DVD: "And Starring Pancho Villa As Himself"

I watched this DVD last night and enjoyed it very much.

It is an HBO movie, and like most of their works, the
film making value is quite high. I subscribed to HBO for quite
a while; only gave up on them because they would repeat the
same films about a million times. Now, I am pleased to use
Netflix.

Despite being an amateur history buff, I admit that I did not
know much about Pancho Villa. I remembered from high school or
college that he was some kind of bandit running around Mexico
and the Southwest who even had some run-ins with the U.S. Military.

This film is not only entertaining, but provides us with a
fascinating story of Pancho Villa, played well by Antonio Banderas,
as he makes a connection with the U.S. film industry in
order to promote himself and the cause of revolution in Mexico.

The movie makes us reflect on how news, image, advertising, big
business, and all the flavors of what we call the "media" swirl together
to form our opinions which are, at best, muddied, if we do not
explore and probe for the facts.

This DVD is well worth a look.
