MunichGrade: A+ | Genre: Drama/Suspense
Summary: Munich is an important film that speaks as much about the world we live in as it does about the 1970s. It's a blast that is dehumanizing, leaves a litter of questions for every answer and opens up your mind to this senseless struggle that will outlive us all.

Its quite a chore to balance the books on Steven Spielberg's 2005. First, he revisited the sci-fi cornerstone Close Encounters of the Third Kind by importing War of the Worlds into the twenty-first century. It was a sorely lackluster experience, complete with a feel good, Hollywood ending and Tom Cruise battling aliens with his couch jumping skills in basements from sea to shining sea. It can only be described as silly Hollywood excess with Spielberg caught in the crossfire. Now he tries to make it all better, squeezing in his eleventh hour Oscar picture Munich. In doing so he's unveiling what is probably the most important film to come out this year. Munich is a tough film that looks to capture the eternal chaos fought between the Israelis and Palestines in the Gaza Strip, focusing on the impact wrought by one defining event -- Munich. These embattled peoples form one of modern times bloodiest struggles, and one that will never see a resolution as long as new generations of terrorists are born with every brother or father that is incinerated at the hands of a suicide bomber.
