The following Blu-rays and DVDs are being released on Tuesday, May 10, unless otherwise noted: Where to Invade Next (Blu-ray) Details: 2015, Anchor Bay Entertainment Rated: R, language, nudity, violent images, drug use The lowdown: Michael Moore’s latest feature is not so much a documentary as a travelogue in which Moore spans the globe to demonstrate how some nations have adopted and conduct programs that benefit their citizens, as compared to the United States, where such systems are too costly or limited. The fact that Moore cherry-picks — ignoring problems that some of these countries face and freedoms denied their citizens — does not appear to concern the filmmaker. Despite these oversights, “Where to Invade Next” is not as strident or preachy as previous Moore movies. The film has a jaunty and playful lightness that makes it appealing and palatable. What Moore is basically doing is highlighting problems and issues facing the United States and finding solutions is some very unlikely places.
