OK 71 Points 2006

Dirty linen from 20th Century Hollywood gets aired in this screed against the MPAA ratings system. While modestly interesting to serious movie fans, its narrow self-interest grows tiresome and seems rather dated now that we’re hurtling into the 21st Century world of on-demand movie viewing and c…

In 1987, Sudan’s Muslim government in the North proclaimed death to all Christian males, most of who lived in the South. Over 27,000 young men fled their homes, eventually ending up in a refugee camp in Kenya, over 1,000 miles away. Having survived this trek, on foot, through dangerous jungles,…

‘Quit singing and jam’ remains my reaction to many Cream songs, including from their defining album. So it’s less than optimal that this rockumentary focuses on Disraeli Gears’ lyrics, lyricists and singing.

More to the point, their music ser…

Grizzly Man
Great 26 Points 2005

Really Great 17 Points 2005

An amazing documentary that chronicles the lives of Calcutta children born of women sex workers. Worthy of its Oscar, this film exposes the fact that these children are wise beyond their years and know exactly the dynamic that affects them. Beyond the normal documentary, the children are exposed …

OK 66 Points 2005

Enron’s rise and fall gets reprised in this dolorous documentary. Unfortunately there’s little new here for those who followed the debacle when it went down. Worse, the narrative is marred by a blanket sense of sanctimonious disgust and the testimony of at least one disgraced antagonist, convic…

Super Size Me
Great 6 Points 2004

“Super Size Me” is frightening. An eye-opener. A slap in the face by reality. The film is a tongue-in-cheek view of what the poison from the fast food industry can do to the human body over the course of a month. It’s a fun ride…but a horrifying truth.
