Based on your political bent, "Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story," a head-on analysis of the scrappy, blues-playing young Southerner who helped remake the Republican Party, will evoke blood-spitting rage or resounding awe. Either way, it's a hugely entertaining, efficiently crafted documentary about a ruthless, if undeniably clever American political force. (Gary Goldstein, Oct. 3) (1:26) Unrated.

Terrific film. Explains how Republicans learned to run no-holds-barred battles as Democrats continued running mere campaigns. Great soundtrack, too.
