Bordertown
« on: March 25, 2011, 05:14:47 PM »
I went to the library today and borrowed the movie Bordertown. It stars Martin Sheen, Jennifer Lopez, and Antonio Banderas( :drool:)

It is inspired on true happenings in Juarez, Mexico. It looks good and though it is through the eyes of Hollywood and in current news these days, I felt it would be interesting to know what is going on ,in the Border states.

Has anyone seen it? Feedback would be appreciated... Thanx Tania

Bear in mind, it's a MOVIE, so a lot of whatever they're portraying will be overemphasized and blown out of proportion.

Okie dokie.....Between these kinds of based on a true happening or story and the MSM., it is hard to know what is exagerrated and what is true. I should take this movie with a large grain of salt yes??

I probably would. "Inga" & I watched, "Unthinkable". After the movie, she was angry and in a foul mood. I was like, "WTF"?!?!?!? It's ONLY a MOVIE!! I thought it was fairly good a definitely "thought provoking".
