Theater/ Color/ 101 Mins./ R/ 2008
No religion is safe from the sharp aim--and still sharper wit--of Bill Maher in this comic look at organized belief systems around the world. This controversial documentary is directed by Larry Charles, who previously made both fans and foes with BORAT.

Excellent movie!

Excellent!

The Business of Being Born
Birth: it's a miracle. A rite of passage. A natural part of life. But more than anything, birth is a business. Compelled to find answers after a disappointing birth experience with her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to explore the maternity care system in America. Focusing on New York City, the film reveals that there is much to distrust behind hospital doors and follows several couples who decide to give birth on their own terms. There is an unexpected turn when director Epstein not only discovers she is pregnant, but finds the life of her child on the line. Should most births should be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potential medical emergency?


This documentary was really good! I used to think people who gave birth at home or in a tub with a midwife or doula were weird but now, if I have kids, that's definitely what I'm gonna do.

SKIDOO
DVD/ Color/ 97 Mins./M/ 1968
Ex-gangster Tony Banks is called out of retirement by mob kingpin God to carry out a hit on fellow mobster "Blue Chips" Packard. When Banks demurs, God kidnaps his daughter Darlene on his luxury yacht.

Directed by Otto Priminger (Mr. Freeze).
Starring Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon, Frank Gorshin (The Riddler), Burgess Meredith (The Penguin) Ceasar Romero (The Joker) and Groucho Marx as GOD.

It seems that Grouch Marx did a little research to make his character in this film a little more believable. Interesting read if you have the time.

Once
An (unnamed) Guy is a Dublin guitarist/singer-songwriter who makes a living by fixing vacuum cleaners in his Dad's Hoover repair shop by day, and singing and playing for money on the Dublin streets by night. An (unnamed) Girl is a Czech who plays piano when she gets a chance, and does odd jobs by day and takes care of her mom and her daughter by night. Guy meets Girl, and they get to know each other as the Girl helps the Guy to put together a demo disc that he can take to London in hope of landing a music contract. During the same several day period, the Guy and the Girl work through their past loves, and reveal their budding love for one another, through their songs.


It was all right. I liked it a lot because it was quirky, though. REALLY amazing & touching songs and lyrics which were written solely by the actors. Doesn't end how you'd expect. :)

mrscardero liked this movie but was more impressed with the soundtrack. She went out and got it immediately.

Saw Max Payne last weekend. I thought it was pretty decent and I don't know why it's getting so many bad reviews. Of course it could have something to do with Olga Kurylenko being in the movie (the same chick from Hitman and the upcoming Bond). Everytime I see her walk from behind, I have to bite my fist. :p

In the small town of Peckham, California, many men die for excessive effort during sexual intercourse. When a scientist from the Brandt research laboratory is found dead in a motel, the government sends Agent Neil Agar (William Smith) to investigate the mysterious deaths.
