Classified X This history of anti-black racism in American cinema could've been really good but unfortunately, even at 52 minutes, it feels long and dull. The points Melvin Van Peebles makes may be all too true but the way in which he presents them comes off not so much as biting social commentary or enlightening historical narrative but rather like listening to the drunk guy in the corner of the bar grouse about the state of the world for an hour. |

a lot of talking heads and a lot of graphs/charts, but what do you expect? It's a documentary about mortgages and wall street. That being said, there were some really powerful and revealing interviews. I loved the interviewer's (directors?) wit, too. Saying things like "Forgive me but you can't be serious?" when interviewees would say ridiculous things. It was definitely worth watching, even if only for the one liners such as "Americans are, for the first time in history, less prosperous and less educated than their parents" and "Inequality of wealth in the United States is now higher than in any other developed country" Also, great aerial cinematography. |
The Box
starring Cameron Diaz had a good premise, disappointing development |

they shoulda used the gothic-like template of the Marvel comics mini-series edit - I also believe the books were set in Puritan-era America |
Never Let Me Go
http://cambridgetab.co.uk/wp-content...go-poster1.jpg I quite liked it, but I feel it didn't impact me as much as the book. That being said, it was still pretty upsetting and very enjoyable. Well, as enjoyable as a very quiet and sad movie can be. |

I love this movie Dead and Breakfast. This is pretty much the American version of Shaun of the Dead. There is a great scene where the zombies start singing and break out into country line dancing. |
