Can the "Yes Men" and Michael Moore Fix Capitalism?
6 November 2009 2:40 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
With billions of taxpayer dollars propping up the largest financial institutions amid news stories about record bonuses on Wall Street and forecasts for a "jobless recovery" at best, there are a lot of good reasons to doubt the core promises of the capitalist system these days. Populist anger abounds and two movies in theaters now are helping bring the evils of capitalism into focus; The Yes Men Fix The World by the "Yes Men," (opening in Los Angeles this weekend) and Michael Moore's Capitalism, A Love Story. Perhaps you haven't seen Michael Moore's latest film about capitalism because you've seen some of Moore's other works -- Roger and Me about the demise of Gm's auto plants in Flint Michigan, Fahrenheit 911 about September 11, 2001 and the buildup to the Iraq War, Bowling for Columbine about gun violence and... »

TV Review: Showtime’s ‘Lock ‘N Load’ Wastes Opportunity
21 October 2009 10:21 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The new reality series “Lock ‘N Load,” debuting tonight, October 21st, 2009, on Showtime, is a completely wasted opportunity to add something unique and interesting to the debate over gun control. Completely leaving political or personal viewpoints on controversial weapons issues out of my opinion, the show simply isn’t interesting or entertaining.
Television Rating: 1.0/5.0
“Lock ‘N Load” stars Josh T. Ryan, an actor who has been paying the rent by working at a Denver area gun store called “The Shootist”. He’s billing himself as a “gunslinger,” a man who sells guns to average Americans, but he’s really just an out-of-work actor trying to make TV gold out of his customers, who are being taped on hidden cameras set up around the store. In today’s reality TV world, everyone gets their fifteen minutes of fame, whether they ask for it or not.

Box Office Goes To Zombieland
5 October 2009 2:25 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The undead hordes swept the box office in the Us this weekend, with rom-zom-com Zombieland marching straight to the top with a pretty respectable $25 million opening weekend. In its wake was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, falling off the top after two weeks, and the re-released double-bill of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D in third. The moral of this story? If you're not in 3D, you better have zombies.The Invention of Lying came in fourth with $7.35m, which was better than Gervais' Ghost Town but down on similar 'what if' comedies like Liar Liar. Surrogates followed, with a 50% drop on last week, and then was Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, which expanded to wide release but still made only $4.85m, less even than Sicko nevermind Fahrenheit 9/11 or Bowling for Columbine.New release Whip It!, about a girl rollerskating team, followed that with a »

Oct 03, 2009
Michael Moore’s has always taken on some pretty meaty social issues in his films. He started with an exploration of the vanishing American middle class in Roger & Me, continued with a rather rudimentary look at evil of corporate America in The Big One, seemed to hit his creative stride with the superb indictment of America’s affinity for firearms – Bowling for Columbine, then called for action against the Bush administration’s questionable practices in Fahrenheit 9/11, until finally trying to dissect and reinvent American health care with ...Read more at MovieRetriever.com »
Capitalism: A Love Story
2 October 2009 8:24 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Michael Moore
Cast: Michael Moore, Wallace Shawn
Running Time: 2 hrs 5 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: October, 2 2009
Plot: This documentary tackles capitalism in America and how we’ve gone from the American dream to corporate dominance.
Who’S It For? Moore lovers, though I would say I was close to that group beforehand. Anyone that needs to wake up and pay attention to the struggles that the majority of the middle and lower class are going through … unfortunately they probably won’t be willing to see this film. I actually can’t recall why this film would be rated R. Maybe it was language.
Expectations: I have read one Moore book, and I’ve happily gobbled up his previous documentaries. I really liked Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 … I loved Sicko. Moore tackling the economy is something I (and many Americans) was ready for.

Michael Moore in Capitalism: A Love Story
Photo: Overture Films / Paramount Vantage I was telling a friend the hardest thing about reviewing a Michael Moore documentary is that I agree with so much of what he says, if not everything. As a result I find myself nodding my head at all the right moments and throwing my hands up in disgust at equally affecting turns. Does this mean he's fashioned a film of quality or just one that appeals to my sensibilities? To me that's a hard question to answer, especially considering we are talking about serious societal issues when it comes to Moore's docs.
As far as Capitalism: A Love Story is concerned I look at it as a return to the likes of Roger and Me and Bowling for Columbine, and this is without a doubt in my mind the unofficial sequel to Roger and Me simply on a much grander scope. »

Another Cool Poster for Michael Moore's 'Capitalism'
30 September 2009 9:58 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Michael Moore is real hit-and-miss with me. I've only liked three of his films, Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Sicko, and in general, I find that his personality annoys me a great deal. He would no doubt say the same thing about me.
But when he's on his game, he is the one of the best documentarians going, in part because of that personality. He makes first person documentaries, as opposed to the off-camera style of Errol Morris or just about every other practitioner of what we call non-fiction film, even though such a thing is virtually impossible to achieve.
His latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, opens in most of America this weekend. Moore tries to get to the bottom of the current financial crisis in order to show us what he believes is the best way out. We really liked the first poster, a mustard yellow throwback, »

Biggest Doc Ever?
28 September 2009 4:20 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Jose here with some box office news. Reuters is reporting that Michael Jackson's This Is It has broken advance ticket records all over the world.
The documentary/concert film spans the rehearsals of Jackson's eponymous "comeback" that would've taken place in London before the entertainer's sudden death.
In cities like Los Angeles and New York, fans waited outside in line for days before the tickets went on sale yesterday morning. In Tokyo, the film sold $1 million in advance tickets. With the undying passion of Jackson fans could this eventually become the highest grossing documentary of all time? This genre hasn't been particularly lucky in the money making department.
The highest grossing documentaries stand as follows:
1. Fahrenheit 9/11 (Michael Moore) $119,194,771
2. March of the Penguins $77,437,223
3. Earth $32,011,576
4. Sicko (Michael Moore) $24,540,079
5. An Inconvenient Truth $24,146,161
6. Bowling for Columbine (Michael Moore) $21,576,018
7. Madonna: Truth or Dare $15,012,935
8. Religulous $13,011,160
9. Winged Migration $11,689,053
10. Super Size Me $11,536,423

Michael Moore's influence is undeniable. But is he helping his causes — or his enemies?
26 September 2009 9:52 AM, PDT | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Whatever you think of Michael Moore -- whether you love him, hate him, or (like me) believe that he's an ingeniously captivating big-picture muckraker who can truly be great when he sticks to reality (which he often does), but is anything but great when he proves overly willing to bend it -- few would deny that he's the most prominent, incendiary, and headline-grabbing, the most influential feature documentary filmmaker of our time. (I would say that the other pre-eminent nonfiction Big Cheese is Ken Burns, who works on PBS in what is by now almost a form of his own. »

Michael Moore Administers "Capitalism" Punishment
25 September 2009 8:24 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
It's been 20 years since Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore -- then just a regular working-class Joe from Flint, Mi -- effectively and literally changed the face of documentaries today with his masterful debut, "Roger and Me." Armed with a camera, a microphone and a liberal agenda to confront the greedy capitalist swine responsible for devastating the auto industry workforce in his hometown, Moore went from being the little guy to the most well-known personality in nonfiction cinema today. He entertainingly set his aims on the firearms debate in "Bowling for Columbine," won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for taking George W. Bush to task in "Fahrenheit 9/11" and sought a cure for the horrors of the health care biz in "Sicko."
Though his man-and-bullhorn techniques haven't changed drastically in his latest bit of muckraking, "Capitalism: A Love Story," Moore moved quicker than ever to expose a subject that's hurting every American: the economic crisis. »

Review: I have some issues with Michael Moore. For the most part, I agree with him politically- but I find his tactics questionable.

When Moore is Less
23 September 2009 7:13 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
In "Capitalism: A Love Story," Michael Moore takes on his biggest target yet, and his most elusive. Buttonholing reluctant CEOs is one thing; pinning down an abstract principle quite another. With "Bowling for Columbine" and "Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore's seventh documentary completes a loosely affiliated conspiracy trilogy whose films rely on emotional logic and rhetorical sleight of hand to fuse superficially unrelated incidents into evidence of larger, more alarming social currents.
Arriving just as the economy is showing a flicker of life, Moore's movie risks lagging behind the times. Much of the evidence he offers to support his contention that the lust for profit is wildly out of control has been widely reported already, like the case of two Pennsylvania judges who funneled undeserving juvenile offenders into a private treatment facility while taking kickbacks from its owners.
Other assertions Moore makes stand up only in the heat of the moment. Drawing an »

Theatrical Trailer: Capitalism: A Love Story
22 September 2009 11:28 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, Bowling for Columbine) is back with another political agenda and this time it's the banks stealing money from the Us citizens in the form of 'Capitalism: A Love Story'. This trailer was released on Yahoo (where you can see the HD version). Rather than me try and explain the finer details of the story, I'll let the synopsis do the talking.... It's out in the Us 2nd October. No UK release date as yet. Trailer is after the jump.
Synopsis: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Michael Moore takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, »
Moore Celebrates 'Capitalism' Premiere ... at Capitalism-Fueled Penthouse

By Dylan Stableford
A funny thing happened last night in New York.
Michael Moore’s latest movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” had its premiere at Lincoln Center. By most accounts, the film -- like “Bowling for Columbine” and “Fahrenheit 911” -- is destined to be another firestarter.
At the screening, Moore reiterated some of the things he said last week in Toronto, including his assertion that newspapers are essentially “slitting their own throats.”

So, this week on top of seeing Jennifer's Body, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which I already reviewed right here, I didn't exactly watch an overwhelming amount of movies at home. As a matter of fact, it boils down to the following three movies and one TV show. As always, remember you can keep tabs on my personal Netflix queue right here. Now, here's the recap of my week in movies... Iron Monkey (1993) Quick Thoughts: In my weekly DVD and Blu-ray column I mentioned I was going to try and take in all four of the martial arts films in Buena Vista's "The Ultimate Force Four" Blu-ray pack, but I only ended up watching all of Iron Monkey and then the first half of Jackie Chan's The Legend of Drunken Master before I just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

Michael Moore screens 'Capitalism' in Mich. town
19 September 2009 2:44 PM, PDT | Filmicafe | See recent Filmicafe news »
Filmmaker Michael Moore gave residents of his adopted Michigan community an early showing of his new documentary on Saturday and urged them to help overthrow an economic system he said was beyond redemption.More than 500 people crowded into a theater in Bellaire to see "Capitalism: A Love Story," a film based on the premise that greed and corruption have subverted U.S. democracy."I know what's in front of me these next weeks and months," Moore told one audience, anticipating withering criticism from conservative politicians and commentators, then added with a laugh: "That's why I wanted to watch this with you guys before I'm thrown to the lions."Moore keeps a lakeside home near Bellaire, a rural village about 240 miles northwest of Detroit in Michigan's northwestern Lower Peninsula, and produced the film in a nearby town.

Toronto Mini: 'Capitalism: A Love Story' a mild return to form for Moore

I've had my issues with the last handful of Michael Moore movies. For me, his best work was "TV Nation" and "The Awful Truth," advocacy and entertainment that worked perfectly as both. There are moments from those shows that I haven't seen since they first aired that I remember perfectly even now. Michael Moore unabashedly deals in agitprop, and at his best, he knows how to infuriate you for the right reasons. Over his last few films, though, starting for me with "Bowling For Columbine," Michael Moore has become the focus of the films, and that's been a huge turn-off. I... »
