Fahrenheit 9/11 is a bold, brazen attempt by Michael Moore to bring down the George W. Bush presidency, and it just might succeed. Much of the movie's damning evidence against Bush is circumstantial. Some of it is exaggerated or taken out of context. But Fahrenheit 9/11 presents so much compelling evidence with so much emotion and passion that it could be the most effective political tool to ever come out of Hollywood. In addition to being a skillfully crafted documentary that should be the odds-on favorite to put another Oscar on Moore's mantle, Fahrenheit 9/11 should be a future case study in movie marketing. Moore successfully hyped a minor controversy with Disney into a big deal, then let the right wing blunder their way into making it into an even bigger deal. In the process of trying to prevent people from seeing the movie, the right wing fuss is only raising the curiosity level. If Bush is indeed defeated for re-election by a small margin, he might have good reason to blame this movie and the man behind it.

Matrix Revolutions is a disappointing way to end what could have been a great trilogy. No one expected the 2nd and 3rd films to live up to The Matrix's mind-bending coolness. At least Reloaded maintained much of the original spirit, had some memorable scenes such as the highway chase and the army of agents battle. Not so with Revolutions, which is riddled with pseudo-profound dialogue and several stretches of dullness. The battle scenes are as much headache-inducing as entertaining. I'll be generous and give this a 5/10.

Two hours, Richard Gere and a half dozen of Hollywood's most beautiful and talented actresses, and they come up with THIS garbage? This has got to be one of the biggest wastes of talent in the last 10 years. The live birth scene at the end was the topper on this travesty of a film.
