Now that I’ve seen Blitz, the new film written and directed by Steve McQueen, I’m going to rank some famous types of blitzes:

5. The bombing Blitz of London: I’m sure grateful that I was fortunate enough not to live through this!
4. Blitz the Movies: The movie about the bombing Blitz has some elements that are worth recommending. Maybe I would’ve liked it more if I were British.
3. Football Blitzing: This is an exciting strategy, but it can be dangerous.
2. It’s Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs: This album features “Heads Will Roll.”
1. NFL Blitz the Video Game Series: Totally buckwild.

Grade (for the Movie): 7 Trains out of 11 Odysseys
