Great 83 Points 1996

Wow. Not many movies peg the meter in terms of skiing, mountaineering, WWII and contemporary history. This documentary does.

A great lens into the Greatest Generation, Fire on the Mountain explores the exploits of the legendary 10th Mountain Division

Sweet San Francisco – eccentric and accepting – takes wing in Judy Irving and Mark Bittner’s Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.

Telegraph Hill – as anyone who’s been there knows – is a wild nubbin overlooking Alcatraz. Fits that it would host a flock of jail-broke cherry-heads with a couple o…

In the spirit of ‘Sicko’, and from the director of ‘Supersize-Me’, Morgan Spurlock heads out on a satirical journey to find Osama. The film starts with the humor early when Mogan goes through an ‘intense’ set of survival, language, and anti-terrorism training in a tounge-in-cheek way. From there…

Gripping movie about Simon Yates and Joe Simpson’s climb up Siula Grande in the Andes. But the ascent wasn’t the gripping part. The incredible story was about how Joe breaks his leg and how Simon lowers him down – an incredibly treacherous maneuver, which fails when Joe goes over a ledge forc…

Man on Wire
Great 95 Points 2008

Philippe Petit’s “Artistic Crime of the Century” – tightrope walking the Twin Towers – comes joyously alive in this revelatory documentary. Merry pranksters, Petit and his collaborators embody 60s joie de vivre that’s as life-affirming as a skywalker is death-defying.

The movie provides ample…

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.

A Film Unfinished
Great 71 Points 2010

A Film Unfinished shows more death – literal, real death – than perhaps any other movie. Comprised of footage the Nazis shot for a staged documentary of the Warsaw Ghetto, it is an essential Holocaust movie because it’s real, contemporaneous and shows how the Nazis forced the Jews to live in d…

Vietnam in HD
Great 17 Points 2011

Graphic, gripping, history communicated with clarity and understandable progression. I can honestly say that this documentary made me fully understand the war, from start to end for the first time. Clarity of interaction with North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, and Cambodia was revealed in a way that …
