The Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd is a historical drama depicting the origins of the CIA. The style is subtle and the story is told in several time periods. There is intelligence and counter intelligence, you never know who is telling the truth....they're all spies. The film is slow and about 30 minutes too long, but a quality drama.

Women, Webs and Wonder in DVD

Three very different genres of film are out in DVD this week.

The foreign film Volver is a creative story of an interesting woman. Penelope Cruz turns in an outstanding performance.

The family film, Charlotte's Web, is a strong portrayal of the classic story of loyalty and friendship. This version is heartfelt and pretty clever.

The historic drama The Good Shepherd depicts the early days of the CIA. Star studded, this is a strong drama, with interesting insight to the effects of power and intelligence.

A good week for rentals!
