The American
Director: Anton Corbijn
With: George Clooney, Violante Placido, Paolo Bonacelli, Johan Leysen, Thekla Reuten

First, the good things.  The movie is beautiful, filmed mostly in Abruzzo hill country in Italy.   George Clooney is in superb physical shape.  That is all.
A thriller about a man, Jack or maybe Edward (Clooney), who builds weapons for assassins on an as-needed basis, and is disconnected from real life.  He escapes being killed in Sweden, goes to Italy, and calls Pavel (Leysen), who is maybe his boss or something.  He tells Pavel that he wants out.  Ha ha.  Then, he disappears into the hills.

Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans five years ago this week. Katrina's impact went beyond the loss of life and property to reveal deeply rooted attitudes about race many Americans thought had withered away. Jo Ann and Dave talked about the various aspects of Katrina's impacts, including the permanent displacement of over 100,000 residents, the reshaping of the city and the federal indictments against the New Orleans police.
