A number of people who’ve already seen it are recommending everyone see Al Gore’s new documentary An Inconvenient Truth. It’s currently playing at: Century 12 and CineArts 6, Landmark’s Century Centre, Renaissance Place, River East 21.
See the long review from J.R. Jones at the Reader.

Al Gore did a very smooth presentation on all the new ” facts of life”. If we as a nation don’t change our ways, the effect on us could be huge. If the us auto makers don’t make for more environmentally friendly, more long-term economical cars, then that whole business could be kaput. THat’s not so smart.
I liked The Inconvient Truth- it told the truth, and added a few laughs, and a few ways for us to appreciate what the smallest amount of change of lifestyle will do.
I enjoyed how the film showed a more personal, more personable side to Al Gore. They helped ground a lot of the points he made (and has been making for a long while) away from his old policy-wonkish image. Seeing him walk through the metal detectors at the airport like any other Joe was a nice touch. The video presentation helped illustrate things hundreds and thousands of words can only melodramatize and underclarify.
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, take a friend. If you have, tell a friend.
