Movie review from Gary Chew
"The Limits of Control"
In "The Limits of Control," Isaach De Bankolé plays an enigmatic Lone Man. Focused and intense, he goes about a surreptitious task in the urban and rural landscapes of Spain.

"Addicted to War" comic book, click to visit site

An Anti-War Comic Book
ADDICTED to WAR: Why The U.S. Can't Kick Militarism by Joel Andreas takes on the most active, powerful and destructive military in the world. This ain't your father's war comic book! It tells the history of U.S. foreign wars – from the Indian Wars to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – in a comic book format. Over 200,000 copies have been distributed, and it has recently been approved by the San Francisco School District as a supplemental book to be used by high school history teachers, grades 10 through 12.
   The book makes great reading for anyone, full of facts about U.S. wars you didn't get in school, like this great quote from Major General Smedley Butler, who at the time of his death was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. After he retired in 1931, he said "I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."
