Shout Factory Theatr, 2004
How the Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll Generation nearly killed Hollywood...
+ A Glance at the Second Golden Age of Cinema
As a glorification, and explanation, of the wonderful 70's Hollywood industry, it's a great little documentary. Plenty of clips from films, interviews with major players, and a decent time line of the indies that left some indelible cultural marks on the country. Sadly the people glorifying this ...

Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies 3 reviews Dustin Hoffman, Farley Granger
Sony Pictures, 2001
A fascinating man!
+ A Unique Look at a Unique Man
Apart from all those jokes that people made about him fracturing of the English language, he was a determined and very interesting man.

Flesh and Blood: The Hammer Heritage of Horror 3 reviews Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing
Image Entertainment, 2004
Bloody Okay!
+ Classic Hammer
The documentary is interesting, of course, but it seems to be sort of a budget production, with archival material that ranges from acceptable to, well,... scans from cheap horror magazines. More, a lot of it appears to have been transferred from videotape. Considering that the Hammer movies ...

George Stevens - A Filmmaker's Journey 4 reviews Jean Arthur, Fred Astaire

George Stevens, Jr. pays loving tribute to his father in GEORGE STEVENS: A FILMMAKER'S JOURNEY.
The documentary opens with a scene from Giant (1956) and quickly segues to a scene from Alice Adams (1935). Appropriately enough. Alice Adams was his first big feature and Giant was the next to ...
