Dead Birds
$9.95
If you are looking for a body count and buckets of blood, look elsewhere, but if you are in the mood of a character driven film with a slow but creepy build, DEAD BIRDS will not disappoint. A band of Civil War-era thieves take refuge in a secluded farmhouse, but the sins of the past catch up with them as the men encounter a swarm of demons that have taken permanent residence in the location. The film uses a minimalist score that sends shivers down the spine as ambient sounds drone in the background while the characters search dimly lit hallways with faceless demons hiding in the shadows. The creature designs can best be described as amorphous humanoid blobs with black voids for eyes and razor sharp teeth and claws. Though the film isn't FX heavy, the scenes where we do encounter these terrors are frightening and intriguing at the same time. There are many surreal and nightmarish sequences that demand repeat viewings for the viewer to unlock the true meaning behind, while figuring out how the dead birds play into the picture. This is a solid Indie effort with high production values and a great cast, well worth seeking out for anyone that hasn't seen it yet!

Alright, so it's not a 5 star movie....typical 2.5 star kids movie-- but better than the 1 star reviews here. The title is misleading-- they should have stuck with the original "Doubting Thomas" working title, so perhaps the misleading title is the reason for the poor reviews.

For my family the movie was awesome as it was filmed at my kids' school, and neat to see their every day setting in a movie.

The Perfect Villain: John McCain and the Demonization of Lobbyist Jack Abramoff
$24.95
What I find amazing is how did this this reporter ever get Abramoff to talk to him without his own lawyers and the federal prosecutors knowing about it. It's nice to hear the other side of the story...so persuasively and carefully documented. I don't think I'll ever believe anything I read in the newspapers again without a huge dose of skepticism.
