3/5
 
" Positively brims over with sour-grapes hearsay and character assassination. But you just know he deserved it, right?" -- Sacramento News & Review

Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008)92%
/
3/5
 
" Your tap water might be making you sick. But your bottled water might be making you sicker, while also enabling the environmental rape of the American heartland and unconscionable extortion in the Third World." -- Sacramento News & Review
Posted Oct 23, 2008
 
Flow: For Love of Water (2008)78%
/
4/5
 
" The movie compares not to other movies but to life. That's how it gets under the skin and why it's a breakthrough for Hathaway, who so skillfully evokes the paradoxically comforting and dissociating regression of returning to a messy nest." -- Sacramento News & Review
Posted Oct 23, 2008

" Choke, adapted by actor Clark Gregg in his directorial debut, lacks Fincher’s slickly overwrought style but gets Palahniuk’s silly plot turns and pet themes." -- Sacramento News & Review
Posted Oct 2, 2008
 
Choke (2008)55%
/
3/5
 
" Braiding brief snippets of these automatically suspenseful storylines with archival video footage of the actual event, Townsend makes a good point that the thing just got away from all involved." -- Sacramento News & Review

Burn After Reading (2008)79%

" The movie moves swiftly and purposefully enough to briefly distract from its own hackneyed conventionality. But disappointments and doubts can’t be held off for long." -- Sacramento News & Review

" Verdict: Chewy, ripe and rounded almost to the point of flabbiness, it finishes rather cleanly; less satisfying is the fragrant bouquet, which contains notes of corn and all-wet underdog." -- Sacramento News & Review
