Summary: Amen
Review: Another good counter to michael marx's lies. This along with farenhype 911 points out the inaccuracies of moore's propaganda. To the reviewer who calls michael moore a regular guy, I have a news flash, "MICHAEL MOORE IS A COMMUNIST! He claims that our sanctions killed thousands of Iraqi children(this is also one of bin laden's claims) but I find it curious how Saddam continued to build multi million dollar palaces throughout the 90's. It would appear that he failed to feed his own people, but I guess it's Americas fault anyway. This guy also claims that George Bush thinks the Iraq war will stop all terrorism. Are you serious?? Ole' GW never said that buddy. It seems that you are too blinded by your hatred for America and George Bush to see the facts. No matter how much you may agree with Michael Moore, his movie was filled with lies and distortions. And this guy has the nerve to claim that Bush tried to shut down moore's movie? It was Kerry who got his lawyers to threaten the maker's of "Stolen Honor" and stop the airing of it. They knew the damage it would do because it exposes Kerry as the traitor he is after what he did to his comrades after Vietnam. In conclusion, Michael Moore says that it's impossible to be a millionaire so don't bother trying. Three successful movies and four best-selling books later, you gotta love the irony!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: an answer to John Kerry, not Michael Moore
Review: Before buying this movie, you should be aware that it is more of a campaign film bashing Kerry (who is called a liar more than once). In fact the film is put out by a group called Citizens United, a self declared advocacy group for the "Bush Agenda" (check out www.citizensunited.org) and the feature song by Larry Gatlin, "Johnboy" is a mockery of Kerry's flip-flopping. I was hoping for a lucid answer to Moore's Farenheit 9-11, but in fact only the first half of the film tries to rebut Moore's work, and even then it does so in very broad strokes. It only addresses about half the issues in Moore's film and does not specifically attack F-9/11, but provides a general conservative view of the topics. I think the film merits two stars because its segment on the 2000 election (significantly longer than Moore's) is an intelligent rebuttal to what I consider the weakest part of Farenheit 9-11. Other than that, basically the film just gathers a handful of right-wing cheerleaders (Krauthammer, Barone, Medved, et. al) who parrot the lines you've been hearing all election cycle. By the way, I found myself wondering why Michael Medved, a TV/Movie critic, is presented as an expert voice on foreign policy. It also felt ironic to hear Medved, who criticizes media violence so strongly (and correctly, I believe) speak so glowingly about violence as a solution in the real world. Anyway, if you're not familiar with the conservative take on election issues, this movie is worth a look. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: GOD
Review: D**n his movie sucks. O.K. Fahrenheit 9/11 was a little one sided but but GOD they pump this thing with more lies here that they do in Fahrenheit 9/11. By the way this movie is RATED R for brief language and violent images

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just What the Left Deserves.
Review: I congratulate those who conceptualized this movie. They accomplished a noble task which is the discrediting of the anti-American left. Their title is most inventive as it symbolizes the temperature at which one's brain begins to die.

This is an excellent motif that allows the filmmakers to document just how imbalanced most of the anti-Bush protesters are. By interviewing and showing this fringe, many of whom I've seen up close and personal in Chicago both in March of 2003 and in March of 2004, the viewer can see the type of anti-reason that they embody. George W. Bush is as close to Hitler as my keyboard is to organic fertilizer. To make the comparisons that the Moveon.org crowd make, is to admit to knowing nothing about history and mankind.

Celsius 41 11 is chock full of arguments that you can use to combat the canards of the left. Florida in 2000 was a scandal but it was a scandal due to the networks calling it early and stealing thousands of votes away from Bush in the Republican panhandle. The western state vote was supressed before their polls closed, and the film also makes clear that not one African-American was disenfranchised--anywhere. We find that the Patriot Act is not a means in which to incarcerate librarians, but instead, a way in which to dismantle terrorist organizations with the force of the RICO Act. Concerning WMDs, every famous secret service in the West (America, France, Germany, Russia, and Great Britian) all regarded Saddam as possessing them in 2003.

You won't find this at Blockbuster and shame on the video conglomerates for being so narrowminded as to prominently display anti-Bush propaganda while completely dodging films like this.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE !
Review: If you believe every thing you hear & are Not that concerned with actual Facts...YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE !, If you still believe that there are WMD in Iraq even after our own government told us otherwise...YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVE !, If you believe Bill Clinton is 100% responsible for 9/11 even though his plan to capture Bin Laden was voted down by house Republicans ....YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE !. If you like to watch old NAZI Military video clip to justify the war that is going on today...YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE!. If you believe that John Kerry is the only Vietnam vet to ever protest the Vietnam war...YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE!, If you believe John Kerry is reason that our POW in Vietnam were tortured...YOU'LL LOVE THIS MOVIE! . If you have even an ounce of a brain ...YOU'LL SEE RIGHT THROUGH THIS FILM & YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT IT'S PURE PROPAGANDA. I gave it 2 stars because it's better than FahrenHYPE 9/11 but they both still fail to provide FACTS.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS PROVES MICHAEL MOORE IS A LIEING LOSER LIBERAL
Review: Is there really anyone who doesnt believe Michael Moore is a traitor and coward? This movie shows how Moore is a lieing piece of crap and how liberals are a sickness upon humanity.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Propaganda
Review: See what the filmakers learned from Adolf Hitler's use of the media as propaganda. They learned from the best. A complete joke. Pure fiction. Dangerous to freedom loving people the world over in the fact that some actually believe this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The truth behind the lies
Review: The vicious 2004 Presidential election is evidence of how deeply divided our nation is. The divide goes far deeper than Democrat/Republican or Liberal/Conservative. The divide goes deep into the hearts of all Americans. For over a generation now,our schools have taught that right and wrong is determined by each individual, that you should not let anyone tell you what is right or wrong for you. This has had a disasterous impact on our national soul. Because of this we have people like Michael Moore making films with no concern for truth or accuracy. In Mr. Moore's eyes, the truth is not important. He truly hates America and he hates George Bush because Pres. Bush has the audacity to love our nation and to believe that all people on Earth should have a chance to be free. Celsius 411 and FahrenHYPE 9/11 were made as an answer to Mr. Moore, and to put forth the real story, if anyone really cares to seek out the truth. In the Bible, when life was good for God's chosen people, they valued their possessions more than God and turned away from Him. The Bible says then "every man did what was right in his own eyes". Which is to say they determined their own morality instead of following God's law. This resulted in God's punishment and great sorrow, which would then bring them back to the Lord, which then led to His blessings and then the cycle started again. Half of Americans still believe and look to God for guidence. In the other half, every man is doing what is right in his own eyes. This my fellow citizens is the root of our divide. As the numbers in the first group dwindle, the fabric of our society is futher torn. How long until......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't support terrorism
Review: While I admit this film Celsius 41 11 is a pro-Bush film it is more objective and honest than anything Michael Moore has done. The case is made that preemptive strikes are now an important response to terrorists and dictator thugs. Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson really exposes the lies of the radical "new left" and the importance of confronting evil in the world. While I personally wish for the war to be over and for the troops to come home (my brother is a marine in Iraq) expanding freedom is paramount. It is true that freedom is still expanding around the globe, and is a gift from the Creator not just American values or ideals. America has a long historical tradition of supporting liberty.

This film also draws a valuable comparison between President Bush and Senator Kerry. Kerry would fight the war on terrorism in a totally different way that would not put America's interests first. In conclusion this film makes an extremely successfull case that Bush is conducting the war honorably and ethically. I would sincerely hope that the Democrats in Congress would join the effort in expanding freedom and democracy across the globe. Unfortunately, now there is only one party in Washington who champions human rights.

Other highlights of the film include some of the radical statements made by the new left and the inconsistentcy of those who have now changed their tune about the dangers that were present in Iraq.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting and Informative
Review: While, in my view, Celsius 41.11 isn't as good a rebuttal to Fahrenheit 9/11 as is FahrenHYPE 9/11, it is still worth watching. Many distinguished opinion makers make the case for Bush's policies in the War on Terror. In addition, Kerry is criticized (although in not as vitriolic a way one might think). He is portrayed as an honorable man with good motives, but someone who can't get the job done. Unfortunately, Celsius 41.11 features little special effects and therefore can be boring at times. However, it is an informative documentary worth watching.
