Let me start by saying that I am a Republican before rating Sicko (5/5) as movie of the year. This, again, is a great documentary in a year of great documentaries. It is also interesting to see that Michael Moore and his kind use all sorts of manipulative tricks to increase excitement that used to make good Hollywood movies. American Gangster (2/5) should have been a thrilling new Godfather (5/5) but it just looks tired and worn out. Sicko, by contrast has comedy (breaking into Gitmo) and drama (curing the Sept 11 firefighters) and relevance. If America can waste money on all sorts of pork...can't we just provide universal basic helth care?

I'll go with Sicko...good movie. If you're in the mood for a good "foodie" flick, rent "Dinner Rush" (2005).
