What the BLEEP do we know.

 

The Take

Protocols of Zion
Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky

 

How about 'One Day in September', my all-time favorite. It's about the hostage crisis at the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics. Very engaging and a killer soundtrack.

Also 'Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room' was excellent too, and you don't any business or economic background to enjoy/appreciate it.

Imelda.... shows how truly evil the bitch is (Imelda Marcos, Devil Queen of the Philippines for those who aren't already in the know)

 

nice site Inquiring

 

"The Men who killed Kennedy" by the History Channel.

I wonder, did they ever release the 6 episode DVD set?, inwhich Johnson is supposedly implicated in Kennedy's murder? All I can find is the 5 volume set, since Mrs. Johnson treathened to sue T.H.C. if it was ever published.

 

on a less intellectual side

Riding Giants - a surfing documentary on the history of big wave surfing. Profiling surfers like Laird Hamilton and Greg Knolls and Jeff Clarke. Profling wave breaks like Maverick, Oahu and Waipea Bay

 

Hahaha we just rented that this weekend! Too funny.

 

I really liked The Rise and Fall of the Symbionese Liberation Army. As a european I wasnt familiar with the story of Patty Hearst

 

Go Further

 

The Thin Blue Line was an outstanding documentary directed by Errol Morris


Randall Adams was convicted of first-degree murderer in Texas but was completely innocent.

Had the film not exposed the flaws in the prosecutions case, he'd still be rotting in prison behind bars for a crime he didn't commit

Documentary film are good enough to watch...we learn everything and knews something....One of the greatest documentary film I watched was the Julien Temple's The Filth and Fury (Sex Pistols)Temple forgoes the conventions of music documentary, opting for images that broaden the story rather than simple illustrations.The film drags somewhat after its brilliant first half, primarily because we become inured to the delightful jolts of its juxtapositions.Worse, the film's strict chronology means that its second half focuses too intently on Sid Vicious, the bumpkin who replaced Matlock as bassist towards the end of the band's career.

The Filth and the Fury resists mythologizing him (unlike Sid and Nancy, which in its compassion inadvertently creates tragic role models), but the film never recaptures its momentum after his arrival.

Another upcoming documentary film of Julien Temple: The Future is Unwritten..which will be release this summer at cinema...
Don't miss it
