Evil Ash
Henchman Supreme
Sorry that this is so late, I had to take my last final for the semester early today. FREEDOM, FREEDOM!! 
Anyways here's my what seems to be my weekly edition of Movie-A-Day for movies that most people have not heard of (I'm guessing this because this only made $2 million at the Box Office).
Originally saw this in my journalism class (we watched one of the tapes that the reviewers watch) and absolutely loved it. Even though I know I would have a slight bias over other due to the plot revolving around my major, I think the majority of the people here would enjoy since it deals with a topic that almost all of us are familiar with ... office politics.
The cast is solid, although not filled with big names (Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Steve Zahn, Rosario Dawson), the directing was outstanding, and has one hell of a plot. In short I highly, highly recommend this to anybody for at least a rental ... for those of you who trust my taste in movies I suggest buying it.
Note: For those of you who know what Stephen Glass did please use spoiler tags because the movie builds up to that
SYNOPSIS from Rotten Tomatoes:
Shattered Glass stars Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass, a staff writer for the respected current events and policy magazine The New Republic and a freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Harper's and George. By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events - chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September, 1998 Vanity Fair article upon which "Shattered Glass" is based - suddenly stopped his career in its tracks. "Shattered Glass" is a study of a very talented - and at the same time very flawed - character. It is also a look inside our culture's noblest profession, one that protects our most precious freedoms by revealing the truth, and what happens when our trust in that profession is called into question.
"Shattered Glass" is jointly produced by Cruise / Wagner Productions and Baumgarten Merims in association with Forest Park Pictures. The film's executive producers are Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner of Cruise / Wagner as well as Lions Gate executives Michael Paseornek, Marc Butan and Tom Ortenberg. "Shattered Glass" is being produced by Craig Baumgarten, Adam Merims, Gaye Hirsch and Tove Christensen. A Lions Gate production, "Shattered Glass" will be distributed worldwide by the company in 2003.
