Great MUST SEE film - FUEL playing in Los Angeles

[Emillereid]

How well this film does in Los Angeles will determine how widely it gets distributed - it is an absolutely superb film. The filmmakers are giving copies to Congress members and even got a copy into Michelle Obama's hands.

Dear Friends,
Please go & see FUEL while it is playing in Los Angeles. I have seen this movie. I cannot give it a higher recommendation!
FUEL is such an important film in so many ways. It is also very entertaining. It gives us hope for the future of the human race.
I will be hosting a screening at 1:00 PM this Sunday, Feb. 15th at the AMC Loews Broadway at the Santa Monica Promenade.
Filmmaker, director & narrator, Josh Tickell, will be at this screening. He is hoping that our Los Angeles activist community will come and support the film. Bring your banners, signs and wear your activist shirts to the theater.

MOVIE REVIEWS

LA TIMES SAYS: "FUEL IS A VITAL SUPURBLY ASSEMBLED DOCUMENTARY...AN IMPRESSIVELY COMPREHENSIVE FILM"

'Fuel' to the fire of oil addiction

"Fuel" is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America's troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country's -- and the world's -- addictive dependence on fossil fuels.

The film's structure is built around director-narrator Josh Tickell's personal journey of enlightenment, which started in childhood after moving with his family from idyllic Australia to murkier Louisiana, where he came to realize the oil-rich environment was being ravaged by the omnipotent petrochemical industry. Later, as a young adult, he spent 11 years crossing the country in his vegetable oil-powered "Veggie Van," promoting biofuels and compiling footage for what would become this impressively comprehensive film.

The events of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina factor in both visually and thematically, providing provocative anchors for the movie's indictment of what Tickell believes is the Big Oil-cozy, ecologically indifferent Bush administration. Johnny O'Hara's WGA Award-nominated script doesn't dwell on muckraking, however; it's more focused on broadly inspiring viewers than preaching to the converted.

Interviews with a wide range of environmentalists, policy makers and educators, along with such "green" celebrities as Woody Harrelson, Sheryl Crow and Larry Hagman offer serious fuel for thought -- as well as for action. Smartly animated interstitials, memorable archival material and a lively soundtrack round out the fast-paced proceedings.

-- Gary Goldstein "Fuel." MPAA rating: unrated. Running time: 1 hour, 51 minutes. At Laemmle's Sunset 5, 8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, [phone]; AMC's Loews Broadway 4, 1441 Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica. [phone].
