I was very excited to see this movie, it looked interesting and has a good story behind it. The movie starts out with a documentary, narrated by actor Charles Manson, about the life and times of Charles Manson, the famous and infamous serial killer. This documentary is very interesting and well-filmed, with a lot of great shots. We then follow Manson as he starts his prison escape and during his time in prison, and he is a fascinating character. At the end of the documentary, we get a brief clip of Manson as he leaves prison and we see him as a man, without the drug-addict of the past. This was a very interesting film, and the film was very well-done. I was surprised to see a lot of inaccuracies in the film. I would have liked to see a few more interviews with Charles Manson, and the movie would have been a lot better. However, the film is a very interesting look into one of the most infamous and dangerous serial killers of all time. The documentary is interesting, and the movie is very good. It's worth watching if you are interested in Manson and the prison escape, and it's a good film to see if you are interested in Manson. 8/10

I thought that this film was a wonderful portrait of a young man's love for a forgotten art form. The video interviews with his family members and his peers was wonderful. This film was an excellent look at how the art world came to be, and what it was like to live in the late 20th Century. One of the best things about this film was the incredible music and sound track. I'm a musician myself, and I was amazed at how much this music had to do with the film. It was very powerful, and added to the film very well. I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a film that looks at the art world, and shows the amazing music that it must have been made with. 9/10

Tale of Two Cities, it's a wonderful film, and the direction is outstanding. This film is the best movie about the French Revolution and the Spanish Revolution that I have ever seen. The film covers every aspect of the period of time. It is very interesting and the acting is great. I can't wait for the DVD. A great movie and a must see. I would rate it as 8.9/10.

As you may know, I've been a fan of Joe D'Amato's for a while. I love his use of original music and I love the visual style that he creates. So when I heard he had a new documentary on his DVD, I figured I should check it out. I watched it in a big theater full of theatre-goers. It was a great first viewing. I really enjoyed this film and if it was available on DVD, I would have purchased it. The first two-thirds of the documentary was very interesting and captivating. The documentary is set in New York City. The film is shot in a lot of different locations and in various periods of time. Some of the shots were quite beautiful. The only real problem I had with the documentary was that it did not cover the period of time where D'Amato started out in Hollywood. I thought it was about time he showed a little more about that part of his life. I also thought the film was too short. This film is the first documentary I have seen on the man. I hope that it will be the last.

I have been following this film for years and now that I've had time to reflect I am even more satisfied with my conclusion that this was a unique and thought provoking documentary. It was also completely entertaining. I was inspired and genuinely interested in the lives of the four subjects and their life experiences, which were not always documented in the documentary. I am not a fan of documentaries but I am a fan of the way people are presented in documentaries, particularly the documentary format. The documentary style worked well and added a lot of depth to the lives of the people in the film, not just the documentary format, but also the subject matter. I will be looking for more documentaries that follow the same style of a documentary as this one, such as David Lynch's Blue Velvet or the 2008 documentary "Only Lovers Left Alive". The key themes of this documentary are freedom, faith, and spirituality. It's a shame that these themes are often ignored in today's documentary culture. However, the film does a great job in presenting the positive effects of religion on each of the subjects. One of the subjects was a Jehovah's Witness, who became a Christian after attending a seminar at the New York City branch of Jehovah's Witnesses. She became more comfortable in her faith and felt much more involved in the process of her faith. She was also inspired by her faith, which she realized was more than just a belief system. The subjects of this documentary also discussed the negative effects of religion on their lives, such as going to church every day, their upbringing in a Christian household, and their marriage to a Christian husband. Although some of the subjects did not discuss religion in their interviews, the subjects did discuss some aspects of religion. For example, one subject stated that her husband would not be able to help her because he was still a Jehovah's Witness and she could not attend meetings, despite the fact that they were making great progress in their marriage. Another subject said that their children's parents were uninterested in their children's Christian faith. While I understand the religious perspective of this subject, I feel that the documentary would have been a better representation of their lives if they discussed the negative effects of religion on their lives, and not just on their lives. Finally, there are several themes that are touched on in the film that are applicable to the subject matter of this documentary. The main theme was freedom, which was discussed in the interviews with the subjects. Another theme was the impact of religion on people's lives, and how religion is used as a tool to control people and make them conform to societal norms. Finally, the subject of spirituality touched on the subject of religion in general and how religion is used to control people's lives. All of the subjects were positive and optimistic about the future of their lives. As I said before, this documentary was more than just an examination of the lives of the subjects, but also an examination of how religion affects people's lives, and how religion can control people's lives. I am not religious, and I am not religious of any particular religion. I simply am a person who appreciates documentaries and the idea of telling stories. This film gave me the opportunity to learn more about religion and the positive effects that religion can have on people's lives, and I will be looking forward to more documentaries that follow the same style.

I've been told that a lot of people don't like this documentary because it was so cold. But I think it was cold in the sense that they didn't do any shots of the rest of the town or the people who were in it. The people in the community made it clear that they were very much involved in their community. If you want to see a "white people's" documentary, see the 2004 film "Gangs of New York."

I thought this movie was about a lot more than just movies. This film had a lot of real life experience about the people, the issues, the problems, and the struggles. This film also shows the many things that are wrong with the current movie industry. The main problem I had with this film was the underlining fact that this is a movie. It isn't a documentary. This is a film. It doesn't need to be tied in with reality. The film is for the entertainment of those who have no knowledge of the real problems and issues facing the movie industry today. The problem was that this was only a movie. If it had been based in reality, it would have been a great movie. For those of you who like to watch a movie, do yourself a favor and watch this film. You will be very satisfied with the information and you will leave the theater with a better understanding of the current problems and issues facing the movie industry. Thank you for your time and consideration. ~Vivian~

As a producer of films myself, I would have to say that the documentary on Robert De Niro was a bit more than an eye-opener. I remember watching him in my college English class about three years ago and I asked my teacher if he would like to see what he had done in his spare time. My teacher and his friends then informed me that they were going to present me a film of the film he had been working on. What I took from it was that Robert De Niro was getting better at making films, and he wasn't going to get better just by doing it. That is why I have been so impressed with Robert De Niro as a person and as a producer. It is a great documentary about a man who made some films that he was not making, and he was not getting any better. I have seen a lot of documentaries on Robert De Niro and this documentary is one of the best of them. I don't want to say that Robert De Niro is a genius or anything, but I feel that he is a very good producer. I think that he could have made some films in his spare time if he wanted to, but he decided that he wanted to do a lot of films and I think that he is doing that. This documentary is a really good insight to what Robert De Niro is doing in his spare time. It is also a great insight to how he is able to do what he does. The documentary is very informative, very interesting, and very entertaining. I have been wanting to see this documentary for a long time. I was not expecting it to be that good. It is an excellent documentary that really makes you think about what you are watching and how you should be going about your life. I would recommend this documentary to anyone that wants to know more about what Robert De Niro is doing in his spare time. This is a must-see documentary.

This documentary covers a range of subjects including controversial subjects like the climate change debate, the so called Nazi abuse of women, abortion, the issue of consent, the past and present relationships between the gay and lesbian community, the black and white issue, the issue of sexual violence, violence against the disabled, and the issue of what constitutes a valid marriage. The director has done a remarkable job in getting the message across clearly and without the need for lengthy monologues. The interviewees are not just people to be interviewed, they are people to be taken into consideration. Their lives are a part of this discussion and it is an amazing journey to hear their thoughts on this topic. The documentary is also a testimony of the film making process. All the interviews are in a hand-held style and it is a difficult task to get the best out of such a material. It is an important film and it will be a lot of fun to see people talk about their experiences.

I really enjoyed the documentary "The Long Arm of God". I have read the book and liked it very much. I am looking forward to the film. The documentary is an excellent example of what a documentary should be. It is very well edited and the subjects are well selected. The documentaries topics and questions are not weak but they are not all answered in one time. I especially liked the section about the suffering of the slave women. This was a very sensitive subject. I am also glad to know that some of the slavery documentaries have been made recently. The Holocaust has been a subject of the documentary but I don't think it is covered in detail. I would like to see the same thing done about the 20th century history of the Spanish Inquisition. There are many other topics that I want to see explored in the documentaries. I think the directors have an important role in making them. This is the first documentary I have seen which includes a discussion between all the participants. I am looking forward to the next documentary. The subject of slavery is very sensitive. I think we should be educated about it and not just about the subject of slavery. I would like to see the documentary about how the slaves were treated.

Brett Gelman is a film maker who is well versed in his subject matter. I had never heard of him, until this film appeared on HBO. He is a producer and co-writer for a series of documentaries that he works on. He was once a big film buff and he now writes and directs. This film is about an artist, Pino Palladino, who has been a professional jazz guitarist for twenty-five years. He is a fascinating character and the film is very well done. The film does a great job at drawing his complicated personality. This guy is a real artist. He has a very interesting life and I hope to see him again in the near future. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is interested in film making and especially jazz music.

Praise the makers of this excellent documentary, which documents the fascinating life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. A Cuban revolutionary who traveled throughout Latin America, Guevara (played with ease by the talented James Mangold) changed the face of the Third World through his revolutionary ideas and vision. In this interview, he discusses his journey to Havana, his life in exile, and his impact on the world. This film is a must see for anyone interested in the life of a revolutionary. It is also very informative and intriguing, and it is well worth your time. I highly recommend it.

There is a saying in the business that a good story never gets good reviews. That is probably true here. But don't mistake this film for the story. This is a deep and sometimes even painful look at a situation in which too many of us find ourselves. It is a deeply personal story that is about some very difficult people, people who don't want to be pigeonholed. But they are the only ones who can see things that others don't see. It is also a story about human decency and some of the social factors that are making it happen. I do have a problem with this film. I didn't like it for several reasons. First, I didn't find the performance of the main character, David, very convincing. The idea that a man is made by the economy and society to do the worst thing in order to live a comfortable life, is not something that is shown to us. That was never the case with us, and the film doesn't even try to get us to sympathize with David. He's the worst of us, he's a slave to the system and he's doing something he knows he should be ashamed of. As a result, the film drags on and on. The second problem I had with the film was the writing. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this was a very amateurish script. That's not to say that the film was bad. It was done well, but it was not done well enough to be a good film. It was kind of sloppy in parts, and I think that's where the majority of the flaws lie. The film was too long, and it seemed like it was trying to make a point, but then it seemed to be doing something else, and it was getting lost in the haze of its own story. Also, the film just did not hold my interest enough. It was a tough film, but it wasn't compelling. I'd give it a 6 or 7, but I just don't think it was worth that much. I recommend this film, but I don't think it's a movie that should be watched by anyone, no matter how well you like or dislike the subject.

I first learned about Dziga Vertov through his film "Hulk". I was amazed by the realism of the story. In "Peter Pan", he shows that just because we cannot see, we can still feel. We can still believe. I am a big fan of "The Best Years of Our Lives" and I was disappointed that the movie was only a documentary. However, this film really is a documentary. I was just as amazed by the film. I love the way the documentary takes you through the lives of the most interesting people in the world. I loved the stories of Dziga Vertov and his family. He shows us their life and their struggles. I loved the way he filmed the family's life. I loved how the documentary followed Dziga's family and friends. I loved the soundtrack. I loved the music. I loved the way the documentary told me stories. I loved the way he brought out the incredible stories of Dziga Vertov. This film really shows me something about my favorite director. I was really surprised at how much I loved the documentary. I would recommend it to anyone.
