87. "The Way Back" (2010)

Tonight we're having a communist party (!) as we look at a part
of the War not often explored, the Russian camps. Storied
director Peter Weir ("Gallipoli") brought this true (?) story to
the screen in 2010, starring Ed Harris and Colin Farrell. The
result? An overlooked gem and a muscular statement against
Stalinism... Asides include, there are too many movies, Boris
Yeltsin's lost in the supermarket, Bill Cosby endorsed an '80s
dessert item to great effect, and why was Ed Harris so pissed at
the '99 Oscars?
