Very Good
5 years in the lives of two inner-city Chicago Boys (William Gates and Arthur Agee), who live, breathe, and dream basketball. You could see it in their faces, for example when Arthur gets his ear-to-ear grin when he met Isaiah Thomas during his first practice at St. Joseph’s. Where Hoop Dreams …

When You're Strange

– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
Very Good
A compelling Rockumentary about Jim Morrison and the Doors. What makes this film special is the volume and variety (and apparently rarity) of the film footage that was used. The narration by Johnny Depp at times seemed almost unnecessary – all that was needed was the music and the footage. T…

Very Good
For you uninitiated (or unaware), Rush is a band that continues to produce ever evolving kick-ass progressive rock after 35 years, has 24 consecutive gold and platinum albums (trailing only The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Aerosmith), gets shunned by critics, yet continues to sell out big stadiums…

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…

Great
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 …

This tense movie follows the 1996 trek of a group of climbers to the Everest summit. Amazing filming and scenery. You often hear about the dangers and resulting deaths, but that reality is often left out of action documentaries. Not so with this film. As it happens, another group going up to the …

OK
Stanley Tucci narrates this look at the famous Ken Keasey and the Merry Pranksters trip across the US. The trip itself was exactly that — a long strange trip. Looking at it from the outside, I don’t know whether to label it as something meaningful and defining for the 60’s, or just a bunch o…

Really Great
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…

I can’t say much more than simply see this documentary if you are either a Doors fan or a fan of 60’s and 70’s music lore. The iconic Jim Morrison had a mind that few could fully understand; The poetry in his music and the unpredictability of his life is something that many will talk about…

OK
Undefeated is a bit of a misnomer – the Manassas Tigers actually lost their first football game, and by hook and by crook – coach Bill Courtney took this scrappy underprivileged neighborhood team to Tennessee greatness. Bill himself narrates, so you get his story as well as his inspirational mes…
