Is This Something?

Someone made a docudrama about the daily life of William Barr.

It's coming out September 20th.

I liked the fourth entry, Rambo, a lot.

Actually, I've liked all of them except the biggest money-maker, Rambo: First Blood Part II. I thought that one was pretty trashy.

BTW, definitely listen to Stallone's commentaries for Rambo and Rocky Balboa. He is actually informative and talks about problems encountered during the movie -- it's not just all happy-talk about this cinematographer being a genius and this casting director being a peach. He really gets into, for example, having to cut budget and economize because he's not the big star he was in the 80s any more, or a conflict he had with the original director of Rambo, resulting in that guy being fired and Stallone just directing himself, or of writing Rocky Balboa as a confessional about his own life as an over-the-hill guy that no one wanted to give a shot to any longer. Personal stuff, and informative.

I just realized that, with this movie now having a release date, the cable channels will begin running the older Rambo movies. Whoo-hoo! I haven't seen First Blood in 20 years!

I wonder if it holds up.
