I saw Michael Moore’s Sicko, today. Another one of those movies that had me either laughing or crying (literally). It’s amazing what we put up with as so called health care, and the path to who’s to blame is clear and straight.
This is a must see movie for anyone who plans on voting in 2008. It’s time the politicians were asked serious, open ended questions… both on the right and left. As the movie says if we can spend trillions for war, then there is money for health care.
I didn’t see Sicko on Saturday, but hopefully I’ll get a chance to see it today. It has gotten good reviews.
According to Michael Moore, his new movie, Sicko got rave reviews in Cannes.
The 2,000 people inside the Lumiere Theater were alternately in tears and laughing during the two-hour film — and when it was over, they gave it a standing ovation that seemed to go on for nearly 15 minutes! Many came up to me and said (and critics seem to agree) that this is my best film yet. I don’t know about that, and it seems weird to compare any of these movies in the first place. But I do feel safe in saying that I am very, very happy with this film and I can’t wait to show it to you when it opens on June 29th.
If what Moore reports is even half true, I can’t wait to see it.
It never ceases to amaze me that such a petty administration can continually show its childishness despite all the serious/real issues confronting our nation.
LOS ANGELES, May 10 — Michael Moore, the provocative filmmaker who has made a career out of skewering automakers, gun enthusiasts and the Bush administration, is being investigated by the Treasury Department over a trip he made to Cuba for his new film, “Sicko.”
This month the department sent a letter to Mr. Moore saying it was investigating whether he had violated restrictions on travel to Cuba when he accompanied sick workers seeking free medical care as part of a documentary on America’s health care industry.

Michael Moore responds with an open letter to the Treasury Department.
I’ve seen a few movies since I received the copy of The Devil Wears Prada. I have not lost my favorable opinion of Meryl Streep’s performance. She is wonderful. In what could easily be a cartoonish performance is revealed, instead, as a performance of grace and subtlety. I’m not as impressed with the rest of the cast though. Not because anyone acts poorly, but more because Streep is so good.
My opinion? See the movie and tell me why Meryl Streep should not at least be nominated for an academy award.
I do wish the ringtones worked with my cell… Do they work at all?
I recently recived an email from someone who had read my terse response to a movie I really enjoyed, The Devil Wears Prada, back a while ago (July as a matter of fact). This person has offered to send me a copy of the movie and asked that I review the whole shabang. Though every part of my internet caution bells are ringing, I decided to give a try.
I’ll let you know what happens,… meanwhile at least I have something to write about. Lord knows, I can’t talk about the Giants.
A very enjoyable movie. By the time you get to the end of this movie about a totally dysfunctional family, you really care about them which makes the ending hilarious. Really,… there were tears of laughter rolling down my face.
See it.
The Devil Wears Prada.
She should get an Oscar nomination for this one.
Meanwhile:
Superman Returns
Fun, but forgetable.
Last week I was fortunate enough to see this movie again. What a great movie. I wonder if anyone in the bush administration has seen it.
Mission Impossible III. What can I say about it? I saw it yesterday (yawn!!!). Lots of things blowing up, people being shot, breathtaking stunts, Tom Cruise running… I don’t know,… it just didn’t work for me. It’s a good “let me forget about my life for two hours and six minutes” movie, and the opening scene is one of the best I have ever seen. Too bad the rest of the movie doesn’t have the suspense/tension promised in that scene.
If you have to see it, I don’t blame you. It seems like it should really be good judging by the trailers,… and the music is.
Maybe I’m just a “Bourne” fan.
