Miscellaneous Movie Musings

We watched "Bowling for Columbine" last night and I thought it was significantly better than I had been led to believe. He makes very good points about our "culture of fear" that I empatically agree with. At one point he cuts media footage, just little sound bites, but it's all about the terror watch, and crime, and the "epidemic sweeping the Southland" stuff, with a voiceover about how they don't even need to tell you why you should be afraid... just to be afraid... and then it cuts to a speech by GW Bush.

I liked it more than I thought I would.

We also saw "The Good Shepherd" and I liked it too.
