PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton (2011)
Reviewing this media huckster is my pleasure and a public service
Here's the good news...Al Sharpton whether he likes it or not is nearing the end of his television broadcast run...Sharpton is a wholly misinformed race baiter, opportunist, extortionist and fraud...he needs to be junked along with the rest of the 1980's relics that are no longer relevant...the news director is an African American woman and so, Sharpton won't be able to holler racism when the axe comes down...but for us it's not soon enough!...
Flying Blind (2012)
Flying Blind...
Flying Blind is a thoroughly enjoyable, thought provoking, political essay on post 9/11 tensions generally shared in the West. The film does a wonderful job exposing the subtleties with regard to the nuances of prejudice often extended to persons of Arab descent. Add to that mix, the intelligent insertion of sexual tension and the film's star Helen McCrory. McCrory confidently exhibits her ability to carry the film and her presence(she is smashing!)and courage assure that you come away from this film thoroughly entertained and informed. This film should be seen by a wider audience. But then again, I'm somewhat prejudiced when reviewing Helen McCrory's work, as I'm usually fond of most everything she does.
