Film7.7BelgeselSuçYönetmen Charles Ferguson, İç İşler ile, hâlâ dünyayı kasıp kavurmakta olan 2008 ekonomik krizinin perde arkasındaki akıl almaz gerçekleri ilk defa gözler önüne seren bir filme imza atıyor. Faturası 20 trilyon doları aşan kriz, milyonlarca insanı evsiz ve işsiz bırakarak mağdur etti. Film, derinlemesine araştırmaların yanı sıra finans dünyasının önemli isimleriyle, politikacılarla ve gazetecilerle yapılan dudak uçuklatıcı röportajlar üzerinden arsız bir endüstrinin gelişimini takip ediyor. Aynı zamanda da siyasetin, düzenlemelerin ve akademinin yozlaşmasıyla sonuçlanan yıkıcı ilişkiler ağını açığa çıkarıyor. Matt Damon tarafından seslendirilen film yalnızca ABD ile sınırlı kalmıyor, İzlanda, İngiltere, Fransa, Singapur ve Çin'e de giderek, her birimizin hayatını etkilemekte olan yoz ve açgözlü sistemin resmini bir bütün olarak çiziyor. Bu, olayları parça parça gazetelerde okumaktan çok farklı bir his; uyandırıyor, sarsıyor.

Film6.8BelgeselFilmed over the last six months of the 2000 Presidential election, Phillip Seymour Hoffman starts documenting the campaign at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, but spends more time outside, in the street protests and police actions than in the orchestrated conventions. Hoffman shows an obvious distaste for money politics and the conservative right. He looks seedier and more disillusioned the campaign progresses. Eventually Hoffman seems most energized by the Ralph Nader campaign as an alternative to the nearly indistinguishable major parties. The high point of the film are the comments by Barney Frank who says that marches and demonstrations are largely a waste of time, and that the really effective political players such as the NRA and the AARP never bother with walk ins, sit-ins, shoot-ins or shuffles. In the interview with Jesse Jackson, Hoffman is too flustered to ask all of his questions.

Film5.9BelgeselAn intimate portrait of recently retired Congressman Barney Frank, one of our most well-known and least understood political figures, this documentary alternates between deeply personal moments and the inner workings of our political process. Rare archival material and interviews reveal the emotional pain and harmful effects of a closeted life, the relief of coming out and the triumph of love through the Congressman's historic same-sex marriage. Frank's journey is our country's journey, a classic American story about a dedicated public servant who never loses hope.

Film5.8BelgeselWhen Clinton's decided heterosexuality was placed under fire during the Starr Investigation and ensuing impeachment hearings, gay people strongly identified with the President's discomfort and outrage. Today, public ambitions inspire (or even require) lying, covering up, and shading personal truths for survival. Barney Frank - the first openly gay politician on Capitol Hill understands a thing or two about survival on Capitol Hill. After overcoming his own sex scandal in the early 90's, Frank emerged as one of Clinton's most eloquent and sympathetic defenders during the impeachment hearings. "Let's Get Frank" is an intelligent and humorous look not only at life upon Capitol Hill, but also the dynamics of political scandal.

Jon Stewart ile The Daily Show'un eski muhabiri olan politik mizahcı Stephen Colbert'i canlandırıyor. Colbert Raporu, politikaya ve medyaya benzer şekilde yorum yapan The Daily Show'dan bir ve ikiye bölündü. Özellikle Fox News'in The O'Reilly Factor adlı muhafazakar kişiliğe dayalı politik pundit programlarını hicvediyor. Gösteri, gerçek hayat isimleriyle oynanan Stephen Colbert adlı kurgusal bir çapa karakterine odaklanıyor. Colbert tarafından “iyi niyetli, iyi bilgilendirilmiş, yüksek mevkili bir aptal” olarak tanımlanan karakter, televizyonda siyaset uzmanlarının karikatürüdür. Colbert Raporu her biri 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 ve 2012'de yedi Primetime Emmy Ödülü, iki Televizyon Eleştirmenleri Derneği Ödülü ve iki Uydu Ödülüne aday gösterildi. 2013 yılında iki Emmys kazandı. Tom DeLay Legal Defence Trust ve Robert Wexler'ın programa verdiği röportajı takiben birçok örnekte hicivsiz bir gazetecilik olarak sunuldu. Söz konusu rapor, 17 Ekim 2005'te Colbert'in “hakikat” terimini, söz konusu yayınevini Merriam-Webster'ın 2006 Yılı Kelimesi olarak adlandırdığı ilk filmi izleyerek, medyada önemli ölçüde yer aldı.

Dizi3.3Talk ShowKomediThe Jay Leno Show is an American comedy show created by and starring Jay Leno, that aired at 10 p.m. from September 14, 2009 to February 9, 2010 on NBC, after Leno's initial retirement from hosting The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In January 2010, NBC announced that due to affiliate concerns about its effect on their newscasts, The Jay Leno Show would be shortened to 30 minutes and moved from primetime to 11:35 p.m., the timeslot that had been occupied by The Tonight Show for nearly 60 years. The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien released a public statement saying that he would not participate in moving Tonight to 12:05 a.m., asserting that it would damage the highly respected franchise. Despite much support for O'Brien from both the public and media professionals alike NBC maintained its plan to move Leno to 11:35. On January 21, 2010, NBC reached a $45 million settlement with O'Brien in order to end his contract. Leno resumed his duties as host of Tonight on March 1, 2010. Leno ended on February 9, 2010 after being on the air for only four months, with Entertainment Weekly calling the program television's "Biggest Bomb of All Time."
