 | | 1. Sicko | | | Starring: Michael Moore Director: Michael Moore | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/20/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 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 | |

You do not have to read the original short story "1408," part of the longer anthology Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales, to know that the central idea comes from author Stephen King. In fact, one must assume that the movie was pitched in production meetings as "The Shining in New York." And while it's true that this cinematic take on "1408" recycles so many narrative strings tied to King's overall body of work, it somehow modifies them into a surprisingly fresh, tight and effective thriller. Renowned travel writer Mike Enslin (John Cusack), like most characters in King's ouvere, is haunted by his own demons. read the full review | |
