Promises kept: Documentary Film Review Part II
So, I've been a little lazy with the blogging. Happens to everyone. Once again I've returned to tell you what's good so you don't have to slog through the crap.
Hell House- These crazy, churchy-types don't shock me anymore. I've become immune. I fast forwarded through most of this one to get to the punchlines. I thought This American Life covered the bases on this one, listen to that. Don't watch.
Killer at Large- This was an interesting enough film about obesity. Watch it.
Girl 27- I enjoyed this one. I thought it was a simple, honest look at what sexual assault can do to a person. Watch it.
Witch Hunt- This is one of those justice-done-wrong kind of flicks. I'm always a little fascinated and horrified by such things. Worth watching.
Keep the River on Your Right: A modern cannibal tale- I loved this film. The man who it's about, Tobias Schneebaum is fascinating and wonderful. If I ever make a documentary I want it to be like this one. Watch it.
Body of War- I nearly grabbed a sign and started a war protest infront of my building after watching this. I feel guilty for not caring more. Don't watch.
Private Practices: The story of a sex surrogate- Silliness. No one buys this. We all know what prostitution is, do you think we were born yesterday? Don't watch.
Grizzly Man- This film got a lot of talk. Do you feel curious as to what happens when you go out and play with a wild grizzly bear??... No??... you're not an idiot?... you know EXACTLY what happens when you go out and play with a wild grizzly bear??... Well, then you probably know what happens to the moron this movie is about. So, unless the voice of the egotistical Wegner Herzog makes you cream your pants, don't watch.
Food, Inc.- I'm on a real food kick myself. I'm exceedingly smart, so I already knew all the info this movie presented, but you're not me. So, you should seriously watch this film. I feel cheesey saying it, but this film is important.
Following Sean- This was a bit of a snoozefest. Don't bother.
The Loss of Nameless Things- I've watched several documentaries on brain injuries, and this has been my favorite so far. It really portrays what sort of things are lost in a brain injury, which I don't believe the public at large easily comprehends. As an equestrian brain injury is a topic which comes up too often. I hope that my fellow horsey-friends will see this film and reflect on what it may mean for them. Watch it.
There you have it. You're welcome.
