"Lake of Fire There is probably no social issue in the United States more heated and polarizing than the abortion issue. Yet after watching this film you will see that the debate gives room to so many possible different views and perspectives and ambiguity. That may be why the film was shot in black and white. Black and white being a phrase that seems to suggest two options, one or the other. But as we know black and white cinematography actually reveals infinite shades of gray possible in the spectrum between the black and white with rarely any true white or black to be seen. In this film's over two and a half hour running time you see a lot of different perspectives. Some that will seem pretty extreme and absurd to most viewers, some that will seem more sympathetic. Some that will come from very thoughtful places, and some from very emotional places. Some that are full of certainty, some that are full of doubt. One major thing that this movie points out is that the abortion ... " [More]

"Jesus Camp Some folks at the church community I'm a part of, MissioDei (it's Latin for Mission of God, I'm just saying because a lot of people ask), set up a monthly gathering to watch a movie and discuss. The guy who arranged it picked this movie to start with. The idea for each movie was to have a certain theme within it to discuss afterwards, not necessarily picking apart the movie so much as expanding the idea of the themes to how they relate to our lives and neighborhoods. The movie we actually did after this one was Iron Man where we talked about redemption. I was sort of dreading this movie because so many people talked about how angry it would make you. I guess I was prepared for something a lot worse. I wasn't too surprised that stuff like this was going on in our country though. It wasn't any kind of revelatio " [More]

"An email from AJ Schnack reveals that he, in partnership with the Toronto Film Festival’s Thom Powers and Indiepix.net, are launching a new range of awards for “excellence in non-fiction filmmaking.” Prompted in part by general disappointment in the doc community over the Oscar shortlist, a panel of twelve film festival directors have produced a short list of 15 films, which will be eligible for nominations in nine categories. There are four films common to both the Oscar shortlist and this new list: Lake of Fire, No End in Sight, Sicko and Taxi to the Dark Side. The nominations, and the official name of the awards, will be announced at a press conference at the Sundance Film Festival, which you can be sure the Spouties will try to attend. In the meantime, you can peruse the panel, the shortl " [More]

Oscar Doc Shortlist Needs to Be ...

"It’s pretty upsetting when you see more documentaries than most Americans, and yet you haven’t seen any of the 15 docs deemed best of the year by the Academy. This is my case this year, and I guess I was slacking. Or maybe the real problem is that Oscar has shortlisted too many films that haven’t been released commercially. In his IN DEPTH look at the shortlisted docs, Kurt Cobain About a Son filmmaker AJ Schnack points out that only 6 of the films have pursued a true theatrical release and 2/3 have not been available for review by critics nor have they reported their box office. For commentary on Schnack’s earlier analysis of both this year and last year’s eligible docs, check out Karina’s post from last week. So, there’s my excuse. Anyway, I still have many months to see the docs that are most likely to receive the five nominations. My guesses of what I need to see before Oscar night: Sicko, No End in Sight, Lake of Fire, [More]
