Bonus reviews: Mr. Peabody's Apples(a children's book) by Madonna 1/2* .. Just crap ... boring

Syriana:

Interesting one to see after all the documentaries .. I hope all this isn't happening for oil but who knows .. Very interesting and very good movie ... My third favorite 2005 release so far after Walk the Line(****1/2) and A History of Violence (****1/2) ...

Not the easiest movie to watch .. if you enjoyed the interlocking plots of Traffic (also written by Gaghan) you will like this.

George Clooney is absolutely fantastic... Chris Cooper is very good too... ****1/4
