Another month, another go for the Magic Lantern. Let’s hope it will stick this time around.

We had been hoping this movie would open in Spokane, and while showing it at a restaurant like Sante is all well and good, it’s definitely in everybody’s interest to have it shown in a theater.

And Food, Inc.? Not bad at all. Gross, definitely, and some of the more graphic scenes might be enough to turn some people into vegetarians. (Which, of course, at that point you get some reality lessons about soy beans.) For most of us, it will at least make us think twice about where to buy meat and what type of meat to buy.

The only criticism I can think of for the movie, really, is that it was very much centered around meat (and one segment about the soy bean) while stuff like dairy was barely mentioned. But, I suppose you can’t cover everything in one single movie.

As a whole, it is great to see the Magic Lantern kicking it again, and showing general interest documentaries like Food, Inc. The movie will show through Thursday (possibly longer, but that’s as far as the web site went) and should be checked out.
