"Oprah Winfrey can certainly create a best seller when it comes to books, and her pick of the presidential candidates is on his way to the White House. But can she get behind a movie and contribute to its success? 20th Century Fox seems to hope so, because the studio apparently allowed the talk show host to screen an unfinished cut of Australia in preparation for her November 10 show, which featured the film’s stars, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, as well as a live-via-Skype call-in from filmmaker Baz Luhrman. Fortunately for Fox, Oprah raved about the film, and now the media has latched on to the endorsement, creating some much-needed positive buzz for the Oscar-hopeful. Yet there’s a big problem with all the excitement: Oprah’s film recommendations have hardly been sure-fire champs in the past. Case in point: the first title I came upon while searching for Oprah-select cinema was something called

"Paul Krik’s low-budget indie thriller Able Danger is nicely shot in tinted b&w hi-def video, slickly mixed, scored and edited almost to the point of being indistinguishable from this or that Bruckheimer TV show. And Krik is a keen film student: Many of the film’s images recall Welles, Lang, Fuller, Mann, Kubrick, Frankenheimer– you name it. Hipster-geek lead Adam Nee, as a conspiracy theory blogger convinced that 9/11 was an inside job, shows subtle, offbeat charm. Young film majors curious about how to pull off a polished look on a shoestring may want to check it out. Krik gets a lot of mileage out of color correction software, real Brooklyn locations and one beat-up mountain bike. Most memorably Krik also shows an eye for cute European and American hipster chicks in dark femme fatale dresses, retro skirts and, most memorably, panties. Along with the general flippant air and egghead referentiality, the way Krik’s ca "

"Yes, I know that I am the last person in the known galaxy to see this movie. I put off seeing it for a bunch of reasons, one of which was that Moore's comments about how that it could turn the eleciton seemed obnoxious and pretencious. It had no apparerent effect and seen just one and half years after it was made it seems dated. Any review of a film like this is going to be biased by the veiwer's political beliefs. Let me say now that I voted for Kerry, am a loyal partison Democrat and think that Bush is the second worst President in our nation's history, right behind James Buchanan. I cannot wait for my birthday on 2009 when someone else will be President. Even if it's another Republican, I can't imagine one worse then George W. That said, onto the film. I agree with Moore's statement that the administration blew nearly every aspect of the Iraq war. They mislead the public about the danger and had no plan to reconstruct Iraq. I have no idea what the motive really was beh ... "

"Release Year: 2004Director: Michael Moore*****Michael Moore's 2004 Oscar winning documentary, ostensibly about the links between the Bush family and the bin Landen's, is something people on both sides of the aisle should see. The information Moore brings to the surface was barely reported on by any mainstream news outlet. (For instance, the US government was in bed with the Taliban for two decades before September 11...and the government arranged the travel needs of bin Laden family member on 9/11 to Saudi Arabia.)What holds this film from being a true work of genius is Moore's insatiable need to pick, prod and beat the president up at every opportunity. Any documentary filmmaker knows that, in order to be taken seriously, you must be impartial. Examine the issue from all sides, don't let your personal politics come through. Even and balanced. Fair. From the very instant Fahrenheit 9/11 begins with a quick history lesson on the presidential elections of 2000, it's obvious th ... "

"Blogs are buzzing, but the fact that Michael Moore is making a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 is old news –– the film is referenced in this NY Times story from April of last year. The new news in this story from Variety’s Cannes section is that the film will be distributed internationally by Overture and Paramount Vantage––NOT The Weinstein Company, which handled the relatively disappointing release of Sicko. The same companies will rep the doc for international sale at Cannes. The Playlist has details on Miranda July’s in-the-works second feature, Things We Don’t Understand and Definitely Are Not Going To Talk About. The title of this post at Tisch Film Review is worded a bit confusingly "

"Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden is the latest autobiographical odyssey by Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock. The film has a wry, snarky tone, so while Spurlock actually does tour the Middle East poking around for the world’s most wanted terrorist, the mission is understood to be secondary to the wider political comments the film attempts to make. If the mission to find Bin Laden is tongue-in-cheek, then what is the point of the very real dangers Spurlock subjects himself to? Comparisons to Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 are well deserved. Both rely heavily on darkly comic animated history lessons about the underbelly of American foreign policy. These segments are very entertaining, but also frustratingly simple. While it could be argued that Spurlock is intentionally over-simplifying complex histories in order to spoof the mainstream media’s penchant for cartoonish dichotomies, the animated segments instead prop up wid "

"Getting an audience to listen to a message that is critical of the Iraq War is not hard. Political venues, water coolers, and street corners are full of disgust for the Bush Administration and countless citizens worldwide have Inauguration Day 2009 circled on their calendars. The difficult task is presenting a balanced and informed yet still passionate cross-examination of this red-hot topic. In a volatile, confusing time, Charles Ferguson’s new documentary No End In Sight is well aware of this challenge and ambitiously attacks this decade’s defining dividing point with the necessary goods.In order to present the argument at hand, one must go back to the beginning to see where things went awry. Ferguson hinges his argument on four major points: the decision not to instill Martial Law after the fall of Baghdad; Paul Bremer’s subsequent decision to disassemble the Iraqi military; the poor planning of the amount of American troops needed to contain possible insur ...
