07/19/2006 Overall I had a good experience with the last three movies I watched. I have to say that F for Fake is probably the best documentary I have ever seen. The Anarchists was an excellent movie that really made you feel for the characters no matter if you agreed with what they were doing or not. Matchstick Men was just entertaining and fun. Here is a picture from each movie in the order that they are listed above: [center][img]http://www.stylusmagazine.com/images/moviereviews/mv_fforfake_2.jpg[/img] [img]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00008DDWE.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.reelingreviews.com/matchstickmenpic.jpg[/img] I know it has been awhile since I have written in here, but it is just harder to do because I have become quite busy this summer. Until next time... [/center] See more Read all reviews
