Enron: The Hardest DVD to Purchase



Seven stores later, I was finally able to pick up a copy of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. Two Best Buys, Two Future Shops, One Music World....nothing. I then went to an HMV, who had ordered just ONE copy of it. The disc inside it was dislodged and rattling inside. The store clerk was on the ball though and opened it up first before selling to me to see if it was scratched, and it was. So, when looking for reading material at Chapters for my trip to PUERTO VALLARTA! I forgot they had a DVD rack and sure enough, they had a handful of copies for sale. That's right. A book store had it.

Now, I know it wasn't the biggest box office draw or anything, but it WAS released in theatres, garnered lots of critical claim, and just recently got a Best Documentary nomination for the Oscars. It is a very important study of how corporate greed influences the lives of many, how rich white men in suits cannot be trusted, and how we must never be lax when investigating and prosecuting white collar crime. Give it a try...resist renting Doom and try something different.
