Biographies

I've checked the library and the library's databases for biographical information on Moore but to no avail. Here are some website biographies to fill the void:

All Movie Guide

Internet Movie Database

Other Sources

IMDB - Internet Movie Database - a great general resource for movies

Senses of Cinema - another great, general resource

Bowling a Strike for Columbine. Bright Lights Film Journal. May 2003. <http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/40/bowling.htm.>

Anything about Michael Moore himself can be found at http://michaelmoore.com/ in case you're interested.  He's an interesting guy, and his movies are better understood when you understand the moviemaker.
