Sicko


Over the next five weeks, we'll be watching all five of the documentaries nominated for Best Feature Documentary at the Academy Awards. We'll start with Sicko by Michael Moore - this Friday, 8PM at our place.

The other nominated documentaries are:
Why Demoncracy? Taxi to the Dark Side
No End in Sight
Operation Homecoming
War/Dance

Hope to see you out!

I found Sicko very entertaining, and I think that, as activism, it is really brilliant. As a documentary I found it less brilliant. Most of us have come to expect Moore's stagings and emotional 'heart-tugs', but I think, that underlying the obvious 'constructions' and exagerations - the message he's trying to get across does come through, and it's glaringly obvious that the U.S. health care system needs a complete overhaul.
