When You're Str...
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…

Very Good 17 Points 2010

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…

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 …

The Dream Team
Very Good 66 Points 2012

USA Basketball will likely romp to a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics. But even LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook can’t hold a candle to the original Dream Team. “A majestic team,” observed Chuck Daly, their coach.

Michael Jordan – just peaking as a glo…

Killing Lincoln
Very Good 66 Points 2013

Admit it. You always wanted to know all the gory details about how John Wilkes Booth got into the Presidential box at Ford’s Theater, how he got away, got captured and got killed. Who hasn’t?

Killing Lincoln dramatizes that and more, providing an unflinching view of history that’s a valuab…

Girl Model
Very Good 66 Points 2011

Like most industries, the modeling industry has a supply chain. Girl Model documents one tawdry strand, originating in the tiny villages of Siberia and ending in the glitzy salons of Japan.

It’s not a pretty picture. It is full of pretty girls, many shockingly young. The Japanese like pub…

“Gimme shelter or I’m gonna fade away.” Some of the stars of this rocking documentary got their shelter from Jagger, the superstar who sang Gimme Shelter and from countless other single-namers. Not gonna fade away now, not with 20 Feet from Stardom sporting Mick, Bruce, Stevie, Sting, Bett…

The forests of Eastern Siberia look like the woods of North America. And yet they are radically different, being the home of wild Siberian tigers, the biggest of big cats. This brief NatGeo documentary gets up close and personal with these magnificent creatures, an awe inspiring experience for …

The Hornet's Nest
Very Good 17 Points 2014

Gritty, stressful, and suspenseful documentary of life in Afghanistan’s war zones. Well aided by dramatic narrative, shooting, and even music added to the suspense. But possibly the most impactful part of the movie is the closeness to the action that the father and son reporters were: down to …

Above and Beyond
Very Good 17 Points 2014

A very good story about WW II pilot volunteers to fight in Israel’s ‘Machal’ in its war for independence. This is as much a story about the history of the state of Israel as it is the Israeli air-force and the foreign volunteers that made it happen. Very interesting, including the creative and…
