"So is Ralph Nader really an unreasonable man? Few prominent Americans have gone from respect to the gutter as fast as the famed consumer advocate without a major crime or sex scandal. A liberal hero throughout most of his adult life, in November 2000 he became one of the most hated of all public figures by Democrats when his Green Party presidential campaign cost Al Gore the election. It is hard to overestimate just how much Democrats despise Nader, even though most admit that they support many of his policy positions. One of my fellow liberals told me unironically that she hopes he "burns in hell". One of the benefits of this documentary is that it is not a standard rise and fall of an American icon, nor a cloying piece of agitprop. Most of the first hour is spent on Nader's achievements in the 60's and 70's, and if the film praises them, well, they deserve to be praised. After a former classmate was paralyzed by a car accident, Nader began to small grassroots cam ... "

"It was interesting. I did not know much about him, but as many documentaries go, it's almost impossible to see the truth. "

"I’ve always found the idea that Ralph Nader cost the Democrats the white house in 2000 to be especially repugnant and naïve. If the Democratic Party couldn’t muster a solid win against George W Bush it can only blame itself. At the risk of beginning a long and troubled rant on modern politics I’ll turn my attention to the film that endeavors to shed light on one of the most influential Americans of the last half century. From his work as a pioneering consumer advocate for automobile safety to his push for a political reawakening, An Unreasonable Man uses stock footage, new interviews, and classic Nader quips to create a compelling and informative documentary akin to Errol Morris’ The Fog of War. The film tries very hard to follow the structure of Morris’ best work, but it throws so many talking heads at you that it soon begins to blur. The overly dramatic music doesn’t help either. At times the music dominates interviews and overwhelms some ... "

"By Tricia Olszewski A flaming skull that talks isn’t quite as ridiculous as it sounds. At least you won’t think so watching Ghost Rider, as long as you keep a few things in mind. First, it’s about a fire-friendly crusader who fights evil on his motorcycle. Second, it was written and directed by Mark Steven Johnson, the filmmaker responsible for the much-maligned Daredevil. Lastly, Oscar bait—or even People’s Choice bait—tends not to come out in February. Nicolas Cage plays Johnny Blaze, a stunt cyclist who becomes “the devil’s bounty hunter” years after selling his soul to Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) in exchange for the health of his cancer-ridden father. When the deal goes sour, a disconsolate Johnny (Blaze the Younger is played by Matt Long) bails on a plan to run away with his girlfriend, Roxanne (Raquel Alessi). From then on he’s determined to live as an eccentric loner devoted only to performing increasingly danger ... "
