Michael Moore's latest documentary about the rise of capitalism and its influence on our society is another solid effort. While not as damning as Fahrenheit 9/11 or emotional as Sicko, it does get you thinking about our economic state and how we've gotten to where we are today. Moore traces how Wall Street has influenced our politics, thus influencing our capitalistic economy, and along the way he sprinkles in some real life examples of those who have been victims to capitalism. Nobody comes off looking very good in this film politics-wise, and you're likely to leave the theatre wondering just how we allowed our current state to happen.

Watching ordinary working class Joes describing Obama as a "socialist" as if a vote for him was like voting for Chairman Mao is frankly astonishing to anyone outside the American borders. Socialism is a system that works perfectly well within a capitalist framework and is basically just a set of rules organised …
