Dear Friends, <br>
<br>
There's a movie called "Side Effects" going to be released in
September. In intellectual's attempts to communicate current trends,
practices, healthcare denial, and manipulations at state level, this is
a big step. This movie seems to be appealing to a wide audience and can
be used as a tool for discussions, for research, and to educate
patients in clinical setups. The only flaw is that its only in english.
<br>
<br>
The information about the movie came on one of the best e-lists on
drugs and pharmaceuticals called edruggers. below is the original
message.<br>
The trailer of the movie is available at...
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sideeffectsthemovie.com/trailers/">http://www.sideeffectsthemovie.com/trailers/</a> You will need a good
connection for this and otherwise be patient.<br>

<p><tt>E-DRUG: movie: "side effects"</tt><br>
<tt>----------------------------</tt><br>
<tt>[WB]</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>"Side Effects," the bitingly funny -- and enlightening -- film by
Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, who spent ten years in the Big Pharm
industry as a rep asks the question: Will the Truth about the Big Pharm
industry make you sick? Or Make You Laugh? Answer?? How about both??</tt><br>
<tt> </tt><br>
<tt>"Side Effects," starring Katherine Heigl (of the hit TV series
"Grey's Anatomy") will have its North American premiere on September 9,
premiering in Dallas, just down the road from Angleton, Texas -- home
of the landmark first award of $253 million, finding Merck liable for
the death of Robert C. Ernst. Other release cities include Boston, San
Francisco, Berkeley, Minneapolis, LA, NYC and other areas over the next
few months. </tt><br>
<tt> </tt><br>
<tt>Film Threat recently gave 4 stars to "Side Effects," saying:</tt><br>
<tt> </tt><br>
<tt>"Filmmaker Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau toiled for years as a
pharmaceutical rep herself and, like Karly, became disgusted with her
line of work, so she's made a film that attempts to rip the cover off
of the industry and reveal its slimy inner-workings ... with a healthy
dose of humor and romance, she does so with great effect."</tt><br>
<tt> </tt><br>
<tt>As well, the filmmakers are conducting a contest for consumers to
create their own drug commercial, with the first round of winners
having their work shown on the film's website -
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.sideeffectsthemovie.com">www.sideeffectsthemovie.com</a>. The final winner will have his/her
commercial included in the DVD release of "Side Effects."</tt><br>
<tt> </tt><br>
<tt>I would love to speak with you about scheduling Ms.
Slattery-Moschkau for an interview - please contact me to see what we
can arrange. In the meantime, I invite you to visit the "Side Effects"
website for other press updates. </tt><br>
