Green Zone
Short/Tweet Version? Green Zone: Jason Bourne forgets where he works, reports for duty at the US Army in Iraq.

Green Zone is the most fun Ive had at the movies in some time. No one does pulse-pounding non-stop, edge-of-seat action quite like Paul Greengrass (same director that brought us two of the Bourne films). The film is shot in his trademark “documentary camera” style and it fits here perfectly. The plot of the film is bigger than the actual action on screen. It dramatizes how US duped the world into believing Iraq had WMD, which it clearly didnt, even I knew that it didnt. But the US needed this made up “fact” to sell the world into this war. It also portrays how Bush idiocy and arrogance led to the Iraq insurgency. The Green Zone is the best war movie since The Hurt Locker, yet both movies could not be more different. I’ll be watching this movie again, its that good.
Alice in Wonderland [3D]
Confession: Growing up, I had never read the infamous “Alice in Wonderland” story. Yet, the Alice in Wonderland story is so engraved into modern pop culture that I felt I knew the story anyways, without actually having read the story. Maybe thats why I loved this movie, while mostly everyone I know thats seen it hated it. It was all new to me. And what better way to watch this Tim Burton and Johnny Depp tour-de-force than in a huge IMAX 3D? Solid visuals, solid performances by all, solid story.

    I loved the original Predator, but hated all the other Alien vs Predator crap. Now Predator franchise is back with its next installment with all-new kick ass creatures. Here’s a 2-min preview. Sick!

    Frank Rich on how the Bush-Cheney machine is trying to rewrite history - they are even going so far as to make the world believe that the 9/11 attacks didnt happen on Bush’s watch. Its so absurd that it might actually work and people will start believing it, as a lot of people in middle America that vote for these morons are clueless and idiots.

    I couldnt more happy about the recent diplomatic clash between the Obama administration and Israel. Maybe now the US will finally see the Terrorist State of Israel for what it truly is: a dark piece of garbage on the face of this planet that is the reason for all the wars and evil in this world. They are two-timing, backstabbing bastards and have been screwing the US for years.

    This might be the last of the epic music videos that were so famous back in the 80’s or early 90’s: Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s Telephone. Pretty neat (if not weird) production. Beyonce, as usual, looking smokin’! And check out all the product placements, sheesh.

    “We accept that Ms Margolis is not and never has been “a hooker” or otherwise involved in the sex industry.” A funny correction by the Independent news paper.

    Interactive map of New York City’s best coffee houses. Cafe Grumpy is my favorite, as they have the $20,000 Clover coffee machine. Yes, it costs $20,000. Coffee is the new Wine.

    Gary Lauder explains why the US needs better traffic controls. Answer is model it after Europe, where roundabouts are more common. Really awesome how he breaks it down into numbers and $ saved.
