Weekend Movie Forecast: Capitalism: A Love Story or "Hideous Men"

Michael Moore's new documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story explores the root causes of the global economic meltdown, which culminated in what Moore sees as the biggest robbery in American history: the transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to bail out private financial institutions. We love Michael Moore, but just to be fair, let's hear what the Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern has to say: "Once again he's on his own barricades, doing whatever it takes to drive home provocative points in a movie that manages shrewdly, even brilliantly, to capitalize on the populist anger that has been sweeping the nation.

"Beyond using comedy as a satiric response to folly and tragedy, Capitalism: A Love Story combines, sometimes tellingly and sometimes befuddlingly, what we know, what we think we know and what we fear about regulatory failures, revolving doors between corporate and public life, the excesses of the financial sector and the human consequences of a distressed economy. And it whips the frenzied events of last fall's meltdown into a montage that suggests nothing less than the Apocalypse. Mr. Moore aims to proselytize his friends and demonize his enemies. His movie hits both marks."
