See Alex Gibney doc JOBS: Man in the Machine before you see STEVE JOBS

Before you go to see the Arron Sorkin written/Danny Boyle directed STEVE JOBS narrative film that world premier at New York Film Festival a few days ago, I suggest strongly you find in a theater to online the Ale Gibney dos on Jobs (Man in the Machine) it is important prep for watching the new film.. It is In theaters in a few cities and online (CNN FILMS) ... trust me on this one ...

Biden's 'Anita' problem

If you saw ANITA, the documentary about Anita Hill, I hope you were like me shocked at the manner in which Joe Biden treated Anita Hill. As far as I know he has never apologized this is an except click and paste http://www.c-span.org/video/… 



If the vice president runs, Clinton and other opponents could use his treatment of Anita Hill to erode his support among women and blacks.

NYFF Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow's documentary DE PALMA (Brian De Palma) plays NYFF one screening ..





NYFF alert: If snuff films were art and legal Brian DePalma would be the critic's master auteur of the . .. his misogyny and celebration of male bonding has none of the erotic pleasure of Norman Mailer but his mastery of craft rivals both John Ford and Leni Riefenstahl. Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow’pay homage to De Palma without  asking any hard questions. Like Hemingway the work he creates is so impeccable that the dazzle of visual craft manages to  blind the watcher during the viewing to the horror of its content.. Be prepared to lean how he has navigated Hollywood but know that little of the personal drama his life has held seeps through in this celebration of his mastery of cinematic seduction

NYFF must see:  Wow! Bergman refused to be trapped in her work in Hollywood, in her nuclear family role. took lovers and  loved her children and they her. Be4 feminism there was Bergman and oh my those cheekbones must see NYFF @filminc
