Two Thumbs Up!

Roger Ebert totally gets our movies. He called Fox News a Republican propaganda machine, and he says "Wal-Mart, on balance, has not been good for America."

Check out video of Ebert & Roeper's review.

Here's another of my favorite reviews this week.. Ty Burr at the Boston Globe: "The movie's masterstroke is to avoid interviewing the usual anti-globalist suspects and let solid, hard-working middle Americans speak. ... 'Wal-Mart' is advocacy journalism at its most unsparing, and it demands to be seen, discussed, argued with, and acted upon."

"By the final credits you may want to picket Sam Walton's grave."

Ellen: NEW

Jim,
I can't wait to see the movie and to see what effect it has on our community which has been deeply divided by the prospect of a Super Wal-Mart. Our screening is Sunday. I'll keep you posted, of course.
