I found Loose Change – the movie –  here, via video.google.com.

I watched it on 2006–04–27, Thursday night. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0437806/ My rating: 8/10 In 1968, one man named Richard Proenneke, aged 51, decided to put himself to “the test of living alone, for one year”, at the untouched “Twin Lakes”, Aleutian Peninsula, on Alaska. He chopped the trees needed to build a house; he alone built that house with [...]

I watched it on 2006–04–28, Friday night. This movie is NOT available on IMDB. My rating: 9/10 The movie exposes the “inside job” theory, according to which, the 2001–09–11 attacks, were perpetrated by Bush’s Government. On a first glance, this seems absurd, but – in fact – some questions that the movie rises are extremely [...]

I watched it on 2006–04–27, Thursday night. http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/episode/season6/episode72.shtml My rating: 7/10 After the previous terrible “gay episode” (“Live free or die”), The Sopranos is back to the regular quality. In this episode, Arthur Bucco stars, with business problems at his Vesuvio restaurant: as if it wasn’t enough to be down 40% on served meals, his Albanian [...]

I watched it on 2006–04–17, Sunday. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0436262/ My rating: 7/10 Very, *very* impressive performance by Naomi Watts, playing “Ellie Parker”, an aspiring actress at Hollywood. She even doesn’t look like King Kong’s Ann Darrow! Buy it at: amazon.co.uk ; amazon.com ; Above, poster. Above, some photos of Naomi Watts, from WireImage.com

I watched it on 2006–04–30, Sunday night. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0068473/ My rating: 8/10 Superb adventure movie, about four friends who decide to go on a river-rafting weekend, down the Cahulawassee river, before it is flooded, because of a dam, that is being constructed and nearing completion. The viewer can guess that the four canoeists will face trouble, [...]

I watched it on 2006–04–28, Saturday night. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0365485/ My rating: 6/10 Slow paced flick, about a professional hitman (Julian Noble, played by Pierce Brosnan), and an unlucky family man (Danny Wright, played by Greg Kinnear), who – by chance – happen to become friends at Mexico. There are funny moments, but I got sleepy with [...]

I watched it on 2006–04–25, Tuesday night. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0352248/ My rating: 7/10 I thought that after Raging Bull and the Rocky series, it would be hard to deliver another interesting boxing movie. Hard to do it, or not, “Cinderella Man” is an emotional achievement, about the career of James Braddock, very much influenced by the terrible [...]

I watched it on 2006–04–23, Sunday night. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0368555/ My rating: 7/10 Solid comedy about Owen (Paul Schneider), who decides to leave L.A., as a solution to run away from his failed love life and depressing writer career. Buy it at: amazon.co.uk ; amazon.com ; Above, DVD cover.

I watched it on 2006–04–12, Wednesday. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416320/ My rating: 7/10 I wouldn’t guess it was a Woody Allen movie, if it wasn’t for the music. The plot is very much Brian De Palma… Buy it at: amazon.co.uk ; amazon.com ; Above, DVD cover #1. Above, DVD cover #2.
