Good, bad or mediocre, I'm on a quest to watch every movie ever made at least once ... 6,000+ so far.

'Fair Game' tanks at box office
The latest Sean Penn liberal fantasy about alleged misdeeds during the Bush administration tanks at the box office. It does not appear the film will not make its $22 million production costs.
The day I saw "The Hurt Locker" I told my friend, "That is an academy award-winning film." The day I saw "Fair Game" I said "Those were two academy award-winning performances." Both Sean Penn and Naomi Watts were extraordinary, and it seems bleak indeed that they were overlooked by the Academy, and the audience, presumed to be split down the middle, with a good portion unwilling to see the truth, probably still convinced of "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq. Terrible shame this movie isn't being seen, along with "Inside Job" and "Casino Jack," for a bitter swallow of reality.
