 | | 29. Deflating the Elephant | | | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/19/2009 |  | Deflating the Elephant - DVD Review By: Jason McKiernan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/18/2009 11:40 PM | |
Deflating the Elephant is a sad disaster of a movie. In many ways, I hesitate to actually label it a "movie," except that a camera was obviously used to film people moving and speaking in front of it. In terms of content, the film disseminates valuable, important ideas, but those ideas are presented like the most boring and meandering ACLU seminar ever devised. The DVD cover does well to exploit the appearances of Academy Award-winning actor and outspoken liberal activist Sean Penn and best-selling author and one of the world's foremost masters of language and argument, George Lakoff. To be fair, the cover doesn't lie: Penn and Lakoff do appear in the movie -- a lot. read the full review | |

 | | 31. Sicko | | | Starring: Michael Moore Director: Michael Moore | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/20/2008 | User Rating: 5 |  | Sicko - DVD Review By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2007 7:34 AM | | The strength of the film Sicko lies in the editing, music, and humorous narration by Moore himself. It is full of intense interviews, saddening life stories, and certainly builds on the frustrations and sympathy for people who have lost their homes and their hope, all because the government won't step in to regulate the ripping off of citizens by corporations. Sicko is to health care as Supersize Me is to the fast food industry. Moore is asking for the government to realize that, "all men are created equal," no matter how much medical need they have. read the full review | |
