More Stories From "The Monuments Men"

My coverage of "The Monuments Men" came out today, February 9, 2014, on The Philippine Star. The online edition can be found through this link: http://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2014/02/10/1288483/fun-encounter-monuments-men.

The Cast of The Monuments Men
In my story, i reported the fun one hour I had with the stars of the movie. I focused on how Matt Damon was picked on by George Clooney and Cate Blanchett.

There were many other things that we talked about during the press conference. George lengthily addressed the questions by a couple of journalists from Israel about the stolen artworks that belonged to many prominent Jewish families during the war. He also discussed some scenes in the movie that depicted the harrowing atrocities the NAZIs committed. There was a German journalist who asked the cast how they find Germany which prompted George to relate how embarrassed he was during the casting of the German parts because all they offered were NAZI parts. One actor tried to rationalize the action of his character but George cut him off saying, "No, he is really bad!"

Follow the link above to read my story. I would like to share a collage of pictures i took from the junket, too.
