I guess this movie could also go under documentary just like Anvil so i'll probably do both. This movie kept me very entertained and it was informative on where food comes from and how exactly it's processed. Going organic can do wonders, why not try? (5 stars out of 5)

Went to see "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" at the old Kendall theatre today. It was a great movie/rockumentary that followed Anvil and their struggle to be recognized among the greats. At the end of the film you really feel their emotion. (5 stars out of 5)

Saw "The Devil Came on Horseback" today. It is a first hand experience of the genocide in Darfur through the eyes of a former marine captain. This 2007 documentary was a big hit with critics and it's not easy to look away from the graphic photographs he had taken. (5 stars out of 5)

Today I watched "Who Killed the Electric Car?" This documentary points out there were electric cars actually produced in the 90s by GM but hardly anyone would know now. They brought up some good points in this documentary but I couldn't help but fall asleep towards the end. Pure electric cars will happen in another 10 years and be mainstream, but where does electricity come from? Burning coal... we need more alternative energies. (3 stars out of 5)

Love netflix! Got to see another documentary by Michael Moore today called "Sicko". It points out what is wrong with America's health care system and gives you a peek at other countries health care systems and what people think of ours. It's a very good documentary, even better than Bowling for Columbine. I recommend it! (5 stars out of 5)

Watched "An Inconvenient Truth" today. This documentary was released in 2006, starring Al Gore. I liked a lot of the facts that were given which pointed towards global warming, but there's obviously skeptics out there. Even if global warming turns out to be nothing at all (shifting of the poles), the best thing to come out of this is awareness of our own poisoning of the environment and a speedy resolution to rectify the damage we have done. The US is getting there but behind other countries in the race, go figure =P (4 stars out of 5)

Saw "Bowling for Columbine" today. This documentary (released in 2002) is one of many by Michael Moore. Overall I loved it and recommend this to anyone interested, even if Michael Moore is not one of your favorite filmmakers...
