Some things I’ve seen since the last update, complete with micro reviews to make your life easier at the video store:

1. Everything is Illuminated: deft, paced, and resonant.
2. The Answer Man: whatever.
3. The Great Buck Howard: competent.
4. The Gamers: Dorkness Rising: terrible production but f-ing hilario-awesome . . . if you are or have been a table-top gamer.
5. Slaugherhouse 5: brilliant, if you’ve read the book or just love Vonnegut.
6. Amreeka: competent. Heart-breaking.
7. Beer Wars: fascinating content, bad delivery.

This article about Big Ag v. Small Ag appeals to my apocalyptic, down-with-the-huge sensibilities. Thus begins a new tag: “resistance.”

Via Fair Food Fight (a favorite go-to blog of mine for all my food-fighting news): “Who’s Afraid of the Family Farmer?”.
