the red chapel (available on netflix streaming) was interesting to see how north korea deals with an outsiders, specifically one that is handicapped. supposedly they were able to get a lot of what he was saying out of the country because the censors could not understand what he was saying.

watched "mr. untouchable" over the weekend. it's a great story, but they left so much info out of the documentary that it was kind of annoying.

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

Seriously, that shit floored me and made me want to smash my TV. I think it's on netflix streaming.

I watched "Dear Zachary" over the summer. It's devastating.

I just saw "Capturing the Freidmans," which is really a provocative film, despite the unsavory subject matter.

watched "shut up little man" last night. pretty interesting story.

In 1987, Eddie Lee Sausage and Mitch Deprey recorded the nightly squabbles of their over-the-top neighbors, homophobic Raymond Huffman and proudly gay Peter Haskett, and the chronicle of the pair's bizarre existence soon took on a life of its own. This darkly funny documentary checks in with former punks Eddie and Mitch, who detail their late-'80s Lower Haight surroundings, and surveys the tapes' influence on an array of underground artists.

I watched "Senna" a couple of weeks ago and it was really good, especially if you grew up watching F1 on ESPN. I didn't realize that I had basically watched his whole career. Some amazing footage and insight in it.
