Hollywood has gotten into the habit of taking classic films and remaking them for a new generation. I believe there are pro’s and con’s to this.  Ben-Hur being the latest of such remakes (and a remake of a remake of a remake, no less), tells the story of Judah Ben-Hur back in the First Century A.D., a young Jewish royal falsely accused of treason who regains his name and honor during a pivotal chariot race.

With the U.S. Presidential election turning into a bad reality show I decided to take the time to watch the film All the Way. Produced by HBO, this film follows President Johnson after the assassination of Kennedy and the 1964 civil rights bill.  It is great to be reminded of how far our country has come. Not to be too political by any means. read article
