The story of Timothy Treadwell – famously known for going out into the wild and chronicling the lives of bears. He saw himself as a savior of the bear and of nature. The filming is incredible. The man got close. In the end, he got too close. This is no surprise after getting to know him. He wa…

The documentary about the four Ward brothers (Delbert, William, Roscoe and Lyman) of Munnsvile, NY. Delbert was accused of murdering his brother William, and the film largely about Delbert’s trial, but it uses the story to study the Wards as representatives of America’s uneducated rural lower cla…

As usual, Michael Moore’s movies are able to pointedly make a mockery of whatever they aim at — in this case, the US healthcare system. There are multiple sides to every story, and this movie is biased to be sure, but it is entertaining and gives you an outlet to laugh at the silliness of what h…

I’ve always just been a casual fan of the Who — I have lots of song favorites, but I’ve never known that much about the band itself. This documentary does a great job of putting you in touch with the band, its history, its music, and especially the personalities of the members Roger Daltrey, Pet…

Great
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…

Directed by Ron Howard. Shadow highlights the fascinating stories of the Apollo missions from the space men themselves. An amazing journey and story. I loved the way that the whole space program was almost a hack: try something, then fix bugs. Ironically, the height was during the 60’s when …

He rocks you with grooving new songs and hits you with classics that still raise goosebumps…. I haven’t heard a better revival of his style of music. Although I didn’t like all the songs on the DVD, please do stick it through — because there are some riffs you won’t want to miss….. As for me…

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…
