The best feeling I could have was when I was on the back roads far

More recently‚ we’ve seen a great upswing in Hollywood producing movies based on historical events‚ or people. To name a just a couple‚ Argo and Lincoln are both movies that are based on actual history. While its clear Recount has some major and deep flaws in its writing‚ sometimes the 100% true events must be forfeited if the movie is to reach a mass audience. Movies like Argo (which I’ve
