Musings on movies, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I write about things I liked WITHOUT SPOILERS. The only thing I hate more than spoilers is reviewers' trashing movies because they think it makes them seem smart. Movie title links are usually links to blog posts.

FLOW: For Love of Water (2008)
This disturbing documentary, nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2008, shows the polluting and stealing of worldwide water by evil corporations, and encourages us lucky folks to stop taking it for granted. Scary and maddening, it has one bit of comic relief: a segment from Penn & Teller's wonderful Showtime series Bulls**t (I happened to have seen that segment and it's great--here's 13 minutes of it, much more than was in the documentary). I recommend both the P&T clip (warning for profanity) and the movie FLOW. This link will give you more on the movie, including the trailer. For the record, Jack and I drink filtered tap water at home and chilled tap water in restaurants (if it's funky, and sometimes it is, I'll ask for a lemon slice).
