Movie Lugers List--Spring 2006

Not a Luger, but in the final [two] episodes of 'Mob City' last night, one of Bugsey Siegels' henchmen uses what appears to be a nickel plated Mauser 'Broomhandle' to shoot at the protective detail of a witness...

Sort of an interesting TV series, with new special effects...It is supposedly based on the book 'L.A. Noir' by John Buntin, which I am reading now, which is a historical narrative of the times described...But the TV series is fictionalized using several central fictional characters [the book is factual]...However, there is another book with the same title ['L.A. Noir'] by James Elroy, the author of the highly successful book 'L.A. Confidential', both of which are works of fiction...Describing the same period, city, and gangland figures...

I saw a 2011 British-German action thriller film that contains prominent fairy tale elements, directed by Joe Wright, called Hanna. Hanna Heller (Saoirse Ronan) is a 15-year-old girl [4][5][6] who lives with her father, Erik Heller (Eric Bana) in rural northern Finland, near Kuusamo. The film opens with her hunting and killing a reindeer, first by shooting it with an arrow that just misses its heart, and then killing it with a handgun (Luger!!)..
