• Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?... 4/10

  2008-08-13 20:23

  

  Morgan Spurlock's second major documentary film starring himself is more of a tour around the middle east seeking opinions about Al Queda and the American image. He invests less time actually searching for Bin Laden than he does showing his pregnant wife at home. The movie offers a few interesting Islamic perspectives through interviews, but Spurlock doesn't make a good interviewer and has trouble crafting questions to find many good answers.

• The Children of Huang Shi (2008) 8/10

  This drama was a great biographical film about the journalist George Hogg who saved a group of orphaned children during the Japanese occupation of China in the late 1930's. This film hasn't received enough publicity for what a great story it is, I highly recommend it for a rental.

• Hancock (2008) 6/10

  2008-08-12 23:01

  

  An anti-superhero movie staring Will Smith, "Hancock" takes a new approach at telling the story of a superhero not wanted by the public. The film suffers from weak visual effects and an even weaker plot. While the movie starts off in an okay diection, the ending makes absolutely no sense and leaves you wanting your money back.
