Highly Recommended

I watched the movie "Lions for Lambs" tonight. One of the best films I've seen in a very long time. Never mind that Tom Cruise is in it, put aside any preconceived notions about a Robert Redford film if you are of a conservative bent. Quite separate from the politics (which I admittedly agree with, but are secondary IMHO to the underlying message) -- it should be required viewing for every college student...and professor. Take the time to watch it, pretty powerful stuff.
