Two Movie Recommendations

Both of these movies are older movies, but things we did not get to see when they came to the theater.

The first one is Defiance.  Daniel Craig and Liev Schriber play as the leads in this movie.  It is about a band of Jews who hide from the Germans during World War II in the forest.  It is based on a true story.  The brothers in the story are called "The Beliski Brothers".  I probably did not spell that correctly, but you can probably look it up on the the Internet.  They hid from the Germans for over two years and survived.  We are not talking about six or seven people.  It was probably closer to a hundred, maybe even more. 

I love history, but do not usually enjoy movies about the Jews being hunted by the Germans, but this movie is so different and has a good ending, not the usual one where Hitler is involved.  Hitler is not even ever seen in this movie.  It is long, so it is not something you want to start to watch at eight or nine at night.  Enjoy!  It is a extremely good movie, based on a true story. 

The other movie we recently watched was Broken Arrow.  It stars John Travolta and Christian Slater and a few other actors that usually always play bit roles.  It came out probably ten to 14 years ago.  John Travolta makes an excellent bad guy and I would much prefer to see him in these kinds of movies, than Grease.  (I know I'm probably the only person in the world who does not like that movie)  It is worth watching, especially if there is nothing else on the television. 

Later, more movie reviews to come as I work on a new chapter in my book.  Have a great day!
