This type of work (full sleeves, full backs etc.) is the cutting edge of tattooing today and it is great that Ryan took the time to document it so nicely! We're starting his back soon....so maybe we'll be lucky enough to get a part 2!

I think it was a tad long - there just seemed to be some stuff that could have been left out, keeping the focus on the main plot.

This has to be one of the best movies of 2007. I'd give it 5 out of 5. I yearn for more movies like this one. Four out of five? This has to be one of the best movies of 2007. I’d give it 5 out of 5.

I think as good as documentary filmmaking gets. My opinion is that it was unfortunate that this movie was not recognized with the Oscar. The winner, An Inconvinient Truth, had so much visibility and high profile that it would have been very difficult for any other doc to win over it. On the merits of filmmaking though I think this is a much stronger film. It really is a very powerful movie. I think as good as documentary filmmaking gets.

It looks at the field campaigns in Ohio by both parties and the different approaches taken by them. The Democrats themselves speak of their disorganization in Ohio and how they didn't have a common goal along party lines, as the Republicans did.

I am not saying this in any way as a defense of the democratic party and am sure that the movie is accurate in portraying that the republicans may have stuck to message better, encouraged registered voters, etc. U.S. elections between only 2 parties which effectively share the same message are not won by 'campaining to the people'. They are won by corporate fundraising, avoiding discussions of serious issues, encouraging voter apathy, and the list goes on. Like I said haven't seen it and my points may be on a tangent but based on your review I am concerned.
