...awed outrage. (?Was it all a dream?? asks ?Fahrenheit.? ?How did this happen?? demands ?Bush?s Brain.?) They attempted to demolish the opposition?s arguments and actions with news clips and expert rebuttal. To prove this isn?t just partisan nit-picking but a matter of mortal consequence, the anti-Bush films went simultaneously for the heart and the throat, depicting the casualties of war: interviews with the families of U.S. soldiers - or, in the case of ?Control Room,? Iraqi civilians - killed during the invasion and occupation. (Taking a cue from the enemy, ?Fahrenhype? also had interviews with soldiers back...
...election, on amazon.com?s best-seller list, ?Fahrenheit? was 9th, and ?Control Room,? ?Outfoxed? and ?Uncovered? were all in the top 100. Long before ?Uncovered? played in movie houses, a shorter version of the film sold more than 100,000 units through moveon.org. The website, a prime galvanizer of anti-Bush fulmination and fund-raising, has helped peddle other documentaries. It became a new kind of independent film distribution network: movieson.org...

Plays like Guantánamo: 'Honor Bound to Defend Freedom'--another British import, about the treatment of detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba--have built compelling drama out of real-life interviews and transcripts, while such anti-Bush works as Sam Shepard's new The God of Hell, a caustic parable about a nefarious government agent terrorizing a Wisconsin farm couple, give off the sparks of real political anger.

...awfully quickly. Goldberg's new show is an update of her 1984 Broadway collection of character sketches that launched her career, with a couple of new voices mixed in. But the thing seems slapped together without any dramatic shape or reason, other than to let Goldberg get off some anti-Bush zingers (put in the mouth, unconvincingly, of her drugged-out street-hustler character Fontaine). Ensler has done a much better job of shaping The Good Body. But that critique of America's obsession with thinness, based on her interviews with women dissatisfied with their bodies, seems a pale follow...
...ponder what direction their party should take in the wake of yet another presidential defeat, the choice of a new chairman of the Democratic National Committee could be the skirmish that reveals whether the party will try to resurrect itself by turning to the center or by stoking the anti-Bush anger of its left. Two leading contenders are emerging. Howard Dean is being urged to run by liberal activists convinced he is the best chance for channeling the base's ire into a national message. But the more centrist group believes that Dean is the last person the party...
