The Features of 'Fahrenheit' (washingtonpost.com)

The Features of 'Fahrenheit' (washingtonpost.com)Michael Moore said months ago that his anti-George W. Bush documentary would come out on DVD prior to the U.S. presidential election. He's kept his word. Exactly four weeks before voters across the country cast their ballots, "Fahrenheit 9/11" -- a single-disc containing several bonus features, including deleted scenes and a few featurettes -- arrives in stores today.

Given the flood of left-leaning documentaries that has been released in "Fahrenheit's" wake, the impact of Moore's movie has diminished somewhat. Those who watch it for the first time may regard much of the footage with a "been there, seen that" sort of attitude. Nevertheless, "Fahrenheit 9/11" -- by virtue of its subject matter and Moore's aggressive promotion -- has transcended moviedom to become a memorable cultural moment. For that reason, and the undeniable power of many of its scenes, it's still worth watching.
