I was quite stunned by the actuality of the documentary. I felt like I was watching a real documentary. It really made me question how the world really works. The documentary shows the little things in life that are done to you that you can't even imagine. It is a very humbling experience. I highly recommend this documentary.

The documentary was very well put together. I had the opportunity to meet with both of the producers, and was very impressed with the information and the way it was presented. I also found it very entertaining. I would highly recommend this documentary.

A really good documentary about the life of American Ambassador William Rogers, a key player in the Iranian revolution. It is well directed, has some great interviews and its themes are mostly in the right place. It is quite a remarkable thing that a filmmaker of the stature of Ken Burns can make a documentary about a career diplomat in an era of nuclear arms, a lot more important than the Cold War, the cold war. The whole series is surprisingly well edited, and I had a hard time finding it boring. I know that Burns is not a great filmmaker but this is one of his better ones.

A must watch documentary on the situation in West Bengal in the seventies. This film tells about the social and economic conditions in the state at that time. It shows that the situation was more than just a revolution. The society was under threat. The main characters in this film are the politicians and the peasants. It is a film of love and understanding. The film tells about the problems faced by the people and how they tried to survive in the situation. The film is also a very emotional one, with a strong message. The film shows how the people of West Bengal worked to make their situation better. It also shows how the political situation of the country was changing.

This is a film that was not very well received by the critics but it is a must see for baseball fans. The film includes great interviews with the current coaches and players and it includes a lot of interesting insight into what it is like to be a baseball player. I found the interviews with the current coaches and players to be entertaining and interesting and the film is definitely worth a watch.

I really don't understand why there are so many negative reviews on this movie. It was surprisingly well made, the music was really good and even though the director is not the greatest, he's still a talented film maker. I'm not sure why people are saying that the scenes were staged, they were really quite natural and also well shot. It's not the greatest example of the Cusack movie making career, but it is a good effort. It was quite refreshing to see him in a movie with a purpose. The movie has some really beautiful shots, including a gorgeous one where he plays his guitar in his house. And also a few great scenes with people who aren't Cusack. I am not going to write any spoilers but just know that he does a really good job in his role. The other actors were also good. I really think that all the praise the movie has received are based on the fact that it is a B-movie. And in that category it is very good, it does a very good job of explaining some of the problems that exist in the culture of North America. It is definitely not a movie for the non movie fans, but if you are into music or movies that are based on music then you might find this movie interesting.

I was so looking forward to watching this documentary. I read all the negative reviews here and I thought it was going to be terrible. Then I saw it. It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's pretty good, if not great. I thought it was a great documentary that actually shows the truth behind it. I would say this is a great film to watch. I think everyone should watch it, especially if they have a child who was being treated by a doctor. It's actually pretty graphic in it's presentation, but that's what the doctor wanted. It's a documentary, so the people who don't like the way it's presented are probably not going to like the actual story. There are some things that I didn't like, but not nearly as much as people were saying. The only thing that was different was the fact that the doctor was showing the child for the first time, instead of just taking them to the doctor's office. Also, there was a lot of use of technology in it. Most doctors don't use technology in their office, but it was a great documentary that really shows what it was like working with kids in a hospital.

This is a must see documentary that is a must see for any baseball fan. The cast is excellent, the story is entertaining, and the presentation is flawless. The first hour is as good as any I have ever seen, the second hour makes you feel like you are in the movie. This documentary is definitely worth seeing if you are a fan of baseball. It was worth seeing two times. This documentary is great to watch, and you will be entertained by it. This is definitely a must see documentary.

Just like a time capsule from the past, the movie Behind Home Plate presents some interesting facts about baseball from a time where the sport wasn't nearly as big as it is today. I feel like the movie did a good job of capturing some of the history behind the sport and in this day and age, when baseball is the most popular sport in America. But, this documentary should have had a few more parts to it. I believe they could have explored some of the more important figures of baseball's history, like the major league president, Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron. But, this was a nice start and I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to learn more about baseball.

I am a fan of the movie. It's not a masterpiece, but it's good. It's a very compelling story. It's also about baseball and how it was "kid's game" when baseball was a major league sport. I would definitely recommend this movie.

I really enjoyed this documentary. It is a very good look at the various ways baseball is played and looks at some of the stars of the game. It was great to see Matt Stauffer, whose last book "The Baseball President" was an entertaining look at how he was involved with the major leagues. He is still active as a baseball writer and has done some interviews as well. He also produced this documentary. A lot of the interviews were on the baseball side of things. This also gave us the insight into how some players came to the majors as well as the problems they have dealing with the media and dealing with their families. It is a good insight into how the players deal with the media and their families. There is a lot of background on how a lot of the major league teams look at the media and what their current marketing strategies are. This is a must see for baseball fans. Fans will like the fact that the film shows how the baseball executives look at the media and how they have an issue with it and how they deal with it. Fans also will appreciate that the film is shot on location in a baseball stadium. This is good because fans can relate to it because they have seen the stadium and seen what the atmosphere is like. Fans will also enjoy the interviews with the players and the ones that have written for the major league teams. This is a great film for baseball fans and fans of the game.

As one of the writers of this doc, I was more than happy to participate. But the "story" and "foul language" are taken from another movie. Well, we all know the truth. The movie is so bad that I had to write the movie's short version and include the whole movie to review. So much to get over with. The greatest insult to any smart person is that they "get it" and also do not know it. The same with this movie. I am sure a bunch of you will be critical of the movies and the "gurus". I will not be critical. I only had a good time and hope you do too. I saw this at a "contest" and I loved it.

I think this film is very interesting and it shows how technology has changed our lives. There is a lot of technology in this film, like computers, cell phones, satellite phones, and things like that. It shows that technology has changed our lives and it does that in a really funny way. The film is very good and very interesting. It is not perfect, but I think it is pretty good.

With its mildest satire and wit the film is definitely not for everyone. However, it is well done and manages to do something which I'm not usually able to do with most documentaries. It tells a very interesting story of two men, a young man and his father. Both have gone through the same journey, they have experienced the trials of the new world and seen what it was like to be young and inexperienced in life. The documentary is pretty unique in that it does not treat us as children and does not make it a showcase for the more mature side of youth. It is quite real and so many times I was moved to tears at how the man and his father dealt with life and this is something I haven't seen done very often. The film does show that one can become a carpenter or an architect, a mechanic, a dentist, and many more professions, but these careers don't have the same end result and don't require as much passion and a strong will as is required in the life of a carpenter or a dentist. The film also reveals a few side characters who play important roles in this young man's life, and it is a little hard to tell if they are played by real people, but it's not hard to see that they are real. The film is a little long, it could have been shorter. It does have a few weak spots, but it is an interesting look at a very interesting subject. It tells the story of two men, but it is not one of those "good" stories where a hero comes out of the story. Instead the film is one of those stories where the heroes do what they have to do, and if it isn't pretty entertaining then it doesn't matter, because there is still a message that it wants to get across and it does so with skill. The film could have been shorter, but it is a good documentary, but not as good as some of the documentaries I have seen.

I don't understand why this movie has such a low rating here on IMDb. It's actually one of the better sports documentaries I've seen and that's saying something. In fact, it was even better than that of "The Best of the Best: Baseball" on the WGN channel. The athletes were pretty decent. In fact, they were actually pretty good. They did a great job with the information they had to work with. In the end, I just found it a bit too slow. I wouldn't recommend it for a fan of the sport or even for a general audience. That being said, it's still an entertaining and educational film about the sport of baseball. I gave it a 7/10.

I just got back from a free screening of this film and I was really surprised. It is soooo good. I have been a fan of the character Peter Sellers played for over 40 years and was glad that this film was made. I saw the movie in its entirety and all I could think was "wow". The acting was so real that I had to stop and rewind several times to catch every single character that was on screen. This is the best film I have seen in years and I don't even know how to describe it. It's very easy to follow and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. I was also pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the special features on the DVD. I can't wait to see this film again. I can't wait to see the director's cut! The director did a great job of editing the film so you don't get confused. He also made sure to give us a few hints at the end of the movie. It was a great movie and I really look forward to the director's cut!
