I appreciate being both educated and entertained (you should be a history teacher and no, I didn't learn about the Warsaw uprising in high school, but when I read Mila 18). So now that I have been brought up to speed on the film, I will definitely pass. That must be heart-breaking for Matt and Jeff to hear, since I have complete access to Jason's collection, 24/7. But as the platitude goes, we often don't realize what we have until we've lost it. And now that your review is complete, there is some snow outside that needs shoveling...

So, if the library has it, maybe I will see it on the day my interest in Polish history peaks and I am compelled to look this up. Well … I have not watched either of the films reviewed to this point, or “Shampoo” for that matter.

Plus, I don’t have Netflix, or cable, or …

So, if the library has it, maybe I will see it on the day my interest in Polish history peaks and I am compelled to look this up.

But...to keep with the integrity of this project - I will not post a reveiew for a film I have not seen. Suffice it to say, though, that "Shampoo" kicked ass.
