Darkest Hour

Saw this film last night. Two thumbs up. Nothing terribly original, but  entertaining and informative. Gary Oldman did a fantastic job as Churchill.

Pathfinder

Biography of John Fremont, intrepid explorer of the Western territories. Led several expeditions, discovered and documented the features of many new areas. Over 200 places are named after him. Senator (very briefly), military commander, territorial governor, anti-slavery advocate, author, presidential candidate. Habitually broke, poor businessman, wildly impetuous, cavalier sense of ethics.
