- [disliked] Feast of Love (2007 Robert Benton) I could have done without this film. Their relationships seemed too false. Too forced. Then Morgan Freeman as the all-seeing, all-knowing, wise, Socratic narrator. Spying on the neighbors all the time. Always hanging out at the coffee shop. Came off somewhat annoying. What was the point of this film?! I learned to never get married.
- [par] Manufacturing Dissent (2007 Rick Caine, Debbie Melnyk) A Michael Moore'esk film on Michael Moore. Could you sit through an hour and half of it?
- Now I'd hate to compare Moore to all the greats in history but I can't shake the feeling that somehow, somewhere, the opposing side will force him to drink a poison hemlock after inspiring some youth and annoying too many powerful figures.
- Yes he's very one sided. Yes he lies. And yes, he's very much a dick. But he does bring up issues worth considering. Plus he solidifies the fact that you can't trust anything you read or watch. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
- [liked] Street Thief (2006 Malik Bader) Tempting. I've seen many a films that follow this idea of filming something that really shouldn't be filmed. Weather it is real or not, it's still very interesting to watch. When Shaun of the Dead first came out I actually drove to Woodridge, IL to see the film. It was the closest city that carried the movie yet a month later it came to my hometown.
Wow, I can't believe I watched only three movies all month. Shame.
