path one chooses for one's life. The framework is the founding of the CIA and the type of men who were instrumental in setting it up. Choices are not good or bad but present various options that lead to specific consequences. The plot may be a bit complicated for the 'average' movie-goer, but if you're looking for something a bit deeper and more challenging than the typical hollywood flick, this fits the bill. I thought quite a few of the performances were really top-notch.
