Soso Documentary List


Whoever wrote the text for Pierce Brosnan to read sure needed to go back to writing school. It earned the film a soso rating even though it has beautiful imagery. Lots of neat ocean scenery, but watch the ones for kids instead. They are just as pretty with less annoying narration.

Amazon: Deep Blue


Who knew corporations are bad? Evidently these guys did. I agree with a lot of what they're trying to say but the documentary just bored me to tears. Watch Affluenza instead. It's a much better presented argument. The folks on IMDB disagree and seemed to love this one. Well, you might feel different too. Who knows.

Amazon: The Corporation


Just like the previous film, the topics Noam Chomsky presents may indeed be powerful concepts, but listening to him speak ain't for the mildly interested. I found it rambling and dull.

Amazon: Noam Chomsky - Distorted Morality: America's War on Terror?



Huge fan of Bob Dylan? You'll love this. Though I think he's alright, I found the documentary made him out to be a jerk. Or maybe he is one, I dunno. It shows him touring London in the 60's and all the inane questions reporters ask. Coupled with over zealous fans, band controversy over disrupting hotels and other "star" life scenes.

Library: DVD; Bandon. VHS; Coos Bay.

Amazon: Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back (1965 Tour Deluxe Edition)
