March of the Penguins (Widescreen Edition) 438 reviews Morgan Freeman, Charles Berling
Warner Home Video, 2005
Stunning
+ "MARCH OF THE PENGUINS"; EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY FOR THOSE WHO ARE EARTH-CONSCIOUS! + A formal affair, Antarctic style
This movie was incredible and is a must see for anyone who cares about nature at all.
The lengths that the filmakers went through to capture this footage is astounding and paid off well. It is relatively low-key and the narration adds to this sense. Nothing outrageous or over the top like you ...

Dixie Chicks: Shut Up & Sing (Full Screen Edition) 165 reviews Natalie Maines, Emily Robison
Weinstein Company, 2007
Not Ready to Make Nice
+ Shut Up & Ask + Originally bought it for my girlfriend, but I enjoyed it too
After buying a year ago, I finally watched it. And I liked it.
To be fair, I was much more into the mechanics of how they wrote and recorded 'Taking the Long Way' than I was over the 'controversy'. There wasn't enough of that for me.
In retrospect, forgetting the change in the view on the ...

Super Size Me 466 reviews John Banzhaf, Bridget Bennett (II)
Sony Pictures, 2004
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." ...

Bowling for Columbine 1143 reviews Michael Caldwell, Dick Cheney
MGM (Video & DVD), 2003
SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS
+ Bowling for Columbine + The public criticism of a frightful America
Any film that can garner 299 ONE STAR REVIEWS from gun enthusiats be all bad. Why is it any time someone points out some of the flaws in American society and some of its attitudes they are vilified? Surely we are strong enough to take the criticism.
