Operation Valkyrie: The Stauffenberg Plot to Kill Hitler
So you’ve seen the Tom Cruise *Valkyrie* and you’re wondering, Is that how it actually went down? Turns out, pretty much.
Year: 2009
DVDs and screeners received: ‘President Barack Obama: The Man and His Journey,’ ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000: XIV,’ more
Another new feature I thought you might like. I receive more DVDs in the mail than I can possibly ever review, but this way I can at least let know about some new things that are out there that you might be interested in. This are all Region 1, though I’ll note if they’re available … more…

Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
watch it: “Ninja cat comes closer while not moving!”
As promised, Friday’s “web video of the day” is now given over to cat videos, at least until we run out of cat videos. Which means we’re good till the heat death of the universe:
