Argo Great Film 6 bucks Village East Cinema before noon!



So moving....WOW...see this film!!!!!!!!!!!  Based on a true story of American's taken hostage in Iran -- it is a heart stopping true story.

This film is so good --- look at the article above for a colorful photo with Ben Affleck, John Goodman and Alan Arkin to give a hint this film is entertaining, a roll coaster ride and I don't read the next sentence if you don't want the ending revealed.

It ends happy, you see photos of the real photo vs actors, and Jimmy Carter gives us a summary at the end.

I shed some tears.



This is not Petraeus and company, dumb and dumber but our hero CIA agent Tony Mendez is everything you wish Petraeus was rather than writing character references for Jill Kelley's sister and think of Benghazi, Tony Mendez was so courageous, gutsy no wonder he was given an award - a star and not on Hollywood walk of fame.  I was impressed by the story, the acting and story telling.

Did Obama's administration really sell the YouTube lie in an era when our President has his own YouTube channel and FYI, I am a subscriber but I couldn't vote for Obama who is Bush lite.  I vote for the Green Party.

I am disappointed from  The White House to Albany to City Hall and just had a shocker with the NYPD that has changed my life and perceptions completely.

This film gave me hope and makes you appreciate how lucky you are to be alive and safe if in fact you are.

I see Oscars for Affleck's Argo.

ps if you see Argo in the East Village before noon you will pay 6 dollars versus Lincoln which costs 14 dollars.  http://www.villageeastcinema.com
