Honoring 'Bowling For Columbine'
I just lost a bunch of respect for the Dark Horizons website. From their 'Best Films of 2002' write-up:
2. Bowling for Columbine - "Moore manages to swap between sheer outright shock to belly-busting laughter and back again all in the space of a minute or two. Its a project which asks the big questions and looks at the issue from a very balanced viewpoint and allows you the viewer to make up your own mind. Smart, funny, incisive and abundantly clever".
Emphasis mine. Anyone who's read any critique of Moore's movie knows better than that.
