Sicko
The latest Michael Moore installment does not disappoint. The average American has a lot to learn from this movie. The health care in our country is appalling and the insurance companies are fully to blame by my measure of it all.
As I am married to a British citizen I already knew much of what was portrayed in this well laid out film. However there is a lot to be said about the other countries that I was at least partially unaware of. I like to think a fair amount of U.S. citizens know just how bad our health care system has become but when compared to country’s that you just out right expect to have a lesser system in place such as Cuba only to find they are a few levels ABOVE us?!? There was something *I* personally learned. Read more
Michael Clayton
I was in the mood to see if Hollywood was still putting out something interesting as far as law thrillers went. To my surprise, they didn’t do too bad keeping things fresh. This movie stars George Clooney (I don’t think I have to tell you any of his previous movies), Tilda Swinton (Chronicles of Narnia), and Tom Wilkinson (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Clayton (Clooney) plays a fixer; a person who understands the law and in a clinch can bring on the perfect lawyer for any case for his firms clientele.
Unfortunately for him his personal life needs fixing as well. To make matters worse, one of his firms long lasting cases just suffered from one of the attorneys (Wilkinson) breakdown. Through the course of this movie, Michael is forced to not only try to keep Wilkinson together, but keep defense attorney Karen Crowder (Swinton) from gaining the upper hand, and saving his own personal life from going down in flames.

Everything’s Gone Green
“Everything’s Gone Green” is a 2007 independent Canadian film by Douglas Coupland. I must say that visually, he used his landscape well. The settings of this film were done nicely, however the writing was way off.
Our story starts off with our main character Ryan (Paulo Costanzo, “40 Days and 40 Nights”) who in the span of one day loses his girlfriend, his apartment, his job, and the chance at a lucky lottery ticket. When calling in the ticket he finds out it is the wrong numbers but the right time for his call. He gets a job doing stories for a lottery winner newspaper and it is from here that he meets his new life, there are many choices that he must make that begin to make him question his morals, and the morals of the people around him.
