Sicko

I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Michael Moore's Sicko later this summer.  Apparently, it rips a new a-hole for the health insurance industry in America.  As noted in the clip below, it doesn't so much go after the millions of Americans without healthcare as much as give voice to the contention that even those with insurance are on the short end of a crooked stick.

While I think he does take some cheapshots in some of his movies (like taking advantage of a clearly not-all-there Charlton Heston in Bowling for Columbine), he gives you something to think, talk and act about.  Compared to most of the crap that comes out of Hollywood in the last 10 years or so, at least Moore challenges his viewers a little bit.

He appeared on the season finale of Real Time w/ Bill Maher last weekend.  Here's the interview.
