Coulter, Clinton, & Jarhead

It's time for another review.

I finished reading Condi vs. Hillary by Dick Morris last month. I was seeking a somewhat unbias review of the strenghts and weaknesses of each of the supposedly future candidates. But, I got less from a guy who wrote Rewriting History, a continuous assault on Mrs. Clinton. Morris pumps up Condi as a superhero who has never done a wrong and Hillary as a two-faced liar who stuck by her husband only to get into his position a decade down the line. Having read Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story, I didn't learn much about Rice. I did, however, learn quite a bit of Hillary's lies and her willingness to do anything to get into office. If you're looking for a book that looks into the crystal ball with bias glasses, pick up Condi vs. Hillary. If a review on the future of two competing candidates is what you're looking for, read Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story and The Case For Hillary. 4/5 stars

After work on opening night, I caught the 11:30 showing of Jarhead. It was my first experience with Jamie Foxx and was presently surprised. I expected more from the American Beauty director, Sam Mendes. According to Slate.com, he copied the book to film. Critics say looking at the movie from afar, the translation of the book gives the movie the extra pop. Normal viewers will see it as a movie where nothing happens. It was definitely worth my $7.00 and am willing to see it in the theater again. I give praise to any movie that brings tears to my eyes. 4/5 stars.

Instead of buying Is it True What They Say About Ann?, I asked the library to purchase it for their collection. I'm happy to say that the tax-payers paid for a movie about Ann Coulter. I'm definitely a fan and enjoyed every minute listening to her wit. She's easy on the eyes too. The movie, however, was poorly made and only lasted 40 minutes. The creators did nothing to push an agenda or make a point. It was a collection of Ann's speeches, writings, and interviews. I love Ann, but I'm glad the 26 bucks didn't come out of my pocket. 2/5 stars.
