I watched all three parts of this (all on youtube, in 10 min segments) over the last several days during lunch at work. Excellent documentary. I could see such a thing for a lot of different cities, including Mumbai, Beijing, etc.

I had a great time with Winnebago man. Thx to whoever mentioned it.

Between the Folds. About some serious next level origami. Only saw the first 20 minutes or so, but shit blew my mind.








This is going to sound pretty crazy if you haven't seen it, but Between the Folds was incredibly inspirational. Like, make you want to be a better person inspirational.

watched this last night, thought it was great.





On the Shoulders of Giants

I really liked it, but might have preferred if it wasn't in 3d. Didn't like the headache and mild nausea.

Must have been posted before, but I thought this was really great.

i loved it, i thought it was extremely profound, and even though i don't love herzog, i thought he only really got in the way of the amazing content he had available to him at the very very end of the movie.





the 3D didn't make me sick, so i thought it was a great addition.

Loved it.

Saw "rejoice and shout" tonight, pretty darn great...some facemelting footage for sure. Good interviews. Recommended. Puzzling there isn't one word nor mention of Sam Cooke however.

I just watched the Tribe Called Quest - Documentary.





It was good but not great. it's a little over an hour and a half, they kept the first hour or so very very basic. Pretty much just we grew up here, we've known each other for this long, etc.. It doesn't really go into them making their albums or anything else really. It's pretty much like an episode of the MTV/VH1 show Driven. The last 30 or so mintues is pretty much Phife saying Q TIp is a control freak and thinks Tribe is his group and Q Tip just says that's not true.





It's was good because it was tribe but there's no nothing in at all where'd you'd say "oh wow I didn't know that."





It was a fun watch.

Can't recommend this one I saw Friday enough:








Saw the trailer for If A Tree Falls and it looks great. Most of this took place here where I live and it looks like this doc does a professional job of exploring and explaining.

 

[ketan]

Follows a group of Danish soliders (some likeable, some very unlikeable) on their first tour in Afghanistan. The filmmakers are literally on the front lines of battle.

 

[ketan]

a complete mindf*ck about a total sociopath. endlessly fascinating and well constructed.

If A Tree Falls is very good. It makes a nice companion piece to Better This World, one of my favorite documentaries of the year; both films deal with earnest leftist activists who end up prosecuted as domestic terrorists:











If you don't already know the story, this one also functions as a thriller/mystery up to a point.

Just watched this. Wow... Didn't know the truth about the famous McDonalds coffee suit.





Tort reform mind blown.

I saw this docutragicomedy double feature at the Silent Theater in L.A. on Thursday. Between his lively, unintentionally funny parents and his tall tale telling heroin addict roadie buddy, it's no wonder why Scorsese has good stories in his filmography.
