Mr. Big and the Kennedy Assassination

Any movie with Mr. Big in it (Noth), and discussing the Kennedy assassination is MUST SEE.

By the way, it's so sad that most Americans actually take the Oliver Stone movie JFK as "truth". Oliver Stone took his theories from New Orleans DA Jim Garrison. Read up extensively about Jim Garrison, and you'll change your opinion.... For a much more realistic movie about a possible JFK conspiracy, search the internet and buy "Executive Action" (1973). It's a slow-moving movie, but has stars in it (Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Will Geer). This movie, though not "the truth", is at least reasonably based on fact.

Interesting assessment.

Actually, I have scanned the book by Mark Fuhrman on the physical evidence. Given everything I have seen in my lifetime (JFK was shot about 2 years before I was born.) The Fuhrman book seems to reconcile ALL of the physical evidence the best, to include audio tapes.

As for Jim Garrison, after his appearance in "The Big Easy" with Dennis Quaid,and Ellen Barkin .... what else do you need to know? Media/spotlight hound.

As for Christopher Noth ... I rented the DVD based on his face on the cover, and the write up on the back. I had some expectation of quality, given his name recognition, and acting ability. I was mistaken. At the end of this film, I was left with the deep feeling that he did this film because of his deep, unsatisfied need to ...

make his next mortgage payment.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and it isn't pretty.

That, pretty much, sums up this film.
