Negative Space: conspiracy
- All the President’s Men
- Probably one of the most influential events in journalism history made into one of the best films of the seventies.
- Capricorn One
- A totally strange collection of actors, this 1978 conspiracy film holds up fairly well. It was never great, but it is pretty good. Bonus: O.J. Simpson gets to be the first black astronaut (at least, American astronaut) in space, or would have, if the mission hadn’t been faked. Movies in 1978 were more ahead of the curve racially than real life.
- Men in Black
- A secret organization of special agents with no sense of humor centered in New York. Why do they have to remain secret? Probably because they’re cops and they’re nice to people. You just don’t do that in New York. This is a feature-packed DVD for a reasonably funny movie. Can’t believe it was the highest grossing film from Columbia, however. That doesn’t say much for the rest of Columbia’s content.
- Wag the Dog
- The president is accused of molesting a child. The president’s guilt or innocence doesn’t matter. What matters is the election in eleven days.
