3 new movies worth watching.

I'm not going to lie, I rarely to never make it ot the movie theatre. But I will be going to these 3:

***"Lemon Tree" - Israeli defense minster moves in next to a Palestinian widow an her lemon trees, many of you can predict where this is gong already, Israel says they must cut down the trees for security purposes, woman takes it to court, loses, then to Israeli supreme court...it is clear from the clip that at some point the Israeli defense minister's wife is going to intervene and empathizes with the widow... (If you are in DC, it is playing at E St theatre, opened last Friday.)
Here is a review in Haaretz.
Watch a clip here.

"Rachel" - documentary about Rachel Corrie, the American killed by an Israeli bulldozer
Here is a review on Salon which includes an interview with the highly acclaimed Moroccan, Israeli, French filmmaker Simone Bitton. (He also is known for "Wall" on, you guessed it, the erection of the wall separating Israel (and a lot of Palestinian land) from Palestinian West Bank.)

"Outrage" - on closeted congress members who vote against gay rights legislation.
