How did the BBC find out what happened to untold billions in Iraq, but we somehow haven’t yet?

I’ll be checking this out later tonight, so I’ll have more thoughts then.

The award winning documentarian trains his patented eye on the events that happened at Abu Ghraib prison in a film coming out on April 25.
From watching the following clips, as well as Frontline’s searing Bush’s War, a pretty clear picture emerges and makes it incredibly difficult for the Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld to put [...]

The film Rendition was recently released on video, and if you haven’t seen it you should. It’s well told, heartbreaking and speaks to exactly why the practice of extraordinary rendition is not only inhumane but completely unjust, regardless of what the Jack Bauer crowd claims.
The DVD also includes a documentary called Outlawed: Extraordinary Rendition, Torture, [...]

I second Sully.
The thing that makes Coverfield endlessly watchable is the fact that it repackages a very political event without being political. Because what makes the story and the conceit of the “one camera perspective” so effective is 9/11. Sure, this film could be made in a pre-9/11 world, but it wouldn’t be nearly as [...]

Manufacturing Dissent is a new documentary about Moore and his tendency to bend the truth to fit into his seemingly predetermined storylines.
The Daily Dish reports on what it’s all about…
The film was produced by two Canadian, self-described liberals, who began as fans of Moore’s movies but in the process of investigating his claims, came to [...]

Certainly there is a fairness problem with broadcasters, but if we look at this problem objectively, we see it cannot be solved by dealing with the broadcasters alone. The bigger problem resides in the listeners, watchers, and readers…

The following preview is for a documentary that details our incompetence in trying to rebuild Iraq . The people in it were people who were there, saw the train headed in the wrong direction and couldn’t convince our administration they were going to end up where we are today.

Powerful stuff.
I also found a public television [...]

For more on this, see my post about Sicko and how it could scuttle the health care debate.

This has nothing to do with politics, unless you count fighting Nazis as political…
In any event…Indiana Jones is coming back! w00t!

As you all well know, Sicko is coming out soon and I’m holding my breath in fear. Why?
Well, of course I sympathize with the notion that things need to change since so many Americans live without healthcare and are one hospital visit away from financial ruin. And as I’ve said on this blog [...]

Let’s not even get into the fact that the movie shows planes flying into buildings. Bad taste alone should have prevented this being played INSIDE AN AIRCRAFT.
Thankfully people threw a fit over this move and Virgin has subsequently reconsidered showing the pathetic ‘Loose Change 2′ movie.
Find out more over at Hot Air.

The following YouTube vid is just one segment from the upcoming film Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi, and it certainly makes me think of Jesus Camp.

Much of this won’t come as a surprise to many of you, but I think it’s a good demonstration of what our children are being taught, [...]

A little Saturday movie blogging.

I can’t wait to see this one.

Brilliant.

I can’t wait to see this movie.
How about you?
UPDATE:
I just saw it tonight. It’s nice! I like!
But what’s truly frightening is what the character of Borat, who’s extremely racist and bigoted, brings out in the people who open up to him. Wow. If you go see it, you’ll understand.
In any event, I highly, highly recommend [...]

For all you fellow Kubrick fans…there’s this…
Stanley Kubrick never threw anything away. On the other hand, he didn’t have much of a filing system, and when he moved � permanently, it turned out � from Hollywood to London in 1962, a great many things went astray. Among them was the sole copy of a film [...]

I was going to write something, but Q and O did it for me in a post called “Fake but Accurate Isn’t Good Enough:
Look, there’s no way to sugar-coat the Clinton Administrations handling of terror in general, and Osama bin Laden in particular. In the case mentioned above, the culprit was apparently George Tenet, not [...]

I am asking in earnest, do you think that Jesus’ teachings advocate anything close to what you see here?
It’s a new film. It’s called Jesus Camp and it’s about the summer camps evangelicals send their kids to so they can become better trained Christians…emphasis on the “trained.” Supposedly, the film is very even handed [...]

The op-ed by Todd Beamer’s father, based on the Flight 93 movie, is behind the subscription firewall at the WSJ. Cardinalpark, however, has a key excerpt up over at Tigerhawk:

This film further reminds us of the nature of the enemy we face. An enemy who will stop at nothing to achieve world domination and force [...]

It opens next week. Will you go see it?
According to advance reviews, it doesn’t suck.

In the city where it will premiere next Tuesday, United 93 is being greeted�or repelled?�almost as if it were itself some kind of terror attack. Is the movie pornography? Exploitation? Too much too soon?
Having seen it once (apparently with what [...]
