On Monday. September 16, Joel Gilbert will preview his new documentary, “The Trayvon Hoax,” in the 500-seat Ballroom of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The screening begins at 1 p.m. Admission is free, and Gilbert is encouraging all interested parties to come see for themselves what could be a game-changer in the way the media report racially-charged news. Gilbert’s findings are that significant. Having written a book on the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin — If I Had a Son-- I have been following Gilbert’s progress with interest. In fact, I introduced Gilbert to George Zimmerman, the...

Courtesy of Open Culture, Inside Job, the scariest Wall Street "horror movie" ever produced can now be seen for free. Charles Ferguson's masterpiece is a must watch for anyone and everyone who has even a passing interest in the intersection of finance, economics, politics, corruption, crime, complacency and above all, the human inability to predict the future when the only driving force is pure greed. And as Open Culture notes, "Inside Job can be purchased on DVD at Amazon. We all love free, but let’s remember that good projects cost real money to develop, and they could use real financial...

In the News & Record last Sunday, Lewis Beale of Newsday wrote about how "War films can be hard for Hollywood to peddle." It seems that "of the four flms released in the past six months dealing with the current world situation -- all with big-name stars and the full Hollywood studio push -- none earned a profit in its initial theatrical release." Stephen Bochco explains the failure of these war films (as of his own TV series on the war, Over There) by saying, "It's a hugely unpopular war, and there's a staggering amount of depressing coverage.... I don't...

THE environmental campaigner Al Gore is being tipped as a favourite to win the Nobel peace prize in Oslo this Friday in a controversial move that could place saving the planet above saving people from war and conflict. Gore, a former American vice-president and failed presidential candidate, has reinvented himself as the “Goracle” with a rock star following after presenting last year’s Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, about the dangers of climate change. He was nominated for the Nobel prize jointly with Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a Canadian Inuit activist who has campaigned about the effect of climate change on Arctic peoples....

I'm going to make a little prediction. In a few days, Michael Moore's latest mockumentary, "Sicko," will release nationally. It is an indictment of health care in the U.S. and a paean to systems in worker paradises like Cuba. But given the notoriety and box-office success of some of Michael Moore's other agitprop fare, I predict it will be rapidly followed by the introduction of major federal legislation that will, in effect, attempt to nationalize and socialize medicine in the U.S. In my own meager effort to pre-empt this well-orchestrated plot, I would like to bust a few of the...

This has to be the funniest "mockumentary" I have ever seen. Click Here, and Enjoy

MEMBER OF N.Y. FILM CRITICS CIRCLE BLASTS MICHAEL MOORE FOR NO-SHOW Tuesday, January 11 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lead film critic of the New York Daily News has taken Michael Moore to task for ditching an appearance at the New York Film Critics Circle dinner awards ceremony where he would have picked up a Best Documentary award for Fahrenheit 9/11 and instead flying to California to receive the favorite movie award on the televised People's Choice Awards. Saying that Moore's actions deserved an award for "Slight of the Year," Jack Mathews commented, "He chose the nonaward over the award, the patronizing...

Michael Moore will walk the Democratic convention floor after all. In fact, he'll give an interview to Larry King, appear on MSNBC with Ron Reagan and talk on ABC's "Good Morning America" from the floor this week. He'll even share a box at the convention with invited VIP guests such as Al Franken and Ben Affleck. Moore said Saturday that the Democratic Party is welcoming him, even though he first believed a "low-level, disgruntled person" was trying to deny him the access he sought to the convention. "It was really just a matter of I made the request so late,"...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - More than a thousand people turned out Tuesday night for the world premiere of "The Hunting of the President," a film claiming to expose "the 10-year campaign to destroy Bill Clinton." The 90-minute documentary re-creates interviews conducted for the best-selling book of the same name by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons. Rough versions have already played at four film festivals. The first public showing, at $50 a ticket — with the proceeds going to a couple of Arkansas-based charities — drew a large crowd to a ballroom at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock, a...

Lion's Gate up on Moore film deal By William Spain, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 1:25 PM ET June 2, 2004 CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Lion's Gate Entertainment rose Wednesday on word that the company will be a part of a "fellowship" formed to distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11," the latest documentary from director Michael Moore. The film, which had been seeking a distributor since a nervous Walt Disney Co. gave it pass, will roll nationally with the help of the so-called Fellowship Adventure Group, a venture formed just for the purpose by Miramax chiefs Harvey and Bob Weinstein that also will include...

Berkeley Filmmaker Satirizes Lesbian Parenthood By DAVID SCHARFENBERG (06-20-03) Sometimes it takes more than a village to raise a child. Sometimes, it takes the Village People. That’s the gag at the heart of “Teaching Teo,” a new 15-minute “mockumentary” by first-time Berkeley filmmaker Diane Dodge about raising a baby in the Bay Area’s gay community. “We’re just kind of laughing at ourselves,” said Dodge, 43, a San Diego native who has lived in the East Bay for years. The short, which premieres Sunday afternoon at the 27th Annual San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, begins with Teo,...

The "Academy" Must Now Share Michael Moore's Cinematic Shame By Chris W. Cox Executive Director NRA Institute for Legislative Action As the record-low television audience that sat through the latest Hollywood celebration of Hollywood knows, the Academy Award for a feature documentary film was given to Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, a painfully pretentious work of anti-American, anti-gun, anti-NRA propaganda. But many don't know that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had to violate its own rules to allow Moore to compete for, much less win, an Oscar. The Academy's "Special Rules for the Documentary Award" define a...
