"We're talking about our government here. No, we're talking about a crime pure and simple".
Unlike 9/11 or the Challenger disaster I cannot say I remember where I was when I heard about John F Kennedy being shot because I wasn't on this mortal coil yet (Wasn't born until almost 15 years after that day in Dallas). My first exposure to the assassination was in one of those Cornerstones Of... Read full review »
Oliver Stone?s JFK: Reflections- Closer than You Think
Oliver Stone has received a great amount of condemnation since releasing his excellent movie JFK in 1991. The movie is an artistic endeavor to pry into one of the most troubling crimes of the twentieth century- the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. While critics might, as Clay...

Don DeLillo Is Right (As Usual)
Don DeLillo (who wrote a speculative account of Lee Harvey Oswald's life entitled Libra) called Oliver Stone's JFK "like Disneyland for conspiracy theorists." And he was quite right. If you are looking for an analysis of this film's accuracy (terrible), technical craft (honorable), and enjoyment... Read full review »
Just Fantastically Krazy
I wasn't even born until a few months after this movie ends but I have always been minorly fascinated with JFK - I probably caught that from my mother. Even so, I had to carefully consider whether I had three hours to devote to this topic. Admitedlly I watched it in chunks and not one whole sit... Read full review »
I wouldn't want people sticking their fingers in my bullet holes
My feeling is this: if you're meant to see a movie, hear a band, or see the beauty in a painting, it'll happen in its own time. I'm so used to being the guy in the room who still hasn't seen Forrest Gump or heard most of The Beatles' catalogue that I no longer even try to small-talk entertainment... Read full review »
"Back, and to the left... back, and to the left... back, and to the left."
One of the consequences of the shoddy and – let's be frank here – boring manner in which American history has been taught in our schools is that most of us acquire most of our "knowledge" about historical figures and/or events from movies and TV shows that are primarily made to entertain or, in the...

JFK: Is it THE TRUTH, or "the truth"?
Remember, there's THE TRUTH (Shakes head with a menacing look) and "the truth". (Shakes head with a happy look on his face)
- Lionel Hutz, "The Simpsons"
We all know what happened on November 22, 1963. It has become as much a part of American society as July 4, 1776 or December 7, 1941...

When You Don't Know the Truth, Make Something Up: JFK
JFK (1991)
"Help, I'm stepping into the Twilight Zone
The place is a mad-house, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?
…
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone."...

A Patriot must be prepared to defend his Country against it's Government.
Oliver Stone has often been derided as a paranoid conspiracy theorist who tends to use the cinema as a battleground for his own personal wars. As a Vietnam Vet, he tends to plan his projects in the same way the Nazis planned their fateful raid on Stalingrad - bold in concept, meticulously planned,... Read full review »
It's Up To You...
There are many things surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy that make one wonder. Why such a cover up of the files that the FBI and CIA hold on the issue?

Film critics who ply their trade as armchair historians usually despise Oliver Stone's JFK. Not because of the facts it puts on the screen, but because of the fiction.
