Informant on DVD

The Informant: I truly believe this to be Matt Damon's best performance to date. He plays Mark Whitacre an employee for Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) that goes undercover to expose his company's illegal price-fixing. From there the story makes a right turn and goes in a direction I did not see coming. If this was not based on a true story, I would actually find the premise a bit too unreal. Damon's acting is the anchor of the story. With it comes humor, but also a slow understanding of what the real Mark Whitacre might have been thinking in this odd....but entertaining story!

September Issue on DVD

The September Issue: A documentary about the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine: Anna Wintour. Wintour is thought to be the inspiration behind Meryl Strep's character (Miranda Priestly) in 2006's The Devil Wears Prada. The film does a fine job of expressing both Wintour's influence on fashion and her intimidation in the office. However the movie failed to give me the behind the scenes information that I would have liked. Such as how much money is spent on putting the September Issue together or who comes up with themes of the photo shoots. I feel the movie focuses too much on Wintour and not enough on the magazine. The result is medicore at best.
