  Joe Berlinger's latest documentary Crude: The Real Price of Oil is one of many Sundance premieres that we weren't lucky enough to catch earlier this year, but the good news is that it will be coming to select theatres this September. I have to admit that without Berlinger's name on it, it would probably seem like just another movie about pollution and environmental disaster. However, when one of the guys behind Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2 gets involved, you know there must be an important and compelling story here. Indeed, this is an investigation into one of the ...

  It was a recent Twitter add by documentary filmmaker Jenny Abel that reminded me what a total douche bag I am; I never published an official review of her hilarious film 'Abel Raises Cain'. We receive a good number of films here at The Documentary Blog, and although we unfortunately can't get to all of them, I DID watch Abel Raises Cain and I DID enjoy it a great deal. So why isn't there a review for it on the site? Good f*ck'n question. So, I figured this would be a good opportunity to start a regular feature here on ...

  One of the previously announced titles for this year's Toronto International Film Festival is Under Great White Northern Lights, a film that documents The White Stripes during their cross-Canada tour in 2007. The duo performed in a number of odd venues such as "a Winnipeg transit bus, a Prince Edward Island fishing boat and a British Columbia classroom". Directed by Emmett Malloy (Out Cold), the film appears to be shot entirely in black-and-white, although that has yet to be confirmed. A teaser trailer was posted on The White Stripes official website last week and while it doesn't show much, it hints ...
