Roger And Me
Ex-journalist Michael Moore's blistering, satirical documentary about the closing of the General Motors plants in Flint, Michigan in the mid-1980s. This move, which eliminated 33,000 jobs and left the one-industry town destitute, was a particularly bitter tragedy, considering that Flint was the town that gave birth to General Motors during post-war boom era of the 1950s. The film revolves around Moore's dogged attempts to gain an interview with Roger Smith, the elusive and well-insulated head of GM and the man responsible for the layoffs. While tracking the eponymous Roger, Moore takes time out to record the devastation of Flint and the desperate, often unintentionally hilarious attempts of the citizens and the city fathers to deal with the catastrophe.

Moore is brilliant
Pure corporate capitalism, the type we live under, is amoral. Decisions are made solely on profit and irrespective of ethical consequence. In fact, US Law ... read more »

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?
- 06 May 2008
Morgan Spurlock on the trail of the world's most wanted man? That's a real grabber. Too bad he doesn't follow through with it. Not that you would expect the Super Size Me filmmaker to succeed where (we assume) the CIA has failed. After all, binging on Big Macs is no qualification for this kind of work. Perhaps Errol Morris should have tried ' he was a private investigator before he turned to making movies. To be fair Spurlock does make enquiries as to Osama's whereabouts. In fact he asks...
