I’ve been on a documentary kick, I suppose . . .
Directed by Chris Paine. I watched this some time ago, but it seems all the more relevant now that the US car manufacturers are trying to get some of that good bailout money. It’s not hydrogen, but it’ll do for now.
Directed by Morgan Spurlock. I loved Super Size Me and watch 30 Days regularly. So I knew I was going to see this, but was a little wary of what exactly this film would entail. But I saw it and really enjoyed it.
Directed by Michael Moore. Okay, so I get it. Michael Moore’s the devil, or a genius, or loved, or hated. Everything except anywhere in between. Except that he makes movies, and so I take him one movie at a time and judge each as such: a stand alone film. I thought Bowling for Columbine raised interesting questions and made some good points but lost itself in emotional arguments that were superfluous to the films point. I didn’t like Fahrenheit 9/11 at all. Probably shouldn’t have watched it while deployed to Baghdad, but since his production company mailed copies of it and his book to deployed troops, I thought, ‘what the hell,’ but regardless I didn’t like it. New movie, new consideration. I like Sicko, a lot. He asks interesting questions that are very timely given the platform that our president-elect ran and won on. Also, it’s hard to become a UK citizen, but I wouldn’t know that had I not tried to move there ten minutes after seeing this.
