Total Misrepresentation of Mustang
Reviewed by ki11ergirl for Love Ranch at 2010-10-04 23:16:14
Horrible and thats why it bombed nobody wants to hear about Sally and the boxer viewers are interested in the true nitty gritty about Joe and the girls, the life at Mustang what really happened, Sally was never even there, the highlight and center of the moview whould have focused on Joe, thats what all the talk shows were about, i should know i was on all of them and was one of Joes girls for ten years , this movie was boring and a total misconception of the ranch ,would have done better if the focus would have been on Joe and the girls, the drama behind the brothel doors, the relationship between Joe and the girls and the events there. Sally was never there who cares about her and the boxer, I know the real juicy facts, not only did i work there i was Joes main girl for 5 yrs. i know the true real nitty gritty dirt

The Sheepish Shepherd
Reviewed by www.BraidedThreads.blogspot.com for The Good Shepherd at 2008-10-09 11:54:27
http://braidedthreads.blogspot.com/2008/10/sheepish-shepherd.html It struck me how little the main character (played by Matt Damon) actually does in this movie. He never makes any active choices - when he is directing things for the CIA, he announces, and others carry out his decisions. He is pretty blank as a character. He does make a couple of choices with regard to his son, though. But he also doesn't choose to deter his son beyond his vague suggestions about life in the CIA. Most other decisions are made for him and he follows orders when he is not giving orders. He does make the choice to turn around in the hallway and go back to the Skull and Bones innitiation. He chooses that life. He does what is expected of him. He has sex when he is dragged into it, he gets married when the girl getspregnant, he goes overseas when asked.
