Anyone who expects a documentary in the style of Ken Burns will be disappointed. There is no true analysis of why almost half of the electorate still seems to supporting Bush a few days before the election. Michael Moore has copied the methods of the Bush Whitehouse and engages in his own kind of propaganda. He turns the George Bush presidentcy into a farce. There are a few funny lines that will make you laugh unless you are George Bush. The first half of the film about the Saudi connection to Bin Laden and the Bushs is weaker than the second part where Moore turns the camera on the war in Iraq. He features a soldier who will rather go to jail than go back for a second tour in the Iraq war and a mother who lost her son in Iraq and is mad as hell. If Bush loses next week, the decision to invade Iraq will be the chief reason, giving Michael Moore a beautiful opening to help film him out of the office.Fahrenheit 9/11

Watching the life of a child molester and the disintegratation of his family is probably not the kind of story most people consider seeing when they wish to have a good night at the movies. But this documentary is such a spectacular piece of work that even a difficult subject cannot get in the way of having a great film experience. The film raises all sorts of interesting questions about family relations and how different people experience and remember the same events. This is a must-see film for any aspiring documentary maker.Capturing the Friedmans
