The movie Oddsac is an aptly-titled grab bag of headfucking psychedelia directed by Danny Perez and starring, scored by- and jointly conceptualized with the indie rock band Animal Collective.
Daniels exudes confidence when talking about his latest film, Precious. It's as if he knows this story about an obese, ugly, dark-skinned teenage girl from the ghetto -- whose father repeatedly rapes her -- is going to impact the lives of millions.
Capitalism filled me with a sensation that's previously been foreign to the Michael Moore viewing experience: boredom. It's longer, sloppier and less interesting than his usual demagoguery.
One could conceivably see this story being played straight in other hands -- or even in Soderbergh's hands, for that matter. But the insanely prolific filmmaker is on his fourth movie in the past 10 months, and he obviously just felt like goofing around this week.
When face time is scored, it's not far from Chris Wallace's recent fawning Dick Cheney interview. Softballs are lobbed, and Wintour gets to look, alas, vaguely human. She remains, basically, unchallenged, her devil boss status unchanged but herself all the more lovable.
