"elders of zion:" among the worst and potentially destructive films--sorry, movies--i have ever seen. my three pages of notes studded with exclamation points and clusters of question marks attest to my reaction of "WTF?!!" the entire way through. it has: zero artistic integrity, zero intellectual integrity, zero analysis, zero logic, poor ( Read more... )
