this is a predictable but still harrowing horror movie.  Definately a "we're not out of the woods yet" scenerio.  Henry Paulson and Ben bernanke are great as the clueless officials consigned with the impossible task of absorbing trillions of dollars of debt with about 50 billion in reserves. 


Maria Bartiromo and Dylan Ratigan who are regulars are CNBC really shine here as deer in the headlights without sleep reporters trying to comprehend their entire world , and preseumably their own savings, being wiped out before their eyes. 

        only a bout 1/4 of the way through but have a good idea how it's going to end

 


category: extreme gore,  but with a touch of absurdity a la "Lord Love a Duck"

My review of The Stock Market (2008):  Thumbdown.  My 401(k) was scared by this, but I yawned through it.  I think it's a pale imitation of the harrowing 1929 original, and a lot more much ado about nothing, like the now forgotten 1987 "remake".

Only thing is, all these Mr. T cannibal roaches... start hangin around the diner, wadin around in the chicken-fried steak, and one day they get REAL hungry and eat a German shepherd in about 15 seconds, and pretty soon we got giant mutant insects running for city council."-Joe Bob on THE NEST

I can never figure out why the reporters on the floor of the exchange have to yell all the time.  Guys broadcasting football games amongst thousands of screaming fans don't have to yell.  It's damned annoying.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
