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…

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…

OK 66 Points 2008

A behind-the-scenes peek at high fashion, huge egos and what’s left of La Dolce Vita, this documentary of superstar designer Valentino works as a modest entertainment, but mostly serves as a character study of a monstrously successful artistic genius and his promotional alter ego. For those in…

Really Great 83 Points 2008

Ain’t no better basketball movie than this boys-to-men documentary about LeBron James and his brothers-in-hoops. Even better, More Than a Game can be enjoyed equally well by non-basketball fans because it’s also a brilliant and touching portrait of half a dozen contemporary African-American mal…

Very Good 5 Points 2008

A frightening documentary about a group of Bakersfield, California parents who were wrongly imprisoned for child pornography and molestation charges after investigators used leading questions to interrogate the parent’s own children. Led by an overzealous “Tough on Crime” district attorney, many …

Great 83 Points 2008

A must see for the true rock fan, this awkwardly titled rockumentary should have been called Axemen since it’s an intimate portrait of three great guitar heroes, two of them certified Rock Gods.

The movie wraps flashbacks, interviews and archival footage around a jam session with the three: …

Perfect 83 Points 2008

Part cultural artifact, part rock-n-roll circus, Scorsese’s film elegantly captures the ageless wonder of the Rolling Stones. Pop sensations for half a century now, Mick, Keith and their mates still possess the power to make young girls wild with desire, one of many truths revealed by the movie’s…
