Dean Barnett takes one for the team, viewing The Good Shepherd so you don't have to:
Last night the bride and I made it out to the multiplex to see “The Good Shepherd.” Since thoughtful people like Larry King had hailed the movie as “THE BEST SPY MOVIE EVER,” I had high hopes. Sadly, I found it tedious and dull. I guess there’s a certain film-making virtuosity required to make the founding days of the CIA boring, but this is one kind of creative genius that I failed to appreciate.
It is the genius that has made modern Hollywood
what it is today. And
what it will be in the future.
