Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

Robert McNamara, RIP

July 6th, 2009 at 10:24am Will Pfeifer

Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, nicknamed “the architect of the Vietnam War,” has died at the age of 93. He wasn’t a movie star, of course, but there is a fascinating movie about him. Errol Morris’ THE FOG OF WAR is really nothing but a long interview with McNamara, but it’s a compelling interview, and Morris uses some imaginative techniques to bring history to life. I highly recommend renting it when you get a chance.

Here’s the trailer…
