In other, non-pirated news, Slate ran a great "revisionist" story on the
most significant piece of comic-art maybe ever, but definitely of the past 20 years.
SyrianaThe
NY1 movie-club decided to check out the HOT NEW political thriller "Syriana" this past Thursday. The film, in a word, is almost helplessly confusing. Remember Traffic? Remember how kick ass it was? Remember how there were these three storylines and each had its own visual style and then they would overlap and such. Well, Syriana is just like that only less-so and more-so. It isn't as visually fascinating, but the storylines are there in spades. Just good luck trying to figure out what the hell Jeffrey Wright is suppose to be doing. That being said, when the film comes to a close you'll be pretty confident that something shady was going on, even if you can't pinpoint what it is.
The performances are top-notch, and the maze of a script... well, WOW.
What is Recoil rating?
THREE AND 1/2 STARS! (bitch.)
