Then & Now 1: Mental Diagnosis Cinema

In attempting to write something for Huffington Post submission, I came up with an idea for a blog series. With "Then & Now", I'll look at two movies, one from my childhood and one recently released, loosely or tightly connected, that have affected me for better or worse. 

Thoughts? Suggestions? Please leave a comment.

Movie Review: "Good Kill"

"Drones aren't going anywhere. In fact, they're going everywhere."

At the heart of Good Kill is the above line of dialogue, said by an Air Force commander to newly stationed personnel, in a depressingly matter of fact manner. It's a lament for sure, but more in the vein of a Wal Mart manager who slightly disagrees with superior decisions, but goes along anyways for the sake of their career. We see this commander drink liquor at his desk - an act which may be more widespread in military bases than most would think. How the hell else do you get through this job?
