Game Change (2012)

Director: Jay Roach

 This is an HBO movie about the Republican side of the 2008 presidential campaign. I reviewed the film for the paper, and you can find that review here. I don't have much to say beyond the review. I will say that, having read the book the film is based on, the movie takes almost every thing from the book, and I'm fairly confident in the accuracy of the book so the movie should be fairly accurate as well. Even if specific scenes are not exactly accurate, I've heard from multiple credible sources that the spirit of the campaign caught in the film is certainly accurate.

Grade: B

Filmcap: The week of April 3-10

This week saw a whole lot of stuff, much more than usual. We've got the end of a television show, two Italian films from the 50's, an impressionistic Terrence Malick-like film, a meta Iranian film, two films from Joe Wright, and a tale of a recent election. It's a lot, but I'm only preparing for what I assume will be less film watching in the summer. Have at it.
