Fracking movie “Promised Land” is a gusher
After I saw Matt Damon and John Krasinski’s new fracking drama Promised Land, I couldn’t help but compare it to the slew of trite pieces trotted out during the previews.

“Promised Land”: Energy and ethics in the age of economic decline
The Gus Van Sant movie “Promised Land” written by Matt Damon and John Krasinski was recently panned by one reviewer who used “Promised Bland,” to describe her reaction to it. While it is true that this film does not offer an impassioned feud between the good guys and the bad guys by portraying the evil energy company pitted against the innocent, hard-working, salt of the earth town folk, “Promised Land’s” substance lies in the character of one man, Steve Butler, sales executive for Global Corporation, played by Matt Damon.
