Title: How to Live Forever Director: Mark Wexler Featuring: Suzanne Somers, Jack Lalanne, Ray Bradbury, Phyllis Diller and more Aging, if we’re lucky, is something that happens to all us. And yet, despite the many billions of industry and consumer dollars devoted annually to anti-wrinkle creams and everything else under the sun to stop the inexorable march of time, it’s a topic we’d at all costs rather avoid than have a honest societal discussion about — witness Sarah Palin’s willfully gross distortion of end-of-life counseling services during the national health care debate, turning them into “death panels” coming to snatch your grandparents out of their homes and euthanize them in the...

Whether human or vampire, there’s no denying we’re all getting older. But surely there must be some way to trick the big D.
In a three-year effort to find the answer to “How to Live Forever,” inspired by the recent passing of his mother and his own maddening obsession with aging, documentary filmmaker Mark Wexler (“Tell Them Who You Are”) set off around the globe to meet the most creative geniuses of our era — with some even dating a bit earlier than that. When watching the result, be prepared for one of the most wild and provocative journeys of your life (pun definitely intended).

This weekend at the box office it's a battle between the first big comedy of the summer and the second comic book movie of the summer. Will Bridesmaids be able to attract both men and women? Will Priest be any better than Legion? It seems unlikely that either film will bring down Thor, but hey, you never know. In select theatres, look for the Will Ferrell dramedy Everything Must Go, Sundance hit Hesher starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman, and the underground dancing drama Go For It!. What will you be checking out this weekend? Priest [1] Bridesmaids [2] Everything Must Go [3] (limited) Hesher [4] (limited) Go For It! [5] (limited) Skateland [6] (limited) Cameraman: The Work and Life of Jack Cardiff [7] (limited) The First Grader [8] (limited) How to Live Forever [9] (limited) L'amour fou [10] (limited) City of Life and Death [11] [1] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822847/ [2] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1478338/ [3] http://www.imdb.

As navel-gazing documentarians go, Morgan Spurlock has nothing on Mark Wexler. His first film, Me And My Matchmaker, focused on a yenta trying to find him the perfect match. In Tell Them Who You Are, he explored and exploited his relationship with his father, Haskell, the famous Hollywood cinematographer. Now that Wexler has rounded 50, How To Live Forever treats us to a feature-length look at the aging process: what it means, how it might be slowed down, and whether that’s a good thing. Like Willard Scott without the jam, Wexler tracks down centenarians, including the world’s oldest ...

Just from the trailer itself, I’ve learned that living forever involves smoking, running, drinking beer, lifting your hands up to the sky, not knowing that you’re the oldest person alive, taking pills, using calipers, and being funny. The forthcoming documentary How To Live Forever is an exploration of old age both from those who have it and those who want to avoid it. It looks sharp and funny, as if Morgan Spurlock suddenly became obsessed with dying (and not dying). Director Mark Wexler looks to have created something truly touching here. Check it out for yourself: // It’s a little bittersweet to see Jack Lalanne on screen after his recent death, but over all this film looks to be playful while plumbing the rusty pipes of an age-old question. How long do you want to live? Source: Apple...
