    by PETER TRAVERS
    Does George Clooney have a box-office death wish? You have to wonder why the star of Ocean’s Eleven would risk his standing as a pinup for ka-ching to direct, co-write and co-star in a movie set in the 1950s, shot in black-and-white and focused on a fifty-year-old battle between TV newsman Edward R. Murrow, indelibly played by David Strathairn, and the Commie-hunting Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
    Wonder no more. Clooney knows exactly what he’s doing: blowing the dust off ancient (…)

    Robert Greenwald’s upcoming documentary about Wal-Mart’s predatory practices is part of an unprecedented progressive media campaign.
    By Don Hazen
    Wal-Mart has taken advantage of the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina to try to distract the public from the myriad controversies that have plagued it recently. The extent of Wal-Mart’s sins includes lawsuits about discrimination, union busting, worker anger over backlogs of unpaid overtime, and health care and compensation policies that send many (…)

  • Hollywood Studios must walk the Plank

    The top 6 studios in Hollywood have received a green light from the US Govt. to engage in mob style tactics.
    Engaging in the outright theft of scripts and pitched movies by up and coming artists.
    Then making movies from those ideas without compensating the original artists.
    Then sending the federal agencies after anyone who they deem guilty of lifting $4.00 worth of video/music off the internet of these already pirated works.
    Then determining their own booty to be collected.
    As (…)

    "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." — Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels, Propaganda Minister of Nazi Germany.

  • DVD Review: This Divided State (trailer)
    30 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    We didn’t think a documentary about a pre-2004 election appearance by Michael Moore at a state college in Utah would be so riveting and provocative, but boy were we wrong. This is a film that reveals an American passion play by using a real event to symbolize the two major warring factions in the United States today.
    Basically, three young Utah filmmakers were on hand as a furious debate was unleashed in a conservative Utah town, home to Utah Valley State College, when Moore was invited to (…)

    by Judy Hodgkiss
    Producer/director Ron Howard is now bringing to the screen, Dan Brown’s best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code. With 25 million copies in print, internationally, the book has been breaking all records for adult fiction, even though the only version available is a hardback, selling for $24.95 a copy. And there are no plans for Doubleday to bring out a paperback version any time soon, since sales are only expected to climb, as the publicity for the movie kicks in.

  • "Oliver Twist"
    24 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Roman Polanski’s astonishing film exquisitely captures both the anger and the cruel beauty of Dickens’ great novel.
    By Stephanie Zacharek
    Sometimes you look at a movie adaptation of a classic book and it’s as if you’re reading it with the filmmaker, turning the pages together. Roman Polanski’s "Oliver Twist" takes the useless question of whether reading is "better" than moviegoing and renders it academic: This is that rare movie version of a great novel in which watching is reading. (…)
