I was living in New York in September 2008, and took some time a couple of days after the stock market crash to visit way downtown Manhattan and see what was going on. The quietude was shocking, as the alarms being sounded on cable news networks made it sound like I shouldn’t be surprised to see brokers peddling on the street, people running around on fire for no apparent reason, or CEOs segway-ing off of cliffs. As I rarely visited the Financial District, I had no idea whether or not this was normal. Maybe the crash had invoked a necessary meditation or speechlessness, a rare time of reflection for capitalists-run-amok. But the truth was that such panic wouldn’t be visible on the street amongst the common folk (houses around the country owned by low and middle-income families told that story), rather the chaos was happening inside the buildings themselves. Oliver Stone’s latest entry into his “W” trilogy dealing with major 21st century American events (alongside World Trade Center and W.), Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, is an attempt to inquire on the conversations that may have gone on in those buildings.

The 2008 film season brought us beauty in both traditional and unconventional ways. While there has been an argument that leading ladies are few and far between, I think there’s a strong case to be made against that. This list of ten female figures will hopefully offer proof of that.

We know that the Election Night coverage can be a bit monotonous, but while you’re waiting for the results to trickle down, you might as well watch a couple movies.

Welcome to what is sure to be another depressing week of box office predictions here at the Reject Report. Depressing because, well, we all know who’s going to win. Even if we all go see Saw V several times in a row, we won’t be able to halt the inevitable.

Well, it was a fairly predictable weekend at the theaters for a change, as I finally got a few of my predictions sort-of right.

To quote Stone: “How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?” And Stone explores that. So why don’t we? Get your drink on with this game and maybe you will be a future President of the United States.

Dear Oliver Stone, what the hell was that?

Once again we have another weekend chock full of movies, with four new wide releases coming up once again. Who can afford to go see all these movies? Especially in this lousy economy?

Mister Hand is not Bush’s biggest fan, but could Oliver Stone have actually been fair to Bush in his biopic of the sitting president?

Vanity Fair has a first look at the movie version of the 2003 cabinet of G.W. Bush from the Oliver Stone film W.

Thanks to our friends over at MovieWeb, we have another few looks of W. in various positions of thought — or lack thereof.

CNN presents us with a clip from Oliver Stone’s “W.” Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks get to know each other. Conrad meditates on the movie he wants to see come October 17.

To further us along on the journey of discovery that is the time leading up to this film’s release in the fall, we have some new b-roll footage of Josh Brolin giving a speech as George W. Bush.

While many movie fans out there are still struggling to make sense of Oliver Stone’s upcoming film W., a biopic of still-President George W. Bush, one thing is for certain: the marketing has been increasingly satirical and ultimately entertaining.

One of our faithful readers has sent us over this exclusive first look at a set of posters for the upcoming film W., which have emerged in Denver, CO, home of the upcoming Democratic National Convention. Coincidence? We think not…

Lets see if we can get through a full article about Oliver Stone’s upcoming film W. without using one of the Bushisms such as “terrorizers” or “___ type deal.” Alright, maybe that isn’t possible.

The first trailer for Oliver Stone’s upcoming film W. has hit the web earlier this evening. And at first glance, I have absolutely no idea what to make of this film.

The Academy should already be engraving his name on the little statue if Saturday’s developments are any indication of his dedication to the craft.
