When it was first announced that Paramount Vantage and Overture would be distributing Michael Moore’s next film, the press release stated that “the subject matter of the new film is being kept under wraps by all the principals.” I think where people got confused is the release also called the film “a searing and provocative [...]

Paramount Vantage and Overture Films have announced that they are co-financing and co-producing a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 with documentary filmmaker Michael Moore. Overture will distribute the film domestically, while Vantage will handle international. The big news is that Moore is leaving The Weinstein Co, which distributed his last two films. The yet-to-be-titled [...]

Twenty-three days into the month of January, Michael Moore is getting proactive about his New Year’s resolution: he wants one screen in every multiplex in America reserved for foreign films and documentaries. So, how’s your newly implemented exercise regime going so far, everybody? Here’s Moore…
“People want to see documentaries, but there’s a disconnect between [...]

I was able to screen Michael Moore’s Sicko at a special screening before the film premiered this Summer, and loved it. I’m sure it will be on my top 10 of the year. But time is hard to come by now-a-days. I’ve had a DVD copy of Michael Moore’s Sicko on my DVD shelf for [...]

David Letterman’s production company Worldwide Pants has announced the start of a yet-to-be–titled feature documentary following five teenagers running for office. Production will begin this weekend and run through Election Day (November 6). Michael Moore’s former assistant Jason Pollock is directing the film which follows five men and women aged 18-20 who are trying to [...]

The Weinstein Co are re-releasing Michael Moore’s Sicko this weekend, giving American audiences one more chance to catch this important documentary on the big screen. I can’t recommend this film enough, it’s one of the best of the year.
And I’m sure it’s no coincidence that Moore will also be making a second appearance on Oprah [...]

Congratulations to Michael Moore, whose movie Sicko has just become the third biggest documentary of all time, surpassing Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. Check out the press release after the jump.

Captain Mike Across America is not as strong as most of Michael Moore’s other documentaries. It’s also not quite as funny. But that’s probably because it’s a very different film than any of Michael’s previous works. In the same way as Dave Chappelle’s Block Party is very different from every other Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine, [...]

With the Toronto Film Festival ready to ramp up next week, we’ve just gotten our hands on a ton of new production photos from some of our most anticipated films of Fall 2007. Michael Moore’s documentary about the Slacking UprisingTour of 2004 is set to premiere at the festival, and we have seven photos from [...]

Michael Moore has tackled Downsizing, School Shootings, the culture of fear, The Iraq War, President Bush, and most recently - the American healthcare system. What’s next for the controversial documentary filmmaker? Homophobia. That’s right, Moore has revealed that homophobia and the anti-gay Christian right movement might be the topic of his next documentary.
“I think it’s [...]

I’m not sure if you caught this yesterday, but it has become one of the hot topics of conversation today. Michael Moore appeared on CNN to promote Sicko, and was sideswiped with a piece which attempted to disprove some of the facts in the film. Moore was live on the show and hucked everything [...]

In my review for Michael Moore’s latest film Sicko, I referenced a segment from Moore’s short lived television show The Awful Truth. The segment featured a father who was being denied an operation by his HMO which could/would save his life. Moore confronted the HMO company Humana with the case, and when they didn’t respond, [...]

The numbers are in and Michael Moore’s Sicko has made an estimated $4.5 million in it’s first weekend on just 441 screens. This is well above expectations. The Weinstein Co has plans to expand the release in the coming weeks, beginning with the addition of 200 more screens on Tuesday. And with 93% of moviegoers [...]

 
I’ve always thought that Michael Moore doesn’t get the credit he deserves. People complain that his films aren’t documentaries because they only show one side of the story. These same people watch a film like Super Size Me or, well, see that’s the problem. There aren’t that many documentaries that are overtly accessible to the [...]
