Last night, I saw Michael Moore's latest film, "Sicko."  I found it informative and moving; it was a good place to cry for awhile.  The few things I found frustrating were (1) Since I work in public health, I already knew a lot of the statistics and information.  (2) I wanted to get more information about the health systems in Asia. He just compared the United States with countries that have socialized medicine.  I agree with Dude when he said that this was not Moore's best work; I still thought it was a solid effort.

Which Screen? Small screen will do, but there is no harm in seeing it on the big screen.

Technically, I saw the Simpsons movie before this.  However, I already talked about that movie on another page.  Therefore, I am forging ahead.  When Mrs. Henderson presents was out in the theater, I never got around to viewing it.  Fortunately, I remembered to put it in my netflix queue. 

Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins were both wonderful.  I loved the humor balanced with the serious parts.  Plus, I was very sad when the movie finished.

Which Screen? Too late for the big screen, but a definite must for the small screen.

I had heard lots of good things about Transformers.  I enjoyed the cartoon when I was little, but remained skeptical of seeing the movie.  With all the rave reviews my friends were delivering, I decided to give it a chance.  The first hour of the movie had enough funny moments with clever dialogue that the cheesiness factor was diminished.  The last hour, I was restless, bored, and thinking, "Who said this movie was REALLY good?"  The delicious movie popcorn I treated myself to was the best part of the experience.

Which Screen: Small Screen. Although, you could live a very happy life without seeing the movie at all.

Big Screen:  You should pay the money to see this in theater.

Small Screen: You can wait to watch it on video.

No Screen: Save your time and money for something else.
