Sicko - 2007 - Movie Review of Sicko
Sicko (2007) is a documentary film about a subject that touches every American's life: health care in the U.S. Filmmaker Michael Moore, in his inimitably entertaining style, shows that an astonishing percent of Americans don't have health insurance because they can't afford it, and that those who do are often bankrupted by illness that HMOs won't cover. The result: people die unnecessarily. It could be you, your kin or friends. This is one of the documentaries you really must see.

Sputnik Mania - Movie Review of Sputnik Mania - 2007
Sputnik Mania examines America's response to the launch of Sputnik, Earth's first artificial satellite, by the Soviet Union in October 1957. The launch, perceived as a blow to America's role as world leader and an imminent military threat, brought about the ensuing race to space, an emphasis on armaments development and stockpiling, and a sort of political and social paranoia in the American people. The film is fascinating. Parallels to post-9/11 American policy are evident.
