Just when I thought I had found a slam dunk – a documentary about one of my favorite films of all time, The Shining – I quickly realized that Room 237 was not the film I expected and wanted to be.  Room 237, so titled for the infamous room from The Shining, takes an interesting approach to the subject matter, gathering an assortment of eccentric lovers of the film who all have various theories on its deeper meanings.  Like the film being about the oppression of the Native Americans to Hitler’s persecution of the Jews to even stranger interpretations.

A romantic comedy that unfathomably cost $120 million to make, How Do You Know was released in December, poised to the feel-good “it” movie of the holidays. Instead, it earned only $30 million domestically, making it one of the biggest flops of 2010.

I am a supporter of Barack Obama; I think Hillary Clinton may be a better President, but Obama has a few things going for him. He is more electable. Clinton divides, whereas Obama bridges the gap. This is both good for winning against McCain, and for the nation in general. That being said, Clinton just found a way to get her message to spread virally on the Internet; I have to imagine this political ad is going to wind up all over the place…

The Jack Nicholson political ad, which has Nicholson supporting Hillary Clinton, takes blurbs from some of his most memorable roles and twist them into support for what Clinton. The Joker, the guy from The Shining, and several other Nicholson characters are shown off and on with political messages intertwined. It’s a clever ad, though I have to question whether it’s smart to have Nicholson’s most psychotic characters voting for Clinton. After all, does it mean you have to be crazy to throw your support behind here?
