Couple Watchable Documentaries.


Ever been curious about the life and times of the swashbuckling actor? Here's your chance. This documentary outlines his rise and fall. He lived a rather exciting life before finding his way into the theatrical profession.

We learn about his Don Juan ways and sailing adventures, plus his brush with being called a spy for the Nazis. He wanted to be called a great actor, but found himself type cast as action hero.

Super big fan of Errol Flynn? You'll love this. Look in Myrtle Point for the DVD.

Look for this DVD from Amazon: Adventures of Errol Flynn


Amish teenagers experience and embrace the modern world as a rite-of-passage before deciding which life they will choose. This documentary explores how they live and how some make the choice.

It depicts a lot of drug use and carrying on among the boys and some sexual exploration among the girls. Seems sad to me to thrust these kids into a world they're ill prepared to handle and expect them to choose wisely.

Some call it an unbiased look, but I just wonder if it's truly this bad, why the police don't simply pick up these youths? What real choices do they have but to go back "home"? All they saw in this documentary was how tough and scary the modern world is.

It's interesting but I didn't develop any affection for the boys and just felt sad for the girls. Look in Bandon for the DVD.

Buy the DVD from Amazon: Devil's Playground
