Description Hal Ashby's obsessive genius led to an unprecedented string of Oscar®-winning classics, including Harold and Maude, Shampoo and Being There. But as contemporaries Coppola, Scorsese and Spielberg rose to blockbuster stardom in the 1980s, Ashby's uncompromising nature played out as a cautionary tale of art versus commerce.

If you liked 'Super Size Me', you will probably like this one as well. It is based on a true story about McDonalds restaurants and the people who work there. I was curious as to what the movie would be about. I read the book first and it is very interesting. However, I am not a fan of the book. I don't think it is fair to compare the two books. It has a different story and I think it would be very hard to make a movie with the same story. Therefore, I recommend this movie to anyone who has read the book or watched the movie. It is very interesting. If you don't like it, don't watch the movie. It might be better to read the book.

We get the same storyline in all the films. It is similar to the Ray Harryhausen's Ray, in that there is a powerful force that lives in the atmosphere and keeps it alive. The difference is that this is a documentary and not a documentary on the actual topic of human sacrifice. The story in "Oceans" is about the source of the energy that has kept the planet going for millions of years. The story in "Oceans" is about the relationship between a couple and the potential for conflict that may arise if they are not careful. There is not one person in this film who is a prophet or a true prophet, nor is there one person who has the ability to bring about a change in the world that will make it a better place. The focus is not on that. This film is about the relationship between the couple and the potential for conflict. The story is told in a very slow way, by someone who is an expert in the subject. I am a bit curious about the source of the energy that keeps the planet going. What is it? How does it happen? What does it cost? Who is doing it? Why? The answers to these questions are given by a professor at a university who has studied the subject for a long time. It is interesting to hear that a couple of years ago, she published a book with an essay that was written by a professor who had studied the subject for years. It is also interesting to hear that this professor has made contact with the person who is responsible for making the energy. If you are interested in the topic, I would suggest that you watch this film and read about the people who have studied the subject. You might be surprised.

I'm not sure what's more shocking or disturbing about this film: the fact that these kids did nothing more than play around at a video store, or the fact that the stores are still playing videos made by executives who are supposed to represent the highest ideals of American values. From what I've heard, the kids are "super heroes" and the stores are "super villains". That sounds pretty bad, right? Well, I don't think so. "A&E Presents: The Rise of Diamonds" shows us how the video store business, and the businesses that make up the video store business, are an economy unto themselves. In this film, it shows the co-workers, customers, and customers' parents, the all-too-predictable greed of the mall management, the desperation of the parents, and even the inappropriate language that is used by all of these people. All of the people involved are shown in a very personal way, and they all seem very affected by what they do. I'm a consumer advocate, and I think that this film is a great education tool for parents and teachers, and it should be used by those who care about this industry. I give it an 8/10. So if you're a parent who cares about this industry, you should check it out.

This documentary follows BOTH sides of the hockey arena battle between the NHL and the NHLPA, and includes some facts and anecdotes on both sides of the pond. It is clear that it is very polarizing, with both sides getting plenty of attention. There were several points of contention on both sides, and it is a very exciting documentary to watch. I loved it, but I think there is a bit more to it than that.

From a well-traveled movie audience I have to say I am not surprised to see such a vote on this. It is an enlightening, and certainly not biased, documentary on the plight of the unemployed who have not found work in their local community. Many of them are in Ireland, where there is only one job. Or in Britain, where there is no job either. There are scenes of the unemployed wandering around in parks or areas where they have to pay for the water. Of course they have no money for food. Many have resorted to begging in the city. The film tells the story of a young Irish woman who is in Britain, in a job that is not as good as her local job. She doesn't speak English, and doesn't want to. However, she can't get any money to eat, and she doesn't have a job in England. She is driving a friend to the airport to go to work, but she gets no money to pay for the plane fare. She ends up in the local pub and she reads her local paper. They tell her how she is about to lose her job because she cannot afford to pay for the plane fare. She tries to get someone to give her money, but it is a long way to London. She has no money. She finally gets a taxi to a place where she lives, and she sits in the back seat, waiting for her friend to come and get her. She tells the taxi driver her story. He comes back, and he tells her she can not live in the country because she can't afford to pay for the food. He tells her she must go to London and find work. She finally gets a job as a cleaner in a library. She has to work hard, she tells her friend. She starts to get out of bed in the morning and in the evening. She works hard, so hard, but it is hard work. She is exhausted. She doesn't even make enough money to go to the bathroom, and she doesn't have the money to pay for food, and the taxi driver shows her the same thing. She works until midnight, and then she has to take a train to London, and that too is hard work. I think everyone has a friend like that. A friend like that, it's a hard life. And I think that a lot of people get the feeling that they can not do anything about it. But you can help. The man who works with the unemployed tells them to take the film into the community to show them that there are people who are working. And he shows the local people in the film that there are more jobs in the town than in the whole country. And that the unemployment rate is very low. What we see in the film is a situation in which a young woman is going through hard work, hard work, hard work, and she finds herself in a difficult situation. And she gets the feeling that there are many people who want to help her, but she has no money. And she has to fight against all kinds of obstacles, the poor government, the taxi driver, the people who have given her money. And she must fight against her own weakness. In this film, we see what happens after she has had a chance to help herself, but she gets to know the people who are trying to help her, and she has a chance to use their help. And when she has a chance to tell them what she has learned from her experience, they listen. And then they ask her what she learned. She tells them, about her experience of what she could have done with her life. She tells them that if she had done a little bit more for the people around her, if she had done more for the people who really need help, the people who want to help her, she could have changed her situation, and she could have a better life. And so it comes out that they

I watched this film for the first time when I was 12. I just recently watched it again with a 15 year old. As a 15 year old, I found it very disturbing, but what disturbed me the most was that he was put through the wringer for the rest of his life. He was forced to commit suicide because of the behavior he was exposed to. I'm glad he did it. Most children in school are taught that it's okay to be gay and to be ridiculed and bullied for it. The adults don't care, they are too busy celebrating other people's behavior. This documentary shows what we don't want to see. It shows how not only his parents were in denial, but the entire town of West Orange, NY. There are no words to describe this film. It's powerful, it's devastating, it's real, it's disturbing. It just leaves you with a heavy feeling of sorrow and regret.

Vilma Jolie was a young girl living in Chile who was falsely accused of a sex crime. She made a documentary about her ordeal and published a book based on her life. This film is a few hours long, but is very worth it. Jolie was good, and the film explores the dark side of the legal system in Chile. It is very much like her book, which is more of a documentary. There are many very good interviews with people who have been involved in the case. The only thing that is a little disappointing is the ending, which doesn't really go anywhere. It seems that Jolie decided to end the movie with her about to take a vacation, and the documentary ends with her leaving Chile. It is a shame that she decided to end the documentary after the movie was over, but it is still a very good documentary.

So many great documentaries are being made about the human condition. The film that Mel did with The Shawshank Redemption was amazing and no one has come close to matching it. The director, Mel Smith, brought a very personal documentary about the life of the Prisoner of war, a man named Tim McVeigh, who was a terrorist on the FBI's most wanted list. It was a very moving film that documented the life of Tim McVeigh in prison. As a matter of fact, the one major part of the film that I was not at all impressed with was the part that showed how Tim McVeigh got a job as an electrician, and how he could make some money as a car mechanic and car salesman. I think that the director, Mel Smith, over dramatized the feelings of the people who knew the man, and ruined the effectiveness of the film. The only part that I found to be accurate was the part that he showed the family of Tim McVeigh, the McCallisters, who lived next door to Tim McVeigh. The director also showed the characters of those who were friends of Tim McVeigh. The director's voice was heard in the background when Tim McVeigh was doing the interviews. I think that this was an excellent documentary, and I recommend it to anyone.

This documentary is a rousing, action-packed tour-de-force that is gripping in both its observational and emotional moments. Director and writer Steven Watts knows what he's doing and does it well. He tells a fantastic story of the many violent acts that need to be covered, but do not. By focusing on his subjects, Watts allows the audience to feel the pain of this man, as well as the pain of those around him. The film is fascinating, but then it is emotional as well. Watts really makes you feel the pain of this man as well as the pain of those around him. This is an excellent documentary that truly deserves an award for best doc for 2009. A solid seven out of ten.

What a fascinating study of a man so perceptive and sensitive. The subject is something that I'm interested in and there's a lot of literature on it and I got a lot of information from his book. He's actually a rather big personality himself and an interesting character. However, this documentary is just about the person, not the person. I can't understand why this documentary was not nominated for best picture. There are so many great actors in this documentary and they all do a great job. I don't get the idea that it's the best picture for this documentary. Maybe the Oscar is something that it has been nominated for a lot, but it's just not good enough to win it. The best documentary of 2007, so far.

I have been following the fight against the Vietnam war since I was a teenager. This movie isn't about the war or the times, it is about people. The stories in this documentary are much more personal and heart wrenching than any other documentary. It really gets to you and shows you just how dirty, violent, and destructive our wars are. I think the best thing about the documentary is that you don't need a PhD in American History or a Master's degree to understand it. The question that was raised in the interview with Dennis Pym about how corrupt our government really is is a very good one. A lot of people don't think that there is any corruption, but in reality, we are just living in a republic. The people that are trying to pass the FEDERAL CLIMATE PROTECTION ACT should really start to think about how they want to use the powers they have to destroy the country and do away with our rights as free people. This movie shows you that when the government tries to take away your rights, they are only doing it because they have the power to do it. It really shows you that the government should not be in charge of our lives, and people should be in charge of their own lives. It is not only our freedom that is at stake, but the freedom of our children, who we will have the ability to go to school, to the police station, and so on. I think it is sad that in this country, we have so many people that have the mentality of the government that they don't want to stand up and fight for what they believe in. It is sad because if we did not stand up and fight for our rights, we would never have a country. I really like this documentary because it really shows you the reality of the system, and people are not as stupid as they think they are. There are no winners in a fight, but there are people that are always fighting, and those are the ones that matter.

The idea of this documentary is that one man's arrest is to some degree the fault of the government. It's interesting to see the similarities between the United States and Russia, and this was partly the reason for the title. I am Russian-American, and I felt like I was watching a Russian movie in which the heroes were Americans. It was a little bit like the "Rambo" movie, in which some of the characters were American. It's not that the movie is bad, but the story is not well told. I really wish it was clearer, and I would've liked to have seen more interviews with the people who were arrested. I would've liked to have seen the reactions of the victims, of course. All in all, it's a pretty good documentary, but not a documentary for the audience.

Alpst this is an example of the low budget productions, made from films shot on DSLR and those made in a Hollywood studio with a good budget, but in this case it's a wonderful job, the film is not a "blockbuster" but a special work for the U.S. and the film takes you in a peculiar way, that makes you very satisfied. The cast of the film consists of actors from different countries, I'm not sure if the film is made in another country or if they're American, but they're really convincing. So, I can't say for sure that it's a European film, I think that they were real actors who played real characters. I think that the story is very complicated, but it's very interesting, I can say that I like the music and the photography is also good. I give a 7.5/10

Taking a look at the past, present and future of the South as a whole, "The South" chronicles the rise and fall of many personalities that shaped the South during the last century. The fascinating parts are the interviews with some of the key players, which provides a wealth of information on the various facets of the South that we would likely not otherwise see. For those who seek more, this documentary also provides a wealth of maps and charts, which show the current state of the South, as well as the trajectory of some important historical figures and events. "The South" was a good documentary, but it lacked a great deal of originality, and it was difficult to tell what was going on in each interview. Nevertheless, if one is interested in the area of the South, this documentary could be of interest.

Nights in the worst of times can become a truly rewarding experience. But for those of us lucky enough to have that night, being there to take advantage of it is never quite enough. If we have a night of extraordinary kindness, of incomparable kindness, of music and of humour, it will make up for the earlier horrors that we have experienced. It will be forever after remembered. It is one of the timeless qualities of the human condition that we can find moments when it is so easy to forget the horrors that we have endured. That is, we don't always know that it was our own sins, our own destructive choices that have turned us into what we are. The evening when the children of two teenage girls were murdered by a man who was intoxicated, they found solace in a new friendship and a way of coping with the pain of losing a beloved friend. It is often said that the greatest tragedy is the loss of one's self. The men who took the lives of these girls have done this to the very core of their being. They have brought them back to life in ways that they could never have imagined. They have made them just as they were before their deaths. In this case, the tragedy of loss is as great as the tragedy of loss itself. There is no other way to make a story of this magnitude into a documentary than to make it a story about the people involved. We are all actors in this story. It is the responsibility of each of us to present the circumstances of the deaths as best we can, and to document that in the photos and in the interviews. We have no choice. And for this documentary, we have two excellent men to do that. The first is Eric Braeden, a historian, a man who is now almost a legend in the world of music. Braeden has always been very interested in the life of music and has published books on the subject. He has also written an account of this tragic event. You can find it on Amazon. We talk to him about how the witnesses of the tragedy were interviewed, how the event was covered up. It is a fascinating story, if you are interested in music. It is worth your time. He also talks to the two mothers of the murdered girls, one of whom was not even present at the memorial service for the victims. We learn about their lives, their hopes and dreams. We hear their stories of the children who were involved, and of how their lives were changed forever. We see their photographs of the girls who were murdered. We hear their accounts of the police interviews, and of the handling of the case by the authorities. It is a fascinating interview. We also hear from the sisters' families and their friends. This is where the story really takes off, with the interviews. If you are interested in music, this is a must see.
