Street Fight (2005)
This documentary on Cory Booker’s 2002 mayoral campaign in Newark offers a different point of view on the campaign movie from what I remember about The War Room. There aren’t any incredibly colorful characters, like a James Carville, but the film is a great reminder of how exciting local politics can sometimes be.
Verdict: Watch it on Netflix online, or go out and rent it.

What I Read Today (2/8/09)
This is the first in a (hopefully) daily collection of links to interesting stories that I have read. I’m going to try to vary what I post in order to keep things fresh, but keep in mind that I am but a man, and as a man I can only have so many tastes.

Go (1999)
Surprisingly decent, and the only palatable Jay Mohr film I can think of outside of Jane Austen’s Mafia! I guess this must have been made back when people went to raves more regularly. Do people still go to raves? If so, do they give out glowsticks?
Verdict: If it comes on while flipping channels, give it a chance.
