#139 – Hot Girls Wanted

Spearheaded by Rashida Jones, Hot Girls Wanted is a documentary that highlights the money made and practices as well as the dirty nature and exploitation of the amateur porn business.  As amateur porn seems to be on an astronomical rise in our culture the need for girls to populate the industry becomes increasingly important and…

#161 – All In: The Poker Movie

A documentary that does a great job of telling the history and the breakout moments of a sport that held the public’s imagination for a brief moment.  Good interviews and storytelling are on display here but the biggest problem is how self-serving the film is to the sport itself.  There are brief stories of the…

#147 – Crazy Love

Meh, an alright story of what the title promises which is a crazy love affair.  Both people are interesting enough and the stories they express raise an eyebrow or two but overall I thought it was somewhat lackluster both in the way it was told and the subject itself. Recommend? I mean, I guess.  Have…

#124 – Thought Crimes: The Case Of The Cannibal Cop

This is a documentary that brings up some serious questions about how crimes can be even thought of in the internet age.  HBO does some incredible work with their documentaries but the filming here seemed pretty subpar.  The subject and the questions raised are incredibly important, I just felt that the quality behind the movie…

#125 – Dawg Fight

I really enjoy Billy Corben as a filmmaker and was looking forward to this documentary about backyard brawls in Florida, but I never could get a handle on what he was trying to say.  This came off more as a hype film than than anything else.  I enjoyed how the film was shot and learning more…

#74 – 20,000 Days On Earth

One of the most original and unique documentaries I can remember, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard’s 20,000 Days On Earth is a chronicle of Nick Cave’s life and career told through his own words and those around him.  There’s a narrative feel to this movie that marks Cave’s 20,000th day on earth and appearances by Kylie…

#75 – Virunga

There are moments in this gripping documentary where I was literally holding my breath.  Tense and spectacular, this movie uses conservation and oil development to tell the stories of these incredible people who put their lives on the line and would die for what they believe in.  A stunning look at a story that probably…

#93 – Going Clear

A seething documentary about the history and practices of Scientology.  Interviews with former members dominate a look into a religion that is really mystery and operates under a shroud of containment.  You can make your own conclusions but the movie definitely comes from a point of view and is gripping in its findings. Recommend? As…

#20 – The Class Of ’92

This was such a special movie for me.  This is the team that grew my passion for the game I love and always will.  A generation of players that meant so much to me and I’ll never forget.  This movie revisited so many memories for me and there’e no way I can be objective on…
