In the Line of Fire

I had intended to post on something different:

Fly Me to the Moon is a 2024 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum,  Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson.

I had also thought I would cover Sports: Wimbledon, Copa America and Euro 2024.

Or, continue to post about joyful restaurants (Lumi, Snack Bar) and music nights (at Berlin) that I am discovering in Minneapolis.

Butler is less than an hour away from Sewickley (where I live), and Bethel Park High School is in one town over from South Park High School where I gave a commencement speech to high school graduates in 2008. I was invited because I received the 2007 Carnegie Science Center Innovation in Information Technology Award for SmartOps.

Instead, let me mention two movies that came to mind that deal with an assassination attempt on a US president.

Vantage Point is a 2008 American political action thriller film. It grossed $152 million (on a budget of $40 million).

In the Line of Fire is a 1993 American political action thriller film directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich and Rene Russo. It grossed $187 million against a $40 million production budget.
