Movies from last year pt 1

Movies I watched last year but haven't commented on yet. Yes, I'm that lazy.

Movie Review: The Fog of War (2003)
Picking the mind of Robert S. Mcnamara, one of the chief architects of America's war policy in WW2 and Vietnam. Amazing to watch, even if it's only to see how he can somehow compare himself to a man willing to burn himself to death to stop a war. 7/10

Movie Review: Why We Fight (2005)
A documentary examining past military undertakings by the US government up to and including their current occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. A very interesting and well made film but it doesn't contain anything new for anyone who's paid attention to American military aggression in the last century. 7/10

Movie Review: Death of a President (2006)
A mockumentary about what would happen if current US President George D Bush were assassinated. It's very skillfully done but I have to agree with many others that it is a bit tasteless to choose a real person to be the focus of a fictional assassination film. I don't like Bush either but that's now how I want him to be removed from office and I think this film would have worked even better with a fictional President. 7.5/10

Movie Review: Apocalypto (2006)
Mel Gibson's amazing view of the Inca Empire during it's decline into oblivion. The acting, sets, costumes, settings, are all breathtaking. But in effect this movie is just a big chase scene. Yet it all works very well. 8/10

Movie Review: Cache (2005)
A clever French film about a couple that find themselves being videotaped

Movie Review: The Constant Gardener (2005)


Movie Review: Syriana (2005)

Movie Review: Sicko (2007)

TV Review: Corner Gas (Season 4)
