Tiger King (2020)
Waste of Time!
Boring, sensational in the worst way, ashamed to have watched any of it.
Kept thinking there would be a point.
NO POINT to the story at all.
To Begin the World Over Again: The Life of Thomas Paine (2016)
Fantastic Film!! Compelling, timely, thoughtful and moving
Thomas Paine was THE radical founding father who wrote Common Sense, the book that won the hearts and minds of the people over and convinced them to revolt against the English Monarchy, and fight for American Democracy. I found this film to be incredibly compelling, thoughtful and so timely right before this 2016 election. Ian Ruskin brings Paine to life in this intimate film, passionate visionary film. Haskell Weller and his talented crew of filmmakers did a fine job filming this live performance. Elliott Gould's voice as narrator was perfect. I felt Paine was talking directly to me, and learned much from seeing the film. His life was incredible, and so moving. I found it on Vimeo streaming, a DVD is for sale on Amazon and "the Life of Thomas Paine" website and on select Public TV stations nationwide. Highly recommend seeing this film and recommend it to all viewers.
Anita (2013)
It's Time
If you don't remember the Anita Hill story you should see this story. If you remember Anita Hill and the media around the story...you don't really know the story. Speaking truth to power is the sub-title and is the tale of her life story. Amazing how far our country has come since 1991, and how far it still has to go. Anita's bravery in standing up and telling the truth, being a good American and doing the right thing, when she had so much to lose is more than most of us would have the courage to do. From her childhood in Oklahoma, to Yale Law, to DC, and beyond this film by an Oscar Award Winner tells Anita's story beautifully and shows how much she gave up to tell the truth about Clarence Thomas. It's time to open our eyes. See it.
Beowulf (1999)
Cult Classic
A Cult Classic with much history in its making. One worker in Romania building the castle - being paid with booze actually died falling from a tower. Not funny-but shows what filmmakers will do to make a film and save $. This Beowulf is a film to watch with a group of fun friends. It is the futuristic version of the story made by the makers of Mortal Combat. There are wild physical and special effects, with creative set design modeled after Claes Oldenburg. The music for the action sequences was added later by Miramax and some love it others don't. It has a following in Europe and South America, where it had a theatrical release,-those who adore Christopher Lambert, Rhona Mitra, a playboy bunny, and much more- will particularly enjoy it. A I was watching the film I found myself laughing at times when I wasn't supposed to be- but that made it particularly fun. It also shows how a film can be at war with itself- the producer and director at war with each other. The story of much of Hollywood! Be in an alerted state watching and have a blast.
