This documentary govers the Newark, New Jersey Major race. The major of 30 years who avoided a serious corruption scandal is threatened to be ousted by a new up and comer. As a result the Major uses and abuses all the power he can to try and win the election. If you have a sign supporting the opposite candidate in your place of business, he'll call the building commission to find "something" wrong with your building and close your business down. If you work for the local government and support the opposite candidate, he'll either have you demoted, put on horrible working shifts, or fired all together. It's quite an interesting look at the dirty side of election campaigns. The film was nominated for Best Documentary.

(M) Loose Change (Documentary?)
Grade: A
This is absolutely fascinating. I don't know if anyone out there has ever had problems with the story we've been told about what happened on 9-11 or if you ever had any questions that went un-answered but this film assumes the government is behind 9-11. Yes, I know... conspiracy theory... blah blah blah, I'm not a fan of them either. However, this is great! I don't buy 100% of this films premise, but I absolutely do believe the governemt had some knowledge and some involvement in what happened on 9-11. You really should find a copy of this film and watch it. It's available for download on the internet.
