I haven't reviewed anything a while so it was kind of hard to pick a topic. I thought about reviewing the Krispy Kreme that open down the road. That's probably what I've enjoyed most this summer. But, no. That'd be stupid. Not that has ever stopped anything from being put on this website before.

How about a review of some of the movies that have come out so far this summer? The movie season got off to a strong start with such selections as Shrek 2, The Day After Tomorrow, and the new Potter flick. But now we've come to such fine releases as Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle and the crapfest that is Catwomen. But there are still some choices at the local megaplex. Over the next couple of weeks I'll try to bring you my thoughts on some of them. Starting this week with...

Farenheit 9/11
Before you on the right start getting all steamed up that I'm going to give this film a positive review, please note I'm reviewing how this as a film and has nothing to do with Bush being a total douchebag. (Please send all hate mail here.)

There's not much I could say about this film that hasn't already been said. The weeks surrounding it's release saw every news station covering the film, most of the time taking cheap jabs at Michael Moore's robust figure. So what's else can I possibly add that wasn't said within the mediafest that occurred?

The film is dishonest, slurs facts, is propaganda, ect. At least that's what you may have heard. First off, the facts in the movie all seem to check out. Are they misrepresented. Only if you choose to take it that way.

One of the most important things here is not what Moore is trying to prove with these facts but why isn't anyone else. Why are all the major news organizations not bothering to ask why we're not doing more to catch Bin Laden. What was the reason we went to Iraq. Why do we have to rely on Michael Moore to ask these questions.

The movie is powerful. Right after the beginning titles we are taken back to September 11th 2004 at the World Trade Center. Showing just people's reactions to the buildings being attacked and falling has quite an effect of successfully recreating the emotions many of us felt on that morning staring at out TVs in disbelief. Starting off with such emotion really helps everything else Michael Moore has to say about the president seem all that more appalling.

Moore manages to keep bringing back these imageries throughout the movie to bring us back these emotions to successfully make everything he says more potent. Whether it be the mother of a dead soldier reading his last letter home and alter break down crying in front of the whitehouse or video of Iraqi civilians who got in the way of the bombs.

There's no doubt why republicans are getting nervous about the impact the film is having. The movie is so well made that even a third of republicans believe that it portrayed Bush fairly. The impact it'll have on the election is still likely going to be minimal. Even now reaching a 100 million dollars still isn't all that large of a number to really do that much damage, even if every person who saw decided to vote for Kerry. Actually Kerry's name is never mentioned once in this film. That, and the fact that Michael Moore supported Wes Clark to be president, allows me to believe that Moore isn't really a Kerry fan. But I'm sure he'll still be voting for him over Mr. Bush.
