Waiting for "Superman"

Many storylines, one of which gets dropped too early, and another which barely gets handled at all.

Nevertheless, the movie certainly succeeds in its job of depressing the viewer about the modern state of public education.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

This documentary following street artists around as they do their thing is exciting & hilarious.

The course of events cause the film to take a turn I don't love-- but I do love the film.

Lord, Save Us From Your Followers

Documentary in which a Christian attempts to persuade other Christians to be more Christian.

Though I'm more of the Bill Maher school, I appreciated this for its moments of humor & beauty, especially the filmmaker's confessional booth at a Portland Pride event.

Capitalism: A Love Story

Michael Moore examines the world around us: mortgage companies getting bailed out while homeowners get kicked out; companies secretly taking out life insurance policies on their "peasant" employees; in general, Life Since Reagan.

Starts out strong & funny and keeps plugging along, until at some point the depression soaks right through you.

The Cove

The man responsible for "Flipper" and the popularity of performing dolphins has dedicated the last 40 years to rescuing the animals from their sad fates, and "The Cove" documents his Ocean's 11-style operation to expose the gruesome deadly operation that kills thousands of dolphins a year in Taiji, Japan.

The government's coverup is as disturbing as the blood-red water & the screaming, and I hope this dramatic documentary has the effect its makers seek.
