Day Thirteen - I think?

FOOD, INC.

Trailer:



Mood Before movie: Medium rare.

Ass-o-meter: Dandy.

Comments:
A few years ago I discovered the horrors of the industrialised food making process with a film called “Our Daily Bread”, where different parts of the food making process were shown with no commentary at all. This film had quite a profound effect on me, and the way that I ate. So I was ready for what Food Inc had to plate up for me.

Food Inc is a nicely constructed documentary that tells the story, yet again, of the under regulated free market finding ways make make money with a blatant disregard for common sense or decency at the expense of animals, humans, and the planet. Some of the facts and statistics in this documentary are really staggering, and should really be mandatory viewing.
Check this movie out, it's very good.

Rating: 4/5

BLUE BEARD

Mood Before movie: Feel like a burger.

Ass-o-meter: This movie broke the ass-o-metre.

Comments:
This movie was intensely boring, it's construction and delivery were all total pants. I hated it. Apparently hidden amongst the boredom there was some kind of metaphor that the film maker attempted to be conveyed, however, I don't feel like that is any excuse to make such a pile of shite. Oh lord, make it stop, make it stop. Boooooooooooooooo. My work here is done.

Rating: 0.5/5


IN THE LOOP

Trailer:


Mood Before movie: Terrible, thanks Blue Beard.

Ass-o-meter: Gold.

Comments:
In the Loop is a satirical view of the political machinations within Downing St and the Whitehouse leading up to the decision to go to an unnamed war (ie. A fictionalised war like the Iraq war). The film focuses on some of the key players for and against the war as they do everything in their power to try and make and un-make the burgeoning inevitably uninevitable mountain of conflict (look at me referencing a movie you haven't seen, how clever).

This movie is like and episode of The Hollowmen on awesome pills. Not only is this movie hilariously funny but it also has a densly spun political web which should keep any audience entertained. The film also contains some of the most hilarious taunting in it that i've ever seen, and is worth seeing alone just for that.

This was thoroughly enjoyable. Everyone should see it.

Rating: 4.5/5
