Good 17 Points 2010

Slogging through the surge. The soldiers in Baker company only had 90 days, yet were on task to establish a forward outpost. Yep, right In the middle of the bad guys. This is no Restrepo – but engrossing in a measured, paced kind of way. Fighting is not the focus of the movie, instead you ar…

The King of Kong
Good 17 Points 2007

While not a great movie, the fun-poking at geeky 70’s arcade game players was hard to resist. Lots of chuckles at characters that probably existed when you and your acne was playing Pac Man or Donkey Kong at the arcade. Even more funny is the look at the ultra-geeks who get sucked back in when t…

Citizen Soldier
Good 17 Points 2016

This film, constructed with POV filming from helmet cams and interviews follows the Oklahoma national guard (whic- only trains 39 days a year) as they are sent to Afghanistan on a village clearing mission. This is not your typical documentary. In the spirit of Restrepo (but more subdued), the fi…

The Class of 92
Good 17 Points 2013

An engaging look at the famous Manchester United boys (David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil and Gary Neville) between ’92 and ’99. They were boys who grew up together on the field as the junior team and rose up through the ranks to win European championships. Apparently this…

Good 66 Points 1999

Who’s Next fans – and who’s not – will be delighted by this 50 minute documentary. More celebratory than insightful, it also suffers from a few omissions. However it’s all good when Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle marvel at how their benchmark album came into existence. Long…

Good 66 Points 2006

‘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.

David Fricke’s commentary is terrific however.

More to the point, their music ser…
