Poison Gas
PostedSeptember 17, 2010

This powerful and important doc reveals the horrific damage to earth, water, and people resulting from "fracking," a method for extracting natural gas from shale deep below the earth's surface. Josh Fox has traveled the country to record the heartbreaking stories of people who have lost their health and the value of their land to fracking. The doc should be mandatory for viewing by all students in American schools. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Life Imitates Film

The distinction of this movie, beyond superb acting, direction, cinematography, etc., is to show how vitally integrated economics is in our lives. It also proposes that for the family at the center of the action "la vie est le cinéma et le cinéma est la vie." All of this is conveyed with subtlety and intelligence. Extraördinaire!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is for viewers open to a love story about twenty-somethings with a sweetness beneath their innocence (Jesse Eisenberg) and their hurt (Kristen Stewart). The movie also offers amusing though stereotyped satire of suburban families and Reagan-era dopiness in our popular culture. Martin Starr, as a book-loving existentialist, and Margarita Levieva, as a gorgeous airheaded tease, lead an interesting supporting cast.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Comic Stripped
PostedJanuary 4, 2009

This well-drawn animated film walks the treacherous line between estheticizing the brutal experience of war and trying to humanize both the soldiers and the victims. The horrors it treats are especially hard to sit through while a re-run plays on TV as Israeli tanks roll into Gaza. As well executed as this film is, I would not recommend it to anyone already familiar with the infamous massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
