Wayne Gayle If hindsight is 20/20, then perhaps Oliver Stone’s ode to TV violence was a harbinger of things to come. Downey’s channeling of Geraldo Rivera is worth the price of admission.

And Everything Is Going Fine Directed by Steven Soderbergh It’s strange, the effect stories have when you know that they are true.  They feel more immediate.  That’s the power of non-fiction: the images are somehow more vivid, the blood somehow wetter.  There is no disbelief in need of suspension.  These things happened.  They exist.
