Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? (Documentary) 20 reviews
Teri Horton
New Line Home Video, 2007
An Enjoyable And Eye Opening Documentary.
+ Great movie, but way overpriced
+ With eyes wide shut
Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? is one of those rare documentaries that really makes an impact. It exposes a certain section of society that some would come to respect without knowing much about it. This documentary exposes the art world and the apparent art experts for the pugnacious morons that ...

A gritty look at a side of foster care everyone wants to avoid thinking about....
As a Guardian ad Litem who has worked with many teens I can say this documentary accurately depicts how poorly we prepare foster youth for adulthood. So many fall through the cracks of the broken system and are so likely to repeat the family cycle that brought them into the foster care system as ...

Super Size Me, Indeed.
+ One of my faves
+ Excellent
My wife and I watched the "Super Size Me" DVD last night. It was the third time we watched it and we enjoyed it very much. Let's face it, Fast Food is a major facet of the American Culture. It's everywhere. Within five miles of our house there are "McDonalds" (2), "Jack in the Box"(3), "Karl's Jr." ...

This a "must-have" for anyone with kids, anyone with parents, or teachers or anyone just wanting to feel good about people again. No saccharine sentiments, just an honest and genuine view of a real family going through all the tribulations and joys of "family".

After Innocence4 reviews

After Innocence, the Machinery that Manufactures Wrongful Convictions Still Operates
+ Every Juror (and voter) Should Watch "After Innocence"
+ simply incredible
I saw this movie in a theater, when it debuted in Los Angeles. I estimate there were between 100 and 150 people in the audience. It would hardly be fair to say the event was a movie debut, without pointing out that the movie debut also appeared to be an event actively showcasing the cause of the ...

I already knew about the horrible events of the Munich games and the deaths of the Israeli athletes at the hands of the fanatic Palestinians, but I was not aware that there were many opportunites to save the Israeli team, but were horribly bungled by the Germans.
This tragedy was preventable, ...

I had no knowledge whatsoever about the history of IVF, so I couldn't be critical of this documentary generally. I am glad that the documentary makers decided that IVF need ed to be a part of the "American Experience."
From one baby in the late 1970s, now 2.5 million people worldwide owe ...
