I like Argo a lot. It took awards after awards, I was sure they have a reason, and after I saw the movie, I understood why. The movie is flawless and it is a good movie. It is "based on a true story", it wasn't the true story. I read that after presenting the movie at the Toronto Film Festival, the Canadian critics were upset for glorifying the CIA instead the Canadian Ambassador who helped so much.

No more Pope at the End of the Month!
Less than an hour ago, the news started to change dramatically since the first sources told all the same thing, or variations of the same thing.
