OT: "War, Inc.", watch it.

IMO War, Inc. is over-written, self-indulgent and erratic. It also tries
a little too hard to be funny. But ultimately it succeeds simultaneously
in being both an exposé and a parody of the Military Industrial Complex,
whilst developing ostensibly shallow characters in a way that encourages
a surprising degree of sympathy. Despite the surreal conditions, and the
caricature personas, the the portrayal of politics and emotional torment
imbues a shocking sense of reality, far more convincing than a sanitised
news report, and leaves the viewers with a profound sense of sadness and
outrage at a society overwhelmed by the evils of power and greed.

Very good, almost as good as Power of Nightmares.
