  Love him or hate him, there's no question that Michael Moore has played a role in the recent increase in the popularity of documentary films. His humour injected, politically driven, and openly biased projects have been both critically praised and publically criticized. Claims of stretching the truth, exploiting his subjects, and overly aggressive filmmaking have left audiences polarized, forming a love/hate relationship with Flint Michigan's most famous export. There's been a number of rebuttal documentaries which have challenged some of Moore's claims, and I was just about to add Manufacting Dissent to that list. But then I watched the trailer, ...

  With Jesus Camp having already hit store shelves (good luck finding it), DVD details for the second of the two Oscar nominated, religious themed documentaries have been announced. Amy Berg's 'Deliver Us From Evil' will hit stores May 8th through Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Here's the synopsis: “Over the years, O’Grady successfully exploited mothers and fathers in order to get to their children. His penchant for sexual mayhem was ...

  After a good month of some solid Guitar Hero action, I gotta say i'm pumped for the upcoming film, Air Guitar Nation. As i've said before, i'm a sucker for tournament style films, and I can't wait to watch two grown men flailing their invisible axe around on stage in hopes of fame and glory. Actually, i'm pretty interested in finding out what exactly makes a good air guitar player. Do you get bonus points if your fingering and strumming are correct? Somehow I think it's all about style, and based on the trailer, it seems some of these people ...

  I've got a special place in my heart for both b-movie's and documentaries. So i'm sure you can understand my excitement at the news of director Elle Schneider's upcoming film 'The Boy from Out of This World'. According to the press release, the film has begun production in Los Angeles and will focus on the making of Tom Graeff's 1959 monster movie Teenagers From Outer Space. So far there seems to be a pretty cool line up of interviews for the film, including Mystery Science Theatre 3000's Michael J. Nelson and one of my personal favourite people in the world, ...

  I'm sure there's some people out there who are used to the idea of 'Governor' Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I can't say i'm one of them. I mean, really? Arnold Strong? I guess I haven't really followed his political career that closely, so maybe i'm just being cynical. If Jesse Ventura can do it, I suppose Arnold can. Well for those of us who are still wondering how all of this came to be, Director Dan Cox gives us the brand new documentary 'Running With Arnold'. Here's the synopsis: Running With Arnold is a politically-charged documentary that tells the fascinating and humorous ...
