A feast of films from Traverse City Film Festival
Another film feast for discerning viewers of progressive cinema has come to an end; here's the round up.

"The Butler" brings civil rights era to life
Forest Whitaker Is incapable of anything that isn't stellar. The rest of the cast, basically everybody in Hollywood, Is completely stunning.

“Elysium” gives sci-fi twist to immigration, health care
Sci-fi is such a perfect microscope for examining contemporary problems!

“The Gatekeepers”: brutally frank and powerful
If you have any interest at all in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, "The Gatekeepers" is essential viewing.

“World War Z” as World War Proletariat
If you're tired of hearing about zombies...that's probably too bad. America's most popular monster shows no sign of shambling away quietly.
