Review:

One day, I'll stop using these placeholders as representatives for their films or I'll stop reviewing them.

Trailer: A-

Review:

Even if it weren't acclaimed documentarian Errol Morris behind this documentary, just the stylized symbolism housed in this trailer would be enough to entice viewers to the theater. The subject matter may be tough, but it's presented with such visual flair that it could be somewhat transcendent.

Oscar Prospects:

Chalk this one up as the next Errol Morris Oscar contender. I have no doubt it will likely be the nominee. Whether it will also win is a difficult question, but one that becomes easier after the success of the more critical Taxi to the Dark Side.

Release Date:

April 25, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
