Others I watched:

Brother's Keeper - An interesting documentary detailing a murder case involving 4 shut-in elderly literate brothers. It can be a little slow, but I recommend it. It's available on netflix Internet streaming.

The Fog of War - Another excellent documentary from Errol Morris. He interviews former US Secretary of Defense from the Vietnam War who explains the eleven lessons he has learned. It's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I highly recommend it, particularly if you are a history buff.

Agreed.

It's funny how a Phillip Glass soundtrack can make a movie seem 100 times more intelligent than it is.

I was shocked throughout at how those guys lived. That whole film was like a time warp.

Fun Movie for the kids, tolerable for adults probably because Amy Adams was smoking hot...

I know this pissed off a lot of hippies who think McNamara has spent the last decade trying to whitewash his role in the war. I've been meaning to watch it myself to determine if he's passing the buck or legitimately acknowledging his mistakes.
