Monuments Men

I went to see the movie Monuments Men. It's got a lot of big name male actors (Bill Murray, Matt Damon, John Goodman, George Clooney, Bob Balaban), all of whom I really like, but I was a bit worried that this might be one of those "last hurrah" movies that aging actors tend to drift to. Turns out it wasn't. Even though it's a war movie, it mixes a little bit of humor in with the drama, and of course, the good guys win in the end. I really enjoyed the movie and it inspired me to look up the true story behind it that prompted the movie - something you never hear about in high school history books.
