Review of Where in the World id Osama Bin laden?
This latest documentary by Morgan Spurlock uses the humor in the premise of searching for Osama Bin Laden as a way to examine different cultures in the Middle East and the anti U.S. fervor that exists in the region. The end result is an entertaining and enlightening look at the Middle East as seen from a different perspective than what can be seen on the nightly news.
Review of Standard Operating Procedure
Everything about this film stands out. If all you had were the interviews with the participants along with the photos they took, you would have a compelling story. But Errol Morris elevates this documentary with visually creative reenactments and a subtle soundtrack that sets the mood. His use of ghost-like images is especially effective.
Review of Fuel
The film itself is engaging, informative, and visually stunning. Josh narrates the film. He also emlists the help of numerous celebrities to help tell the story. He uses animation to help fill in the blanks.
Review of Dear Zachary
Someone once said that a good story is one that makes you laugh and makes you cry. This film does that and moves you emotionally long after the film has ended. It’s an extraordinary film.
Review of After Innoncence
As bad as it is for innocent men and women to be wrongfully convicted, what happens afterwords is often even more tragic. For one, the people who made the mistakes that led to the wrongful convictions rarely admit to their errors. In fact, they go out of their way to suppress evidence, delay hearings, and whatever else it takes to keep the truth from getting out. Even when the truth is presented, they steadfastly hang on to their belief that the men are guilty.
Review of The Rape of Europa
This documentary is based on a book by the same name by author Lynn Nicholas. The film and book tellthe story of how the Germans, and later the Russians, stole precious artwork, sculptures, and other artifacts throughout Europe for their own personal use. It’s a fascinating story.
