We saw "The Monuments Men" this weekend: really enjoyable despite the fact that the plot doesn't always progress smoothly .
Not that we needed it, but the true WWII story upon which it's based gives additional reason to be appalled by Nazism. Hitler ordered the stealing of works of art scattered all over Europe. Homes, churches, museums were looted. But there's even more: he ordered it to be burned in the event of his losing the war . . which happened. This movie tells the story of a group of Americans who set out to save and return the art pieces.
Big names star in the movie, among them one Bill Murray (we love "Groundhog Day"). He seems to be pretty unconventional even for Hollywood, to the point that he fired his agents and managers ten years ago and he's interviewed here.
