The Wrecking Crew
Great 83 Points 2008

Fans of the Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, the Mamas & the Papas, Sonny & Cher or Nancy Sinatra should seek out this documentary about the unsung musicians who made their music for them. The Wrecking Crew wasn’t an official name for the group. These independent studio players didn’t have an officia…

Which Way Home
Very Good 5 Points 2009

A very thought-provoking documentary about Central American kids who utilize riding on top of the freight train to travel the thousands of miles to the U.S border. Of course, with the current debate over immigration rights, this topic is highly contested. So seeing the perspective of individual…

Tyson
Good 66 Points 2009

This well crafted biodoc provides a warts-and-all picture of boxing and cultural phenomenon Iron Mike Tyson. Given his pop prominence and the high quality of the film, Tyson will appeal to non-boxing fans, though not to many women given its subject’s twisted attitudes and rape conviction.

T…

Capitalism: A L...
Good 5 Points 2009

Another Michael Moore documentary, this time pointing out the failings of the current economic climate, and decrying them as a byproduct of capitalism. Moore approaches this issue much like a prizefighter who jabs at a bigger opponent, but does not offer a substantial punch, in my opinion, to kn…

Very Good 17 Points 2009

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…

Winnebago Man
Good 5 Points 2009

Jack Rebney has been called “The World’s Most Angry Man” after copies of him cursing his way through the taping of a 1989 Winnebago promotional video were circulated, eventually ending up on youtube.com. Evidently Jack was having a bad day when he filmed the video, as his blooper reel is filled…

OK 5 Points 2009

Growing up as a child in the 60s and 70s, Disney animation was becoming more and more irrelevant. I had seen most of the traditional great Disney movies, such as Bambi, Snow White, and Fantasia. They were nice, but were not as accessible and enjoyable for me as Looney Tunes that came on every S…

This Is It
Great 78 Points 2009

Michael Jackson – like Elvis – left the building at a shockingly young age, inadvertently bestowing this rehearsal documentary to posterity. It’s quite the confection, demonstrating the singular brilliance of an otherworldly showbiz creature while leaving us wanting more.

The movie makes clea…
