DC 9/11 - Time of Crisis
If you're looking for an unrepentantly flag-waving, pro-Bush depiction of  the President's actions in the wake of 9/11, look no further--DC 9/11:  Time of Crisiswill have any fan of Michael Moore reaching for an  airsickness bag. "Whoever did this isn't going to like me as president," intones Timothy Bottoms as George W. Bush, who never speaks with anything but firm resolve and terse machismo; this slick Showtime production even imagines heroic pillow talk between the President and the First Lady. Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney, and the rest of the administration are all portrayed as selfless and well-informed civil servants, and the movie subtly promotes the USA Patriot Act, increased military spending, and the policy of pre-emptive war.DC 9/11also mixes documentary footage of the 9/11 attacks and rescue efforts with fictional accounts of the  behind-closed-doors meetings, which will polarize any discussion of its  subject matter.--Bret Fetzer
