I’ve got to admit I was really skeptical at first, who wants to go see a movie about windshield wiper blades? I think that these real life stories are great, but should be betrayed in small indie films instead of mainstream fare. There are so many stories of “the man” and “big bad corporations” beating the little people down and somehow the little people go out on their own, representing themselves in court and win.
My question is how the hell did they get by all those years that they spent every day, all day, fighting the corporate monster? What did they live on? You never, or hardly, see them work or have a 9 to 5, so how did they make it? Was it an easier time, era?
Most of these stories are set back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, was it easier to get disability, welfare, live off the lamb? Then you have to wonder why we don’t see these stories set in today’s time? What, from the 90’s on no one can compete, we all except being beat down and simply take being walked on by corporate America?

I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m a… fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it I can sing it for you. Damn I did it again, I keep getting Eagle Eye confused with 2001: A Space Odyssey, how clumsy of me.
If you have a sensitive gag reflex then Choke is not the film for you there are plenty of scenes that will make you gasp, feel your tongue swell and the bile rise. Throughout the story there is never a redeeming quality about any one single character and ultimately they are all pathetic and desperate, but this merely adds to the humor.

In a summer of super heroes and villains both on screen and off screen The Dark Knight rises above and knocks all of them off the charts. This film will stand the test of time going darker and deeper into a world of crime and punishment than anybody ever has for a comic book film. The Dark Crusader (
