Matrix: 10/10 4th fav film I think...

Matrix 2: 6/10 boring as hell until the last hour. Then boring again after the trucks.

KillBill 1: 11/10 fav movie.

Scream 10/10 fav horror.

SWAT- 3/10 a stupid buy.

XXX state of the union- 7/10 I enjoyed it.

EXCELLENT. If you're a Wal-Mart shopper, watch this & you won't be. This film basically covers everything.... From how Wal-Mart deliberately runs small stores out of business, to how their corporate management openly discriminates against women and minorities, to how they pollute without regard while claiming to be environmentally conscious, to how they operate their sweatshops in Bangladesh & China (and fire American employees they send to the sweatshops to report on conditions when they report something that Wal-Mart doesn't like), to how they vehemently refuse any possibility of a worker's union, to how they claim to take care of their employees while paying them less than a livable income and terrible helath coverage (Wal-Mart actually TELLS their employees to use state sponsored health programs, WIC & welfare instead of just offering better benefits to them.), to how the Walton family (owners) donated a whopping less than 1% of their combined wealth (of over 100 billion dollars) to charity (By comparison, Bill Gates donated 58% of his wealth to charity) to how they train their store managers to actually go into the computer systems and delete worker's over time or shuffle it ahead to the next week.

I fancy myself pretty well informed on Wal-Mart's dirty deeds but I still learned a lot from this documentary and I highly suggest that you do too. See this before you set foot in to a Wal-Mart (or Sams Club. Same ownership.)

In all, this is probably one of the best documentary's I've ever seen & I wish there was a way that I could make every single person in this country watch it.

Anyone else seen this Wal-Mart documentary?

Yep, brilliant doc-filmmaking.

It did a good job of showing not only the political issues, but focusing in on the moral issues, showed us just how this corporation has damaged so many lives, both American and otherwise.

The film actually made me stop shopping at Wal-Mart. It was that effective. Glad to see someone else has seen it and got something out of it.

The Dream Team

I remember Peter Boyle's character telling a patient in the hospital to rise and walk which resulted in the patient trying to get up but falling flat on his face. I didn't see it when I watched it this time... odd.

I haven't got to see this yet but it's so odd because my aunt makes over $80,000 a year at Wal-Mart and gets good benefits...
They shouldn't HAVE to allow a union in either but that's just my opinion. Oddly enough, I went to Wal-Mart months and months ago and asked everybody in the "movie" department if they had this movie and I was met with blank stares. I am anxious to see it, I'll have to add it to my Netflix list. Personally I haven't really shopped at Wal-Mart since they edited all their music, stopped selling Al Snow toys, and wouldn't sell that Southern gentleman's BBQ sauce because he flew a confederate flag above his factory.

Transformers: The Movie.
I've always loved it, and I always will. Unfortunately, now every time I hear "You Got The Touch" in the movie I get a mental picture of Marky Mark coked out and screeching.
