"Fahrenheit 9/11" (TWO STARS out of four stars, Columbia-Tristar, $28.95) could be the first DVD in which the film itself is the bonus feature. As the most successful documentary ever made, this indictment of George W. Bush and the Iraq war and occupation has been seen by just about everyone who agrees with director Michael Moore's belief that the premise for the war is fictitious, as manufactured and predictable as any Hollywood production, and millions more of the curious.
It's possible some Republicans might now rent it (Do they still make brown paper bags?) just to see what got everyone so riled up. Or they might use it in the way some people suffering from low blood pressure use Fox News: to get their stress and anger up.
