"Magic Bullet Theory"

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2000
Review: I recently rented the movie J.F.K. and I was shocked and horrified to say the least. My stomach turned with the possibility that there really might have been a conspiracy reaching as high up as L.B.J. Now I know that Oliver Stone took alot of...

A Better Fiction

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 1999
Review: Oliver Stone once responded after someone said his "JFK" was fiction by saying, "Well, yes, but it is a better fiction than the Warren Commission Report." or words to that effect. How accurate "JFK" is to historical facts I am not certain, but I did...

JFK (1991)

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2000
Review: Detractors of JFK have compared the film with the notorious Nazi propaganda film Triumph of the Will. The comparison is unfair, since Jim Garrison wasn't Adolf Hitler, and Garrison is depicted as human (although heroic).

But it is true that...

"Back, and to the left... back, and to the left... back, and to the left."

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: If viewed strictly as a movie, JFK is a four-star piece of entertainment. As history, though, it's bunk. Watch it for the craft, not its "facts."
Review: 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...

The greatest example of the power of film

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2000
The Bottom Line: "JFK" is as powerful as it gets. It has a purpose and message that is great, and Stone's direction is at its very best.
Review: I have grown up basically a child of the 90s. This last decade is the one I remember from my childhood. I didn't grow up in the 60s and thusly can't remember the crazy events that took place and the overall strange feeling that the country seemed to...

JFK--The Story That Won't Go Away

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: JFK remains a challenging film that poses some very challenging questions about a horrific event in U.S. history
Review: A little more than ten years now have passed since director Oliver Stone unleashed his furiously controversial film JFK on the world, and its effects are still being felt.

While Stone can be faulted on the grounds of taking as the basis...

Truly disproves the single bullet theory - sorry Arlen!!

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2000
Review: I LOVE Gary Oldman and that is probably the #1 reason I went to see this movie. He always seems to transform himself into whatever character he plays (i.e., "Sid and Nancy"). So I couldn't wait to see how he did as Lee Harvey Oswald. (He did great!)...

A compelling, brilliant work

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2000
The Bottom Line: A riveting, shocking and entertaining movie.
Review: "JFK" is a masterpiece. It is definitely Oliver Stone's best film, and brings together an all-star cast that does more than delivers. We get to see Kevin Costner's best performance, and terrific work from Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones, Walter...

A Patriot must be prepared to defend his Country against it's Government.

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: Maybe Stone isn't mad after all...
Review: 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...
