And Now A Word From Our Sponsor I remember seeing Being There when I was in high school. I think that was one of the first times I began to understand television and advertising, and its effect on us. Now I work in communications and advertising and write in my spare time so when I got the chance to review this movie I jumped at it thinking it would be up my alley.

DVD Reviews: The East
The East It's funny where we get our film recommendations from.
