Pros: enjoyed the cast; parody of GW Cons: too much going on; undeveloped characters; ending
Corporate greed. Political satire (namely the current Bush administration). Media criticism. The Michael Moore documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, addresses these issues as does John Sayles 2004 movie, Silver City, but the former was playschool ...
Pros: many excellent performances, Wexler's cinematography (especially lakeside) Cons: editing/pacing, the impossibility of exaggerating the malfeasance of Karl Rove and Bush backers
What stimulated me to catch up with one of the John Sayles movies I'd missed, the 2004 "Silver City," is that it was shot by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler. In his son Mark's resentful documentary, "T

Pros: cared about Danny (almost against my will) Cons: boring, goes off in different directions but never really explores any of them, badly acted
