What movie should I see this weekend

[supernova]

I'm really waiting for Johnny Depp's new movie, The Libertine. But Miramax has delayed it, again until next Friday, so I hear.


Until then I can go see

1. Good Night and Good Luck was great

When McCarthy finally got called to the mat with the "Have you no sense of decency" line I almost stood and cheered!

2. Quote from Steve Gaghan interview

"When I was researching Traffic, the Pentagon’s Counter Terrorism and Counter Narcotics department was the same department. And now we’re expanding like crazy, expanding our nation’s ability to “take people out.” We’ve got new organizations dedicated to whacking our enemies—the Grey Foxes, for instance. And we’re torturing people in dank, secret prisons, the CIA actually taking over the Soviet Gulags that Solzhenitsyn made famous. And we’re using remote control drones to drop missiles on people’s heads in distant lands. And we’re going into Afghanistan and then Iraq, and I’m in the backseat of this car called America and I’m holding on as we make a very sharp turn, and the driver is waving his fist out the window, yelling, “Bring it on, motherfuckers! Throw down Muslim World, whattaya got? This ain’t no roadtrip here, we’re on a crusade!” ... I can’t think of anything more important than war, or anything that matters more than putting it on trial. War should be on trial pretty much all the time. And if cinema can help… well, clap, clap, clap."

3. Syrianna is the only one of those I've seen

and I wasn't too thrilled about it. It's got some good facts, but it seemed more propaganda than plot line. At the end, it attempts to tie the 3+ story lines together, but does a poor job. I could tell they wanted to make a movie with facts in it, but they would have been better off just making it a documentery IMO, instead of trying to put a plot line in it.
