Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore's latest film, has a new trailer. It features plenty of Moore's patented badgering and a cameo by Indiana's own Baron Hill. Capitlism is a look at the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy during the transition between the incoming Obama Administration and the outgoing Bush Administration. Yawn.


Gamer starring 300's Gerard Butler is an action movie that puts forth some interesting questions about the future of video games. Gamer is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people...for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game "Slayers," allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Truth be told, I'm not all that interested in this one; it smacks of Running Man. Never the less, it's probably relevent here.
