Friday Night At the Meaningful Movies presents: "BUSH’S BRAIN"
“Bush's Brain”: (80 min, Michael Paradies Shoob, Joseph Mealey, 2004). Karl Rove - ”Mini-Me Bush”? Based on the best-selling book by journalists James Moore and Wayne Slater, the documentary follows the political career of George W. Bush's key advisor and electoral
stategist Karl Rove, AKA “Bush's Brain”, the man who wrapped Bush in "compassionate conservatism". Bush's Brain depicts Rove as a savvy, rational planner who isn't satisfied with merely defeating opposing candidates -- he hopes to absolutely destroy them. This chilling film details Rove’s immoral, unethical, scurrilous "win at all costs" tactics. "Bush's Brain" is an essential DVD for those who want to know what makes the deceitful "image
machine" behind Bush tick.

Friday Night At the Meeaningful Movies: "WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception"
"WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception" (86 min, Danny Schechter, 2004) There were two wars going on in Iraq - one was fought with armies of soldiers, bombs and a fearsome military force. The other was fought alongside it with cameras, satellites, armies of journalists and propaganda techniques. One war was rationalized as an effort to find and disarm WMDs - Weapons of Mass Destruction; the other was carried out by even more powerful WMDs, Weapons of Mass Deception. In the film “WMD”, award-winning independent investigative journalist and filmmaker Danny Schechter looks at the television war and addresses how the Pentagon helped shape media coverage and why the American audience lapped it up.
