Dax Shepard’s How-To-Guide: Getting Banned From a Talk Show

On DVD: The Outrageous, Spacey-Less Version of Casino Jack

As hot political documentaries go, Alex Gibney’s Casino Jack and the United States of Money (not to be confused with George Hickenlooper’s competitive, Kevin Spacey-starring Casino Jack ) is a lively, action-packed affair, chronicling the career of famed lobbyist Jack Abramoff from hot shot conservative shaker to D.C. megamind and profiteer to a Congressionally excoriated convict and poster boy for economic megalomania. Gibney, a prolific busybody who’s made films about Enron, war-on-terror torture practices and Hunter S. Thompson, keeps the movie light and zesty and evidentiary, and if you didn’t quite understand what Abramoff did when his name hit the headlines in 2006, here’s where you can get it all straight.
