  I just realized we haven't posted anything about Not Quite Hollywood here on The Documentary Blog so far, but with all the great reviews the movie has been getting, I thought we should probably throw up the new red band trailer to help get the word out. It's a documentary about Australian genre films from the '70s and early '80s, and how absolutely out of control they were. It features interviews with all kinds of people who were involved in the making of these movies (Dennis Hopper, Brian Trenchard-Smith, Russel Mulcahy) to people who were influenced by them (Quentin Tarantino, ...

  It's been five months and I’m still slowly catching up on a bunch of documentaries I missed at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Luckily, this week I received a screener for Liz Garbus’ ‘Shouting Fire: Stories From the Edge of Free Speech’ in the mail thanks to the wonderful folks at HBO, so now I can check one more doc off my 'must watch' list! Director Liz Garbus sits down with her Dad, First Amendment attorney Martin Garbus, to explore the many complexities involved in upholding free speech in America.

  It's still not quite clear what the current status of proposed Arrested Development feature film is; last we heard, it was moving full steam ahead and there were even rumours of a shoot already happening in New York City, but they turned out to be false. Michael Cera recently came out and said that he does think it will happen, but probably not for a while. The good news is that in the meantime there's another Arrested Development movie that fans can look forward to. It's an untitled documentary about the AD fan phenomenon intended to "provide awareness and education ...
