Three movies: To watch out for

First will be Syriana which is about the oil industry. The Middle East story. How Stephen Gaghan tracked down Robert Baer who wrote the book about the industry was equally interesting as he partied with the oil barons and arab sheiks. Stephen Gaghan is also amazingly doing a movie on Malcom Gladwell's book, Blink. How? I don't know.

Second will be Munich which is about the murders of the 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics. More specifically, what happened after the murder as an Israeli hit squad attempted to track down the murderers.

Third will be Mel Gibson's second foray into movies that definitely require subtitles. First it was The Passion of Christ which was in Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic. Now it's Apocalypto which is Maya. What the hell? It's about some adventure set in god (haha!) knows how many years ago.
