Capitalism: A Love Story

Michael Moore's latest diatribe... errr, film. It's about the economic meltdown, although it veers into a lot of strange diversions. It's synopsis tells us that democracy is better than capitalism, but after two hours I still was confused by what he thought the difference was. The saddest thing for me, is that this is a once vibrant filmmaker who now seems content to simply stitch together a few thematically linked newsstories and present them like a warmed-over "60 Minutes". The style and flair that was evident in "Bowling for Columbine" and "Farenheit 9/11" is gone. The energy is missing in this film, as it was in "Sicko." I can't say this wasn't interesting material, but it was presently so flatly it left me feeling empty.
