Dick Pic

I try not to read reviews of movies I haven't seen but critiques of Vice — the new film about Dick Cheney — are somehow unavoidable. They make me think that the filmmakers made two completely different motion pictures under that name and released them simultaneously.

One is a brilliant, satirical slam at an evil Vice-President and his inhumanity and war profiteering. The other is a stupid, noxious look at our government that almost makes you feel sorry for that guy who left office with an approval rating of 13%. That's two points below projectile vomiting. Those of the former opinion think it deserves every Oscar in the book. Those of the latter want its makers banned from ever making another movie.

I just received a screener DVD. I can't wait to see which version I got.
