An urgent film about today’s health care crisis
So important that it’s screening twice, “Money-Driven Medicine,” a new documentary produced by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney (“Taxi to the Dark Side”) and based on Maggie Mahar’s book, presents “a comprehensive analysis of the systemic causes of America’s high medical costs and poor quality of care.”
It plays at 10 a.m. at the Texas Capitol Auditorium and at 7 p.m. at the Millennium Youth Center Complex on Dec. 2. Both shows are free and followed by a discussion with Consumers Union and the Center for Public Policy Priorities.
More on the movie and its trailer HERE.

Harry Knowles’ early rave of ‘The Lovely Bones’
We heard it first at New York Mag’s snarky Vulture meme, but, anyway, the news is out: Austin’s Harry Knowles loves Peter Jackson’s much-awaited adaptation of the smash novel “The Lovely Bones.” Note: Knowles has been close buds with Jackson ever since the “Lord of the Rings” days.
Vulture, always nimble with attitude, reports it thusly HERE.
Read Harry’s rave at Ain’t-It-Cool-News, under the headline “Harry says that LOVELY BONES is a lovely brutal film!,” HERE.
