Outfoxed(2004)

8/10

Outfoxed(2004) is a provoking documentary. It's definitely worth seeing - whether you watch Fox or CNN. Outfoxed(2004) makes you question pretty much the whole TV industry. As Robert L. Peters, the principal of Circle (http://www.circle.mb.ca), said: "Question answers. Assume nothing." Wish editing was of a higher caliber, including the background music.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance(2005)

10/10

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance(2005) is absolutely my favorite kind of movie, except that it is not as uplifting. Other than that - a-m-a-z-i-n-g! It's rich, symbolic, deep. Watch it!

2011: Re-watching this movie again, and I'm getting a different impression. I'm still impressed with the twisted plot and excellent craftsmanship. But I'm a little disturbed by the amount of violence.

Wordplay (2006)

6/10

Wordplay (2006) is OK. It was similar to
Spellbound (2003), but about adults. The subject matter - the world of crossword puzzles - is original, and the main characters, the New York Times crossword puzzle compiler - Will Shortz - and crossword puzzle solvers, are super intelligent and geeky at the same time.

For the first time I did not to like Jon Stewart. I think he took a part of a salesman for
this movie. Wordplay (2006) also seemed too long at times. Overall I was glad to get out from the theater.
