  As you may have noticed, we've been trying to redesign The Documentary Blog a little bit as of late, with a focus on making it easier to update on a regular basis. We want to be the best source for documentary films on the web, but in order to do that we need to be able to cover a lot more stuff. This is why we've decided to start up a Twitter account and integrate it with the rest of the blog's content. Now we'll be able to post short headlines and links to the site quickly, while also writing up ...

  One of the disappointing things about Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming Bruno movie is that it doesn't seem to be as focused on poking fun at the fashion industry as his previous segments did on Da Ali G Show. Fortunately, it looks like we may have an alternative of sorts in the form of R.J. Cutler's documentary The September Issue. The documentary is not directly critical of its subject, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, but the trailer definitely seems to play up her reputation as an ice queen and is also keenly aware of some of the excesses of the fashion world. Roadside ...

  If you're a fan of movies, you can't help but love hearing the crazy behind-the-scenes stories of what goes into the making of a major Hollywood film -- the unfortunate thing is that a lot of the best stories go unheard, because no one wants to publicly bad mouth anyone or burn bridges in the industry. Well, somehow Peter Hanson and Paul Robert Herman managed to get an impressive line-up of highly respected folks to sit down and talk about their experiences, specifically related to the topic of screenwriting. The result is the documentary and accompanying non-fiction book Tales from ...

  I've been hearing some good things about Pressure Cooker, a recently released documentary about a well-known culinary arts teacher at an inner city high school in Philadelphia. I'm not quite sure you can call Wilma Stephenson the female Gordon Ramsay, but she certainly has a no-nonsense approach to cooking and criticism, and she pushes her students to do the very best they can. There are scholarships on the line, and the opportunity for students to make a better life for themselves and their families. The movie seems like it will share some similarities with Hoop Dreams and a number of other ...
