“Fahrenheit 9/11″ Movie Review
“Fahrenheit 911″ Plot Summary
Michael Moore’s view on what happened to the United States after September 11; and how the Bush Administration allegedly used the tragic event to push forward its agenda for unjust wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. add synopsis
Not Eggs-actly Accurate
Michael Moore has done it again assembled a disembodied collection of sound bites, disjointed and almost always out-of-context film footage, Corporation bashing, cynical one-liners, tearful testimony of doubtlessly hurt family members threaded into the narrative, vague coincidence, rambling discourses by carefully chosen downtrodden `common folk’ and any clip in which an important figure is seen as a pompous no-nothing. In `Fahrenheit 911′ we have the added treat of listening to the testimony of a handful of reluctant non-com warriors and the stern admonition that our soldiers are willing to go in harm’s way, but only if we REALLY need them to do so
In a bit of a surprise move the film opens with a shotgun of facts aimed at building the case that President Bush is President only because a small group of vaguely interconnected power brokers (not) somehow colluded to make him so a wild stretch right out of the box. Mr. Moore could surely turn this segment into a documentary in its own right. Unfortunately this is a sour grapes kick off for a documentary, and we in the audience sensed this. Also early on we see protests (after we’ve been made to feel bad about voting George Bush into office in the first place) along the parade route on Inauguration Day and much is made of the point that in a time of celebration the nation is already sundered. Mention is made that even eggs were thrown. We are stunned (well, maybe not stunned) as a solitary egg is discerned striking a car. Generally Presidential-grade vehicles are up to such punishment. As metaphor, this film could not be more appropriately compared to anything but this lamely impactful footage documenting an egg plopping onto the pavement after striking the auto
There are a plethora of quotes floating on the Internet which indicate threats of terrorism against the U.S. were perceived many years ago. bin Laden’s propensity to initiating violent anti-American activities was known and even prominent figures in government long before G.W. Bush became President testified as to the likelihood of weapons of mass destruction being likely found in Iraq. But we are a nation famed for second-guessing nearly any headline; I am sure there is a JFK re-visit being written at this very moment. The visit to Flint, Michigan to work the angle of the poor being the sole source of our military personnel was noticeably patched in, almost as an aside. If one is building a case that rich power brokers arrange wars, why even worry about the source of troops? That never seems to come up in academic studies of how and why a war begins. It is very refreshing to see large crowds in attendance at the local plex to view a film the subject of which is normally strictly art-house fare. In this sense the movie is exciting; certainly any documentary that gets Americans talking about politics is a good thing. It will be interesting to see counter-reactions (not News-At-Eleven clips of Hollywood actors smugly winking at us) to the fanfare accorded this movie’s release
So you need go only as far as this medium to find as many counter-arguments to any that Moore presents. Ho-hum. Until `Fahrenheit 911′ came along `Super Size Me’ was a shoe-in as the Best Documentary of the year. Now it may be a horse race to see which wins the Oscar, but the Academy members have surely punched their vote cards already, if not only figuratively
Rating: Three Stars

“Friday the 13th” Movie Review
“Friday the 13th” Plot Summary
Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to re-open a summer camp that was the site of a child’s drowning.
The film that started it all
Friday the 13th, as we all know, it’s the film that started it all when it came to one of the most memorable boogeymen, Jason Vorhees. I’m afraid though that this isn’t the film that he stars in, it’s actually his mother that started the whole ‘have sex and die’ sacred rule of horror movies. Friday the 13th has kind of a harsh rating here on IMDb, this is a classic in some sense I think, it’s the ultimate sleepover movie and still gives me a little scare when I watch it in the dark. Friday the 13th also started the cheesy acting, un-needed sex scenes, blood, and gore; wither that’s a good or bad thing, I’m still not sure, but one thing that Friday the 13th does deliver is awesome death scenes that will never disappoint. It’ll also make you think twice about going to camp
A group of young adults are opening up Camp Crystal Lake after 20 years, the place has been dubbed as a cursed camp where two young counselors were brutally murdered and a young boy drowned. But the group continues getting the camp ready, but when a nasty storm ensues, the group separates and does their own thing. But one by one, they keep disappearing, but when Alice, one of the camp counselors is concerned with how everyone is not returning, she goes to find a nasty discovery and will have to survive the most terrifying night of her life
Friday the 13th is a memorable film in it’s own right, I know that the performances are horrible, I mean, this is no Halloween, but it’s a different concept and scared a lot of people. I remember it scared me as a kid to go to camp, that’s for sure. But it has tense music and very scary scenes and it keeps the best going, along with a huge amount of sequels to come, we’re up to 20, right? LOL, just kidding, it’s only 10 that I’m aware of, but I would recommend Friday the 13th for the horror fans, it’s always a fun movie to watch.7/10
