Product Description Review 'In Hoodwinked: Watching Movies With Eyes Wide Open, one of America's foremost alternative media analysts, Uri Dowbenko, deftly deconstructs popular and influential movies ranging from 'The Matrix,' to 'Fight Club' to 'The Truman Show,' to 'Wag the Dog', and so many others.

Thoughtful and thought provoking, Dowbenko's commentaries are rife with a humorous intelligence and attention-gripping iconoclasm that makes Hoodwinked 'must' reading for students and critics of American cinema.' --Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI, USA) 'All movies pack a hidden message, and nobody on the planet can decipher and quantify this subliminal jabber better than conspiracy genius Uri Dowbenko. 'Hoodwinked' is a nonstop disturbo thrill ride of cinema insights and savage critical vision. Dowbenko is an excavator of buried revelations... Enlightening, hysterical and - unlikeliest of all - sanctified by truth.' --Jerry Stahl, Author of 'Permanent Midnight' 'Hoodwinked is fantastic. Dowbenko's intelligent and humorous insights put Roger Ebert to shame. The book gave me a new pair of 3-D lenses to view and uinderstand the subtext and real meaning behind many of today's movies.' --Brian Hall, Executive Producer, Conspiracy Con About the Author URI DOWBENKO is one of Alternative Media'â™s foremost writers and media analysts and the author of Bushwhacked: Inside Stories of True Conspiracy.

A. Fitts - In 1998, in the hopes of staying alive, I went on a reading binge to try to understand the political economy and the devastation it was wrecking on the real economy -- including my company and me. I read about 1,000 books in a three year period, consuming many more articles and lots of cassettes and videos. By 2000, I figured out that distilling things down to the "best of" was what a lot of my friends and family needed. Finally, I realized that most of what I had learned could be accessed quickly by simply watching movies. The truth was lying in wait down at the local video store for anyone who wanted it. As things turned out, my favorite movie reviewer turned out to be Uri Dowbenko, a writer, artist and publicist par excellence who lives in Montana with his beautiful family in a home right out of a scene from "A River Runs Through It" -- which was indeed filmed nearby. Uri had a successful career in LA, saw the writing on the wall and moved outside the political economy. After sweeping up his stories on corruption and crime in high places, "Bushwhacked: Inside Stories of True Conspiracy," Uri has published a collection of his movie reviews published over the years on the Internet. It's called "Hoodwinked: Watching Movies with Eyes Wide Open." Uri's biting movie reviews always illuminate "the real deal" on a movie and how a particular movie tells you the truth that you will never hear on network news. Warning -- these are not for the faint of heart or folks who think we can fix things in the next election. Uri's reviews cover numerous movies that Solari recommends to investment strategy and risk management clients who are far too busy hanging out with their lovely families or running useful businesses to read 1,000 books -- including, Enemy of the State, Anti-Trust, Eyes Wide Shut, Swordfish, Conspiracy Theory, Bulworth and Wag the Dog. For those who want a highly opinionated, highly entertaining "real deal" movie guide, you can buy copies of "Hoodwinked" at all the usual places or call Uri at Liberty Press toll free at 1-866-317.1390.
