It’s hard not to feel some affection – even love – for the Oscars, the biggest film industry awards ceremony. And this year is no exception. The Oscars 2008 will go down in history as the most highly anticipated award ceremony of all time, if only for the drama surrounding whether the event would go ahead at all. And the Oscars wouldn’t be the Oscars without the stars’ dramatic acceptance speeches. With a 45 second deadline and an audience of more than a billion viewers, the pressure ...

Le dernier film de Michael Moore est un documentaire qui nous présente le système de santé aux Etats-Unis. On se rend compte que malgré leur statut de puissance les gens ne peuvent pas avoir un accès correct à la santé. « La sécurité sociale » comme est appelé en France est privée pour les américains. Nonobstant, les assurances utilisent n’importe quel prétexte pour ne pas donner les soins dont les malades ont besoin. Le film enquête pourquoi des pays comme Canada, Roya...
