Saturday night I happened upon a documentary that I’d been meaning to see. The film is called MANUFACTURING DISSENT, and is a Canadian documentarian’s look at how over the years Michael Moore has skewed the facts in his films to present his own agenda. I finished the film very disappointed. Let it be known that…
Swallowed
MORE poster-y goodness for you fine folks today with the release of sweet bit of graphic design. this one’s for the upcoming Sam Rockwell movie CHOKE, based on the cult novel by author Chuck Palahniuk.

In Too Deep
I know someone who likes to refer to the latter two-thirds of The Matrix Trilogy as nothing more than the Wachowski Brothers presenting two hours worth of their best “alone time” with their laptops. While I’ll openly admit that MATRIX RELOADED and MATRIX REVOLUTIONS are both pale follow-ups to the ground-breaking original, I wouldn’t go…
