Movie Reviews

Here are some movies you can mention to your friends, depending on how political they are. I've seen them and they all have progressive content:

The Day After Tomorrow -- Global warming melts freshwater ice into the North Atlantic, stopping ocean currents and triggering a superstorm and a new ice age. While even the lead character climatologist in the movie doesn't think it could happen that fast, it still makes for a great disaster movie.

Saved! -- Teenagers at a Christian high school deal with social issues. When the lead character finds out her boyfriend is gay, she tries to make him straight and accidentally gets pregnant. The movie doesn't preach to anybody, and I think it does a good job of showing all viewpoints, regardless of religion.

The Control Room -- This documentary gives us a sampling of what 40 million Arabs see on the Al Jazeera TV network. It shows how we killed one of their reporters, and how the statue-toppling celebration was staged. It shows the violence of the war, an unsanitized version.
