Dana Stevens has a critique of the controversial Death of a President movie. For all the hype, there doesn’t seem to be any social commentary or satirical bite in the flick. It delivers nothing more than a hypothetical of Bush’s assassination. Nearly every talking head who hadn’t seen the film accused it of pandering to the fantasies of extremists. Stevens actually contends that the film is quite tame and slightly right of center, calling it the “Joe Lieberman of fake documentaries”.

For a year of continuous duds at the theatres Finally a movie that pricks my precepts and kept me glued to my seat. It was a wonderful work of film and well worth a second look, and soon cause the box office take tells me its ready for the chopping block soon. pity real art form gets tossed aside so easy. Death of a President, My favorite movie this year thus far. No I don’t hate Bush, How can you hate someone who’s so helplessly and criminally stupid? reasons for going to war in Iraq, Well we all know that was fictional lies, should win an oscar for all of us that were duped. The movie compared so much to me like my last favorite movie Crash. How we are so quick to judge those we don’t understand. How narrow minded we are with our pathetic paranoia of each others skin, race religion. Never trusting, always on guard for that dreadful reason we’ve adopted since 9/11. Fear! fear rules and cashes in for those who make the big bucks. Too bad this movie could not scare more folks into the theatre. Perhaps it will sell its share of dvds in the fall of 2007. But then again , lets hope not.
