Go Michael! Michael Moore does it again. He’s like the little boy who dares to tell us “the emperor is wearing no clothes”. “It’s a crime story. But it’s also a war story about class warfare. And a vampire movie, with the upper 1 percent feeding off the rest of us. And, of course, it’s also a love story. Only it’s about an abusive relationship. “It’s not about an individual, like Roger Smith, or a corporation, or even an issue, like health care. This is the big enchilada. This is about the … [Read more...]

The first film was a nice Venezuelan Gov't short about Mision Vuelvan Caras. Whilst in Caracas for the Trollparty I met a friend of … [Read more...]
