Margin Call

Freakonomics is a 2010 documentary movie shot in style of "Capitalizm: A love story" and "Zeitgeist". The film is loosely based on a book of the same name written by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. The idea behind the book was that statistics can be used to disguise what you have always believed to be true. This same theory has been presented by six known documentarians in Freakonomics. Each director has a different style, which proves to be both informative and entertaining. It is sure to be anything but the common stereotype of boring that documentaries usually get. Freakonomics is definitely worth watching and will dispel many myths believed today.

Talented Michael Moore directed another glorious documentary. Capitalism: A Love Story is bit less entertaining than the 9/11 Fahrenheit or Bowling for Columbine. But despite this, Moore is a man who knows what to cling to government. As always, he addresses important issues: the capitalism and the banking system.From the outset he greatly compared the social order of the Roman Empire and the United States. He also showcased his own autobiographical experiences (he was even filmed his father). Undoubtedly, it is worth mentioning a lot of interesting facts, which are unknown for the people inexperienced in politics. "In this film Michael Moore shows as who is in charge of the government, in whose hands, in fact, America is, who has the last word. There are lots Michael Moore's amusing humor, but everything is based on the serious accusations. This time he decided to make the citizen's arrests and return the money from banks in the U.S. treasury."

On December 3, 2010, former Washington lobbyist, kingmaker, huckster, and felon was released from federal prison after serving nearly four years of a six-year sentence for fraud and corruption of public officials. A few days later, Casino Jack movie opened in limited North American release: The consummate con man and his complicated movie are out on the streets. "Casino Jack movie attempts to dramatize Jack Abramoff's epic manipulation and exploitation of Native American gaming officials and his systematic corruption of two White House officials, a Congressman, and nine other lobbyists and Congressional staffers. Abramoff took millions from the gaming nations, and he redistributed hundreds of thousands among the folks who walk Washington's corridors of power. The difference, of course, was just his fee."The problem is that epic scandals do not easily reduce to pulp fiction fare. Casino Jack is one of those ripped-from-the-headlines movies that proves both Truth's capacity for growing stranger than fiction and a good story's capacity for becoming too big even for the big screen. The culture of corruption in Washington, DC is just too complicated to unravel in one single plot thread, and the character of "Casino Jack" Abramoff is just a little too kaleidoscopically complex and quirky to demystify in just an hour and a half. Kevin Spacey, however, brings all of his training, talent, and one-of-a-kind intensity to the role of Abramoff. Even if the story does not always make perfect sense, nevertheless Spacey and associates recreate the look and feel of "an almost impossibly rich historical record of scandal, ambition, double dealing and ideological grandstanding."
