I saw it last week in a press screening. Very powerful stuff. Moore does not make his presence felt in the usual grandstanding ways, he acts more as a commentator, an editorializing analyst, as he offers his take on the news media footage he has selected to prompt and provoke people to really think about some of the connections he proposes...the Saudi royals and the Bush family's close ties, for example...

The footage of Dubya staring blankly into space in the moments after he heard about the Twin Tower and Pentagon attacks is absolutely priceless...as are his sound bytes about declaring war on terror right before he slices into a gold ball on the putitng green...

I did not like the way Moore spends so much time on a grieving mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, in his hometown of Flint. It seemed a wee bit exploitative to me. But most of the other content was extremely thought-provoking and insightful. I tend to agree with the points of view espouses here and think Moore does our country a great service by trying to get beyond what the mainstream media dishes out.

I hope everyone in America sees this film. Don't miss the first five minutes.
