Yeah...."what entertains me" is my approach too. As an amateur historian on my non-movie days, I've never expected much when it comes to "historical" movies. If anything, I'm curious how they will...

Re: Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis

Gee whizzo. Getting all worked up by a movie that nobody's seen yet. I'll reserve judgement until it's actually released and I see it (I certainly will).

Tonight is the night for a volcano....Dante's Peak. A pretty western town, favored by hotel goers is threatened by a volcano. Of course, authorities don't do enough, but just what CAN you do when...
