REVIEW

Andrew: Hello, dear readers! As you may know we’ve been on a bit of a break because of our recent move from New England to Georgia, but we recently were able to see a couple of films this past weekend and we’re getting back into the movie reviewing game! 

The first film we saw this weekend was The Monuments Men, a recently released film directed, written and produced by George Clooney and starring George Clooney plus a host of other big names: Bill Murray, John Goodman, Matt Damon among others.

The film is based on the true story of a squadron of art historians and experts that went overseas during World War II on a mission to save famous art and artifacts from Hitler’s rule.

So, this is one that we have been looking forward to for a while, especially since it got pushed back from it’s original release date in December to February...

Sarah: Which means that it wasn’t able to be a contender for this year’s Oscars.

A: Correct. So, now that we’ve seen it, what did you think of The Monuments Men?
