Taxi to the Dark Side. Scary documentary about the torture techniques employed at Abu Graib, Bagram and Guantanamo, and the involvement of senior political figures in setting the policies. It focuses particularly on the story of an Afghan taxi driver who was killed at Bagram.

 

The documentary felt a bit disjointed and all over the place, but its definitely worth watching.

 

It's a very good primer on the whole thing and what can so easily happen to almost anybody in the wrong place at th wrong time.

Trouble the Water:

 

Trouble the Water opens the day the filmmakers meet twenty-four year old aspiring rap artist and drug dealer Kimberly Rivers Roberts and her husband Scott at a Red Cross shelter in central Louisiana, then flashes back two weeks, with Kimberly turning her new video camera on herself and her neighbors trapped in their Ninth Ward attic as the storm rages, the levees fail and the flood waters rise.

 

Weaving 15 minutes of Roberts ground zero footage shot the day before and the morning of the storm, with archival news segments, other home video, and verité footage they filmed over two years, director/producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal document the journey of a young couple living on the margins who survive the storm and seize a chance for a new beginning.

 

Trouble the Water explores issues of race, class, and the relationship of government to its citizens, issues that continue to haunt America, years after the levees failed in New Orleans.

 

Good stuff.

Predators: brainless, pop-corn eating flick. Fun nonetheless.

 

Predators are just cool really, extraterrestrial Jamaicans hopping on hi-tech boat & going fishing - i liked the subtle differences in the Predators' respective helmets.

 

3 out of 5.

The Magdalene Sisters (2002) - 8/10

 

Horrific portrayal of an Irish institution in 1964, distressing but highly reccomended.

 

You may never look at a nun the same way again.

Goal 3 is on the telly atm and the scene with Ashley has just been on. Fucking hell what a twat. Stiff as a board in the background and wearing a toon top. Who wears a club shirt to the World Cup?!??

Good to see they kept it real with England losing on penalties!

I thought 3 was originally meant to be about Santiago taking Mexico to win the world cup?

Goal 3 is easily the worst film I have ever seen.
