Let Fury Have The Hour DVD Review
By: MattInRC

Let Fury Have the Hour is self-congratulatory and one-sided, existing more to waste our time than to educate us.

Antonino D'Ambrosio's Let Fury Have the Hour tries to fashion itself as a moving documentary against right-wing politics by featuring musicians and artists who've thrived during the conservative movement of the past 30 years. Instead, the film does more to expose his overly-liberal views, cheapening the final product and making us wonder if he realizes just how poorly put-together his film looks and feels. Featuring acts like Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and rapper Chuck D, as well as variety of lesser known social activists, there's nothing new or inventive about Fury. It's filled with random (and manipulated) stock footage, looking no better than an MSNBC true-crime documentary that employs the same tired resources.

If D'Ambrosio's message is that governments try to sway people by fear or intimidation, we get it; but we don't need this confusing production, missing any sort of clear delivery, to remind us of something we already knew. If governments are somehow the center of people's problems - D'Ambrosio suggests - then punk rock, skateboarding, and street art are the keys to bringing it down. I can only guess this is what he desires audiences to take away, because anything else would have been too difficult to mine from it. Just like the counter-culture of the 60's, we always seem to be in a period where artists demand our attention to the larger issues facing the world, to see things differently and then act upon what we see. I get that music and art in general are perfect conduits towards this lofty goal, but I also argue that far better vehicles exist than Fury to gain sufficient inspiration. By the end of this 85-minute act of self-service, you're not entirely sure what you've seen, but you know you don't like it, not because it challenges but that it simply bores.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Given current political and societal trends, I would agree; but embarking upon an effort to change the world by using Let Fury Have the Hour as inspiration is not the place to start. Regardless if one supports this cause, you'll be frustrated by its lack of clarity. Skip this one.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
