We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks (now on video)

[WE STEAL SECRETS: THE STORY OF WIKILEAKS is now available on home video.]

Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.

Right now, we're in the resurgence of abominable child-molestation accusations against Oscar candidate Woody Allen (who may well be innocent, but who is a filmmaker, which in my book is halfway towards being guilty - whatever the charges).

I'm amused that it mostly seems to be well-educated women who rise to Allen's defense...just as it was upscale feminists who slobber all over Bill Clinton. Makes one wonder who it was women ever slept with in the first place to get the right to vote... Oh, I remember, Warren G. Harding. Anyway, if Ariel Castro hadn't died in prison, he'd have the girls campaigning for him as well. Ladies love the bad boys, right, Justin Bieber?

We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists (now on video)

Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.


A short time ago, Cleveland Movie Blog editor Bob
Ignizio posted his review of the documentary CLEANFLIX, an excellent nonfiction feature about the ironies of home-video movie censorship in Mormon territory that actually made a balanced case for LDS censors (it helps, of course, when the antagonists are powerful corporate-studio swine, even with their movie-director minions moaning about "artistic freedom"). Anyway, I had a review of that in my archive FIRST, but just sort of figured CLEANFLIX was a little too off-the-radar for you miserable Clevelanders, who probably want to hear more about garbage like Dance Moms (which I had to review also, BTW). I was going to pull CLEANFLIX out of mothballs if the Cedar Lee or Cinematheque or somebody had the good taste to premiere it on the big screen...but no. Ignizio tracked down watched the movie himself and scooped me.
