Peter Berg's intense, 2007 thriller is an unjustly overlooked entry into the terrorism film sub-genre. Being both a politically charged and action packed thriller, Berg creates a film that still holds relevance, even eight years after its release.
State of Play, the 2009 cinematic adaptation of the 2003 BBC One miniseries of the same name, is a film that has an ambitious, complex plot, some solid performances from it's cast, but in the end, stumbles over itself by trying to make a story built on shades of gray, into something more black and white, and therefore suffers.
In all honesty, I saw this short back when it first debuted on Disney+, having managed to regain access to one of my family member's accounts. And when I saw it...I was instantly blown away by how awesome it was! Everything about "Once Upon a Studio" was a truly beautiful way of celebrating Disney's 100th anniversary, and it was a genuinely touching tribute to Walt Disney himself as well. And to Burny Mattinson, considering he passed away before the short was released.
