I cannot tell you that I really remember their adventures on screen, because I was less than 5 years old, but I do r...

Write freely about a movie or book you like,  Word count: 200 words. Comments on 3 classmates' blogs and on the teacher's blog as well. Review: Inside Job Last weekend I finally watched the film: Inside Job, by Charles Ferguson. It was an excellent documentary for people who don’t want to understand the financial crisis but for those of us who enjoy the "Michael Moore"-type of films. I say this because the movie has an angry tone towards American Financial system and consequent meltdown in 2007. It depicts the late-twentieth-century American economic policy in an effort to reveal and unfold the roots of the recent crisis – which is attributed to alliance between politics, academics and big business. The film received an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, and is both a careful exposition of the causes and effects of the crisis that shook the world in September 2008 , when 20 trillion dollars were lost. The movie is a documentary narrated by Matt Dam...
