Back, and to the left....

Rating: 6/10 (26 September 1999)

Back, and to the left. Back.....and to the left. Three hours of film and this is the only thing I can recall. To me, JFK was just 150 script pages of Oliver Stone's paranoia and bizarre ideas. It seemed more suitable for a fanatic's webpage dedicated to his findings and beliefs, not a huge motion picture than someone against all laws of the universe snagged a Best Picture nod. (really sorry about last run on sentence) My head got so swamped with all this craziness, that I began to wonder what I was actually seeing. Some people have called this movie boring, and for most skeptics, it IS boring. Those X-Philes and Anti-Government will probably love this, but the average working class schmoe has no patience for THREE HOURS of what I thought to be nonsense. It had little or no basis in reality, and I think the only thing I really understood was Back, and to the left.....
