The House I Live In Movie Review
1 November 2012 4:43 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: The House I Live In Director: Eugene Jarecki A searing, stirring and deeply humanistic documentary look at the collateral damage and some of the perhaps unintended consequences of the United States’ decades-long “war on drugs,” Eugene Jarecki’s “The House I Live In” is an emotionally shattering work, but also one that has a hefty, legitimate intellectual punching power. Suffused with a righteous anger that the filmmaker methodically turns up to a full boil, this Grand Jury Prize winner from this year’s Sundance Film Festival is a compelling portrait of failed social policy. While the drug war is for many synonymous with the Reagan administration, it was actually formally launched under Richard Nixon. Since [ Read More ]

Watch: Intriguing Trailer for War on Drugs Doc 'The House I Live In'
4 September 2012 9:04 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Documentarian Eugene Jarecki has already tackled topics like the military supremacy of the United States in Why We Fight, the hidden side of human nature through the use of the science of economics in Freakonomics and one of our nation's presidents in Reagan. Now he's diving into the War on Drugs, a costly endeavor that arguably has created more problems that solutions to society's drug use, with the documentary The House I Live In. This film criticizes the War on Drugs, claiming it has cost countless lives, destroyed families, and inflicted untold damage on future generations. It's quite captivating. Watch! Here's the first trailer for Eugene Jarecki's The House I Live In, in high def from Apple: Filmed in more than twenty states, The House I Live In tells the stories of individuals at all levels of America's War on Drugs.

Exclusive: Poster For Eugene Jarecki's Sundance Award-Winning Documentary 'The House I Live In'
30 August 2012 8:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With powerful and probing films like "The Trials of Henry Kissinger," "Why We Fight" and "Reagan," documentarian Eugene Jarecki has turned a critical eye to some of the most fundamental political and social issues on the American landscape, and he's done it again with his latest effort, "The House I Live In." We're unveiling the exclusive poster for the upcoming film, and it promises to be another riveting exploration of a subject that has gone on the backburner a bit in the national conversation. The film, which won the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January, delves into the so-called "war on drugs," looking deeply into its systemic failures, exposing the true human cost of the current approach and offering inspiring solutions for change. Jarecki talks to activists, prisoners, legal experts, journalists and more to paint an expansive portrait of the subject. Yes, this one sounds like it's going to. »

The True Cost Of Bush's Economy
12 June 2012 1:51 PM, PDT | Celebsology | See recent Celebsology news »
Since Obama took office, the Gop has been relentlessly using the national debt as a justification for their proposed policies of severe spending cuts. But how did we get a debt crisis in the first place? By spending money like a coke fiend, George W. Bush squandered our national surplus on Iraq, Medicare Part D, and, most importantly, his fabled tax cuts; the debt Gop hates so much is entirely the consequence of their own economic policies.
In 2000, the Congressional Budget Office forecasted that there would be a six trillion dollar surplus accumulated by the end of the decade. This was based on the surplus in 2001, the result of the Dot Com bubble and Clinton’s tax raises. (Funny how Clinton presided over a growing economy and increasing taxes. Does tax guru Grover Norquist have a rebuttal?)
Rubbing his hands together at that forecast, Bush Jr. decided to snatch the »

Sundance 2012. Awards
30 January 2012 3:22 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Parker Posey was all set to host last night's awards ceremony, but fell ill — and so, as live-bloggers Eric Hynes and Claiborne Smith report, Sundance festival director John Cooper reluctantly took the helm, choking up a bit right at the top as he drove himself through a remembrance of Bingham Ray. Rebounding, he brought on director and actress Katie Aselton as co-host and it was on to the awards. You can actually watch all this here (select "2012 Sundance Film Festival"). An overview of what the critics are saying about the winners:
Grand Jury Prize: Documentary. The House I Live In, "a lucid, long-view unpacking of the War on Drugs from Eugene Jarecki, who ably dissected the lead-up to the Iraq War in Why We Fight." The Boston Globe's Ty Burr: "The movie marshals a wide selection of talking heads, from Oklahoma prison guards and Reagan-era appointees to street dealers and Jarecki's own nanny, »
Meet the 2012 Sundance Filmmakers #9: Eugene Jarecki, 'The House I Live In'
6 January 2012 6:30 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Documentary filmmaker and Sundance staple Eugene Jarecki (his last film "Reagan" premiered at the festival in 2001 and his 2005 film "Why We Fight" won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize) is back this year with "The House I Live In" (U.S. Documentary competition), a comprehensive work that delves into the war on drugs. What it's about: Filmed in more than 20 states, "The House I Live In" tells the stories of individuals at all levels of America's war on drugs. Says director Jarecki: "I've been preparing to make this film for over 20 years. But its seeds were planted in my childhood. I first met Nannie Jeter, one of the film’s main characters, when I was just a few days old coming home from the hospital. From that day on, she became a second mother to me, and her children and grandchildren a second family. Growing up in the wake of the civil rights movement, »
