"Oliver Stone has long been synonymous with political passion projects, but his latest film, W., may be his most ambitious effort yet, if only because of how quickly the thing came together and got made. Now the serio-comic biopic about our sitting president is about to hit theaters, less than ten months after anyone had heard of its inception, and it’s getting a number of favorable reviews, will possibly rule the box office this weekend, and could even garner an Oscar nomination for Josh Brolin, who portrays the man with the titular initial, George W. Bush. But not all political passion projects are quite as successful as W. is expected to be. Some such films have been banned, while some have simply failed to acquire an audience on more democratic grounds, whether in terms of box office, critical or awards recognition. Yet regardless of the reception of a political passion project, either at the time of release (or intended release) or decades later, it may be regarded as an achiev ... "

"Those with Netflix will know instantly to what I am referring here. Ever log on to Netflix and check out your Recommendations page? I normally don't. I try to use a more intuitive and organic approach to discovering films, and enjoy making it more of a "found item" journey than one in which one corporation tries to force-feed me the goods of another corporation. But every once in a while, I like to check the Recommendations page out, mainly because its a quick and simple way to add more ratings to Netflix (which I am, now that I think of it, unsure of why I even do that since, ultimately, the only real reason to do that is to get things recommended to you -- which I don't like...)Most of the time Netflix makes some sort of sense with their recommendations. Take, for instance, the fact they are recommending Madea's Family Reunion to me because I highly rated both Malcolm X and The Color Purple. Recommending Futurama Season 3 to me because I loved The Simpsons Movie,

"I preface this review by saying that my criticism is of the movie (art) made by renowned filmmaker Spike Lee and is in no way meant to undermine the importance of Malcolm X as a person or important historical figure. Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed “masterpiece” chronicles the life of Malcolm X by closely following the text that Malcolm X himself dictated in The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which I have read. Spike Lee, a prominent voice for black people in American cinema, again shows the oppression that his race has undergone with movie Malcolm X (see Do the Right Thing, Bamboozled, etc.). No one should undermine the importance of Malcolm X and his contributions to equality. The philosophies that Malcolm X expresses may be inflammatory, controversial, profound, just, moral, name it for yourself, but they should not be overlooked. My criticism of the movie lies not in its message but in the averageness of the portrayal of an importance his ... "
