"Disclaimer: This movie holds some frightening truths that we all should be concerned about. While watching this film I realized that the construction of the story I was being told was designed to manipulate me. Conjure up an emotional response, knee jerk reaction, to what was seemingly a hopeless situation in which multinational corporations were taking over the globe unbeknownst to all. Is there truth to this claim? Probably. Who's fault is it? According to Mark Achbar, the greedy corporations are. However, here in lies the problem. While the film goes on to 'expose' stores like GAP for employing sweat shop labor, evangelize on behalf the Niger Delta 'opposition' groups for fighting foreign oil extractors like Shell from plundering their natural resources (never mind that these 'opposition groups are murderous rebels and kidnappers... in essence they are a political party) , and having Micheal Moore throw in more than his two cents... I sat and watched the group of people ... " [More]

"wooo hoooo [quote user="magrebi"] I almost forgot- to cast you cannot use anyone from the LOTR films. And you don't have to cast everyone, you can do one person at a time. Bilbo -- Ozzie Osbourne just for starters [/quote] " [More]

"I wish I could remember the names of the guys that make up Acrassicauda, given that I'm somewhat horrible with names I'm not even going to try. Eddy Moretti (got that name right) the director, sets out to make a documentary about a metal group in Baghdad, and in doing so he does a great job of showing the viewer the passion that these men have to play their music to the backdrop of complete chaos and devastating violence. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Metal music in a war zone? Fitting. To some degree these guys are more legit than Slipknot or Slayer (yes, I said it). Not that you need an excuse to play your music, but after watching this film it almost make me feel guilty for making excuses for my "hard" or "complicated" life and it makes me wonder about the legitimacy of Slipknot screaming about some girl or satan or whatever they sing about these days. I really liked this film because the unique story Moretti tells, but what really drew me in was that it put a f ... " [More]
