	The Seattle Times: Movies: "Silver City" is tarnished, but Chris Cooper is sterling
		In "Silver City," Chris Cooper plays Dickie Pilager, the not-too-bright scion of an influential political family, who is running for governor.
		It's easy to see why John Sayles' "Silver City" is being hurried into theaters this season: It's a crowded tale of politics, set during the election season in Colorado, as a none-too-swift, grammatically impaired scion of an influential political family (named, with little subtlety, the Pilagers) runs for governor.
		"Silver City" is a blending of genres — the noirish detective tale and the political satire — but it's like oil and water; the two never quite converge.

	Silver City [2004] Shaking Through.net: Movies: Review
		John Sayles’ drama Silver City prefers an opposite tactic: It’s a rallying cry for the weary and defeated.
		The idea for Silver City came about during the making of Sunshine State; it's a product of Sayles’ bewilderment at how quickly people in Florida lost any sense of indignation at the bungled voting process of the 2000 presidential election and resigned themselves to idly falling back and accepting the end result.
		The big difference between Chinatown and Silver City is that the Watergate-era Chinatown was a ’30s period noir indirectly commenting on its present, whereas Silver City is an explicit observation in its moment.

	Transmetropolitan: Lonely City Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		This book is a reprint of the comics #25-30 and un unfortunate consequence of that is it starts rather disjointedly.
		Even so, what follows are the “Monstering” and “Lonely City” storylines, which almost completely redeems this collection from the false start of the prior 2 stories.
		I’ve never seen a city of the future but I can’t help but suspect that this is what it will look like.

	Up From Genre City: Comics
		There are singular moments in comics, moments where the very last thing you'd ever expect happens and every time you think about comics from that day forth, part of you will be thinking about that moment.
		The comic book medium as we know it would simply not exist without his influence, of course, but the most startling thing about his legacy is its basis in his unflaggingly giving and charitable spirit.
		Those of you who don't rabidly buy comics every week may not be familiar with this arcane concept, in which the buyer takes all his or occasionally her new comics and puts them in a pile in the order in which he or occasionally she wants to read them.

	JS Online: Sayles' political 'Silver City' shows less polish than some of his best
		The gold rush to judgment in "Silver City" tends to deflate its currency.
		"Silver City" could be a director's cut rerelease of any of Sayles' films with additional footage added.
		Cooper's candidate is a bland oaf who would be benign if he wasn't so easy to manipulate by others; his malapropisms when he steps off script are a welcome bit of comic relief in a movie that is hobbled by earnestness.

	John Sayles: Box office to ballot box
		"Silver City," which had its premiere last weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival and opens in metro Detroit and other major markets Friday, is about a great number of things, none of which could be dismissed as insignificant.
		That would be difficult in any event when one of "Silver City's" primary characters is a Republican gubernatorial candidate whose wealthy father was a national politician, whose campaign brain bears a decided resemblance to Dick Cheney and who has never met a sentence he couldn't mangle.
		Sayles admits "Silver City" is more pointed than most of his other socially minded dramas, including last year's "Casa de los Babys," which looked at Americans adopting foreign-born babies, and 2002's "Sunshine State," which was doggedly fair-minded about Florida development.

	‘Silver City’ has something to say - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
		Chris Cooper plays Colorado gubernatorial candidate Dicky Pilager, the son of a successful senator, who can’t seem to put a sentence together when he veers away from a carefully constructed script.
		A scene in which plans for Silver City – a planned community to be built on the site of an abandoned mining town – are discussed left me a bit dazed by the details.
		But if you can stay with the film through these moments, you’ll be aptly rewarded by great performances and a filmmaker who’s not afraid to wear his message on his sleeve.

		From the moment of their inception, in the 1930s, super-hero comics had been published serially, but it was only in the 1960s, at Marvel, that the texts began to reflect an awareness of this formal “seriality”.

	Arrowsmith/Astro City Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		The Arrowsmith story looks in on the headquarters where the magic spell that are used on the battlefields are created, and the continual rush for new, more destructive spells is starting to weigh on the head wizard, as the failure rate of the new spells continues to increase.
		The Astro City story looks in on a pair of young children who are on hand to witness an early battle of the Honor Guard, but they are more impressed by a meeting with the Black Badger, who looks to be one of the first minority heroes in Astro City.
		Now this is a fun look at the Silver Age of Astro City as one has to love the over the top quality of the battle, and there's also a great little moment where the young kids have a closer encounter with a hero that they can more readily identify with.

		The stories are gruesome--mass executions at the university, corpses torn apart in the street by feral dogs, the legless torso of a man lying in a gutter, his face staring wide-eyed at passersby too terrified to move or bury him.
		Meanwhile, on the horizon east of the city, three huge pillars of fl smoke rise into the thin blue sky, marsh fires erupting on the Iranian side of the Shatt-al-Arab.

	Salon.com Arts & Entertainment \| Sneak peek: "Silver City"
		Dickie Pilager is a born-again, grammatically challenged, corporate sop who loves to invoke fear with references to "wrongdoers." Yes, he's running for governor in Colorado, not Texas, and his father is a former senator, not president.
		But you don't have to be a genius to figure out that Pilager, played by Chris Cooper in John Sayles' upcoming "Silver City," is a satirical turn on you-know-who.
		This latest entrant in the year of the political film is being hailed in early reviews as "something rare among the dozens of politically themed works on screen and on stage: a Bush-bashing work that is more than Bush-bashing" (New York Times).

		As much as one may want to like John Sayles - for his politics, his conscience, his devotion to independent film, his lack of artifice - he makes it awfully hard.
		"Silver City," another Saylesian parade of aggrieved Americans confronting entrenched corruption, is hampered by the same antidramatic impulses that marred 2002's "Sunshine State" - and, to an even greater degree, the anti-adoption screed "Casa de los Babys" (2003).
		Sayles, who has made a considerable income fixing other people's scripts, can't resist the impulse to make every one of his characters a mouthpiece for his political views.
