This is an endearing and sometimes emotional exploration of how one of the worst films in history became a cult classic. Interviews with the director and actors reveal the disparate attitudes they hold towards the film that defined, and often ruined, their careers. George Hardy is a dentist turned actor who revels in his cult status and serves as one of our principal guides, but even he feels a little rebuffed when his role is not always recognized. It is funny, and a little sad, how seriously the Italian director regards his awful film; as the film moves from one actor to the next, bringing us up to date on their lives and careers, it is sometimes difficult to decide whether we should be laughing or crying.

A documentary about cartoonist R. Crumb

There is a new movie out called "Funny Business" it is about cartoonist that have their work in the New Yorker. The website is http://funnybusinessfilm.wordpress.com/whats-new/

This movie shares the history of deafness and the Deaf community in America. It offers a view of deafness and Deaf culture that will make you think and understand this disability in a whole new way.

As I love to play scrabble and just picked up Banangrams! for the students to play during lunch. This movie looks like it is right up my alley. I will have to watch it over winter break. 

I did not think this movie was going to be very interesting, but we watched it. It was really well done and sucked you in from the get go. 

This was the most suspenseful film I had seen in a long time. Even though the outcome is somewhat given away by the fact that he is interviewed throughout the film, I still couldn't stop watching!

This is the Review for Urgh! A Music War which is a Punk and New Wave Music documentary.

This is a review of the documentary Sound and Fury. It documents the struggles of a deaf family when their daughter wants a cochlear implant. This documentary has and will spark lots of debate and emotion.

I agree that it is a very good film about how the deaf community feels about cochlear implants. The follow-up film is also excellent.

Certainly one of the most disturbing documentaries I've seen. Looks at the food industry and what their practices are like, and how these practices affect us as consumers.

This isn't a film I would recommend showing to young children if you want them to continue eating meat. Disturbing scenes of the treatment of animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses.

I found this film to be a game-changer. I tend to made much more careful choices about food than I did before I watched it. Having been an on-again/off-again vegetarian for years, it didn't seal the deal for me in that way, but it definitely made me a more considerate consumer. My father hasn't eaten chicken since he saw the film - and I imagine his reaction is similar to that of young children.
