Only watched one film this week, all the rest as been television series... that movie is Emilio Estevez' Bobby (2006), the film was occasionally good but never spectuclar.
Some of the cast where great, most of all Freddy Rodriguez, Laurence Fishburne (who's in it very little), Anthony Hopkins, Harry Belafonte, Demi Moore and William H. Macy. Some of the cast was pretty forgettable such as Heather Graham and Helen Hunt, who when not on screen you completely forgot they where part of the movie, whilst others such as Shia LaBeouf and Ashton Kutcher seemed to be in a different movie to everybody else.
The film dealt with the day Senetator and Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy is due at the Ambassador Hotel on the day he would be assassinated in 1968. It's more about the characters and what they are doing and a little bit about Kennedy himself.
The use of the newsreel footage was pretty great, there where some great songs (if some where a little too predictable) and I geniunly do think as a director/writer Estevez as a better film in him somewhere down the line.
I'll just go and say I semi-recommend it...
