-- King Corn (2007): Sounds like a tasty breakfast cereal, doesn't it? But in fact, it's a documentary about two college buddies who "plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain [corn] on one acre of Iowa soil.

It was like stepping back into 1999, when the booze was free, the schwag was top-notch and geeks ruled the universe. more ›
