Seems as though it’s time for Jack to set sail, while the waiting continues for the ten of you who haven’t seen Waiting for Superman to do so. In all seriousness, we’re thrilled at the reaction the movie has been getting, and hope it has helped spur some interesting discourse about the education system, both about what is going right and what we can work on improving. Along those same lines, we have another documentary about another crisis, which I might argue is just as important for people to see and understand.
Inside Job tells the story of the financial crisis that has impacted each and every one of us, and explores the root causes. And I have the chance to say something I’ll probably never get to say again – we’re opening a movie starring Matt Damon! Okay, he just narrates, and I can neither confirm nor deny he breaks out a “How bout dem apples?” in a heavy Boston accent. Everybody has heard of the evils of credit default swaps and derivatives, but after seeing the movie, you can understand what you’ve been cursing for the past three years (your curator, with an MBA, can be included in that group, as she had her aha moment after seeing this film). Critics are in agreement that it’s educational and won’t put you to bed like that Intro to Accounting class did back in college. Mark Burger from Yes!Weekly thinks it may be the scariest movie all year and our local Relish says "You may think you don't want to see this. But you should."
