DVD Reviews: One Documentary, Two Dramas


Capitalism: A Love Story

The latest political documentary from Michael Moore examines the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). The film moves from middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial capital of Manhattan. Although ultimately not as strong as Moore’s past triumphs (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11), the filmmaker still excels at telling an important story with both humor and outrage. And before you attack Moore for being a liberal, I think you may be surprised that he challenges both Republicans AND Democrats here. This balanced view caught me by surprise — and reminds us that Americans need to ease the bi-partisanship and focus on what’s best for the country overall. Read More
