<title>Review of W</title>

<![CDATA[<p>&amp;nbsp;Today, I unexpectedly had a chance to catch a movie at the cinema. From the choices of Body of Lies, Madgascar, or High School Musical 3, my companions decided on W. Walking into the premise, I honestly had no idea of what kind of movie I would be seeing. My buddy told me it would be funny, and my other friend stubbornly told me it was most definitely <strong>NOT </strong>funny.</p>
<p>After seeing it, I would say that it is mildly funny, but it is a fairly accurate picture of what most Americans think of the Bush, Jr., Presidency. With that said, flashing pictures of 9/11 and the many government legislations that have tore the rights out of the Bill of Rights come to mind. However, this film also shows the hardships that our beloved president George Bush had to face. Personally, I am very open-minded, and before I've seen this movie I have always thought that there is always a redeemable trait in a person. Mr. Bush here is no exception.</p>
<p>This movie has opened my eyes to the background of our president, and it is quite an interesting story. Alocholic and unable to keep any job, George W. Bush has had problems from the start of his college career. HIs father had to constantly bail him out of rather tough situations that include his drunk driving. Following in the footsteps of his great ex-president father and his brother Jed, Bush had always fallen short to their great standards. This movie shows how Mr. Bush went from zero to being a president; quite a success story. To do this, the movie uses subtitles to switch from Bush's college and post-college life to his presidency days, and it does this effectively. In the beginning of the movie, we see Mr. Bush and his cabinet discussing terrorism as Americans would disappointingly expect. However, by the end of the movie, with knowledge of Bush's hardships and accomplishments, the audience can now look up to him as a hero. He may have made some bad decisions in office, but ultimately he never backed down-honor, something that most Americans seem to lack.</p>
<p>Another great aspect of the movie, the musical score is exemplary at painting the mood for each situation and conflict. From original orchestrated melodies to arrangements of American songs, the musical score has been well-thought and compiled, and the emotions felt from when George W. Bush faces hardships reflect that mentality.</p>
<p>The one thing I did not like is the subtle jokes used in the movie. Not only were they often profane and vulgar, I felt that the movie would have been better off without them. These jokes seem out of place and, for example, one of the jokes makes fun of Colin Powell's choice to not run for president.</p>
<p>Overall, this movie has much going for it. If you haven't gone out to see it, I highly recommend it. Though Bush is not gone yet from&amp;nbsp; the coveted White House, this movie does a great job of encompassing Bush's life.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FComedy%2FReview-of-W.337451"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FComedy%2FReview-of-W.337451" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Film Review: In the Name of the Father</title>
<link>http://www.cinemaroll.com/Drama/Film-Review-In-the-Name-of-the-Father.99152</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>&amp;ldquo;In the Name of the Father&amp;rdquo; deals with the delicate subject of IRA and the British justice system, but doesn't hold back on condemning either. It focuses on what was and still is forgotten in the middle of the chaos-the wellbeing of the ordinary man.</p>
 
<p>The heroic tale of a wrongful court verdict unfortunately cannot be viewed as an individual case-one of the films shortcomings. The film may be based on Gerry Conlon's autobiography, but most ordinary people caught in the middle of this political mess do not prevail as heroes, and neither should they wish for this. Certainly, the epic closing scenes added to the powerful effect the film had, but it is doubtful whether this kind of emotion would prevail in such a depressing situation. But I guess a touch of optimism in the middle of utter hopelessness doesn't hurt, does it?</p>
 
<p>Regrettably, the two main characters had to make up for the overall poor casting, evident during the opening and crowd scenes. Daniel Day-Lewis handled the role of a simple and straightforward man torn out of his everyday life well, and depicted the character's vicissitudes realistically, if unspectacularly.</p>
 
<p>The family problems aided the film to avoid creating even more controversy and to bring the topic closer to the ordinary viewer. We can commiserate with what we know, and more people are familiar with troubled family relations than Ireland's struggles for independence and against terrorism.</p>
 
<p>The film is an eye-opener for sure, a thought-provoking and compelling introduction to a centuries-old problem. What this film doesn't do is leave you indifferent. It creates discussion whether about the film itself and its approach to the topic, or, more likely, about the possibilities of solving the problem. Hopefully this discussion will lead to further actions, but by different means than used in the past and pictured in the film.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FDrama%2FFilm-Review-In-the-Name-of-the-Father.99152"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FDrama%2FFilm-Review-In-the-Name-of-the-Father.99152" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Fahrenheit 9/11        </title>
<link>http://www.cinemaroll.com/Documentary/Fahrenheit-911--------.49311</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Mike Moore may be a lot of things, certainly well fed but we seriously doubt that he can be accused of being a republican (Anyone accusing US of being a member of that slime bucket bunch better have paid up medical insurance.) While for us, 9/11 was not as informative as it was entertaining. 


</p><p>

We already suspected the worst about this bunch in the white house. We knew the connections between the Bush and bin Ladens', wondering, of course, why the mainstream media or even the idiot democrats failed to capitalize on it. The fix is in, ladies, gentlemen and those of you who are sexually confused.</p>
 

 <p>Instead of actually retelling the same sad story, 12 Angry Shemales will distill it into some sort of logical (for us) conclusion.</p>
 



 <p>Saudi Arabia is Al-Quaida. The same people that own OUR oil fields own their oil field companies. They do not own Iraq's'. Well, they do now, but we digress. OK, they attack America so that we can blame the wrong people and take all their stuff.

</p><p>


 We always knew that the ink on the contracts was long dry before the first bombs fell. The trouble with 9/11 is that Mikey knows all this shit too. Why is he being so reserved? We American weirdo's demand more than that from our documentaries. 

</p><p>

Wild flights of paranoid fancy couldn't even begin to scratch the surface of the truth in this matter, so Moores' rather obvious caution abrades. Oliver Stone SHOULD have made this film. It might have been closer to what WE suspect is the truth.</p>
 


 <p>While 9/11 is essential viewing, and entertaining in a real masochistic way, we sit our asses down and look mean, for the most part. Four angry shemales liked it, eight say, "Blow Me, Mikey."</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FDocumentary%2FFahrenheit-911--------.49311"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FDocumentary%2FFahrenheit-911--------.49311" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
