    bowling for columbine

    My gf is a big micheal moore fan, so i went to see bowling for columbine with her. Great film to see. He had some great points, and hillarious footage. It was well worth the money

    It was pretty cool, because a large majority of it is shot in the flint-detroit area of michigan, so i knew where most of it was shot. the news footage used was also flint and detroit news stations.

    the cartoon in it is hillarious.

    5 out of 5 stars

    Michael Moore is brilliant. I just found my tapes of "TV Nation" and they're next in my viewing queue.

    serious documentary that uses comedy to help gain viewer attention and to prove some of moores points

    moore had a GREAT sense of humor. in fact, he has a talent that has almost become a lost art: the ability to make you laugh and to make you think all at the same time. even when you don't agree with his message, you just have to love the delivery

    If you haven't already done so, run out and rent Roger and Me immediately. It's Michael Moore's first film about his attempts at meeting with then-GM chairman Roger Smith to discuss the plant closings in Flint, MI.

    There's a great short film that he made as a followup, called Pets or Food (a reference to a specific scene in the original movie-- I won't spoil it).

    Both are thought-provoking and hilarious.

    Saw it tonite with my g/f. REALLY Good movie. Michael Moore brings up some very good points and at the same time parts of the movie are hilarious. This guy has balls and gets thigns done. I don't necessarily agree with everything he says but he sure as hell can prove his point better than I could prove mine.
