While almost every other person in America talks about WikiLeaks on a daily basis, /Film has mostly remained out of the conversation. However, it seems even the film industry isn't immune from Julian Assange's controversial website. David pointed out one such article about how American TV and movies shown in Saudi Arabia are apparently helping…
Read MoreTwenty-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…

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…

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 and…

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,…

 In a summer full of big blockbuster movies, adaptations, sequels and threequels, you would think that Hollywood would have made some record scratch. Not so! According to the AP, attendance is running behind last summer's and has even fallen below that of the summer of 2005. According to Media By Numbers, 279 million tickets had…

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…

 Live Free or Die Hard made an estimated $9.1 million on Wednesday, according to 20th Century Fox. Obviously, this number comes no where near the Wednesday Opening Day Record set by Spider-Man 2 ($40.4 million). Fox considers this a good number. Most people were projecting $8-$10 million. So it's good but not great. You…
Read MoreThe summer movie season is in full effect. I saw Live Free or Die Hard last night and loved it despite the many logic holes and ridiculous stunts (read my review here). Tonight I see License to Wed, which I don't have much hope for (why does Mandy Moore keep picking the crappiest movies? I…

In the wake of the internet leak, The Weinstein Co are doing all they can to promote Sicko. It makes me wonder if they hired new people since the Grindhouse disaster. The latest idea involves the movie trailer for Michael Moore's latest to be projected on buildings across the country on Monday June 25th, beginning…

Earlier today, we told you that The Weinstein Co was planning "sneak previews" of Michael Moore's SiCKO this weekend in 27 markets where Moore's films have played well in the past. We now have more information. Weinstein is holding almost 50 screenings total in the 27 markets on Saturday, June 23rd. Check out the list…

So the film has hit the interweb, and The Weinstein Co are freaking out that no one will pay tickets to a movie that everyone can download for free (not an unreasonable thought). So the guys at The Weinstein Co and Lionsgate have announced plans to release the film ahead of schedule in a single…

We were one of the first people to report last week that Michael Moore's Sicko had been leaked to the internet. We debated for over an hour to post the information as it could do more bad than good. But the more we looked into the situation, the more weight the story had. This was…

A few weeks ago, a copy of Eli Roth's Hostel: Part II was leaked [dead link removed] on to the internet. It was not a video taped copy, like you normally find on canal street or the torrent sites. It was an unfinished production screener missing some visual and sound effects (and may-be even a scene or…

The Weinstein Co has finally released some art and photos for Michael Moore's new controversial documentary Sicko. I contemplated not including the word controversial in my last sentence, because when exactly does Moore make a non controversial film? Anyway, the news stories have already begun, and the film will debut at the Cannes Film Festival…
