14. Game Change

14. Game Change
Rated: R
Released: 2012
Starring: Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Ed Harris
Format Watched in: HBO

Once upon a time Sarah Palin was a Vice Presidential candidate.  Remember that guys?  Remember how crazy all of that was?  Well the people at HBO sure remember that.  HBO has always made great movies, and this one is no exception.  Moore is amazing as Palin, I would almost go as far as to say she's even more enjoyable in that role than Tina Fey was on SNL.  They manage to blend real archival footage from the campaign trail.  Ed Harris was pretty enjoyable as McCain as well.  There are some people who might think of this as being very anti-republican, and really it does seem to paint them as desperate for a move that could possibly help them compete with Obama.  All in all it's a pretty great movie that made me feel sorry for the Republicans and Palin because of just how in over their heads they were in that election.

Rating: B+
