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…

“Conquistadores of the useless†– that is one quote from the movie that captures a tongue in cheek perspective on what this movie is all about. In 180, you follow the adventures of Jeff Johnson, as he tries to re-trace a journey of a group of men from California to Patagonia and Corcovado …

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…

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 …
