    Zombieland

    The zombie within

    "A needy, hollow-eyed, sharp-looking wretch,

    A living-dead man." Comedy of Errors, Shakespeare


    Not since Shaun of the Dead have I enjoyed a zombie comedy film as much as Zombieland. Director Ruben Fleischer and his mostly TV crew have fashioned a classic that can be enjoyed for its gore as well as its glee. It does help to have a gun-totin,' wisecrackin' Woody Harrelson as your featured Zombie killer.

    Capitalism: A Love Story

    No Surprises

    "I refuse to live in a country like this, and I'm not leaving." Michael Moore


    Not even Barack Obama can make the case for the working people better than Michael Moore. When it comes to how the middle class has suffered in the current recession, and the wealthy have prospered, Moore is unparalleled in driving home the thesis that short of a voter revolt, the rich class may win the war.

    A growing-up god
