Film This Week in Film: So Much!
Posted by Lindy West on Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 4:18 PM
Charles Mudede on Capitalism: A Love Story:
The area of time covered in the documentary is just before and just after the crash of September 2008. What is it we see all across America? That it has become Flint. Indeed, the American-style capitalism that removed Flint's economic base and industrial production, and relocated it to poorer parts of the world has spread its program to every corner of the country.
Paul Constant on The September Issue:
Only briefly—especially one shot of Wintour riding in the backseat of her town car in a miniskirt, her knees looking knobby and fragile—do we understand that we are watching a ridiculous old woman in gaudy clothes who has made a career out of telling ridiculously skinny young women which gaudy clothes to wear.
Andrew Wright on Zombieland:
Outside of monkeys, pirates, and possibly ninjas, is there anything more played out than zombies? Once one of the most metaphorically charged conceits in all of horrordom, the concept of the walking dead has long been run into the ground by sheer repetition...Or, you know, maybe not.
PLUS: Me on The Invention of Lying, Courtney Ferguson on Whip It, and Andrew Wright on The Boys Are Back.
