Directed by Seth Porges and Chris Charles Scott III This review might be for those who have HBO Max because that is where I saw it. I like HBO documentaries, I have seen a few and enjoyed them and documentaries overall. I like that they tell a story like a movie but using real footage…… Continue reading Class Action Park (2020)

Challenger: The Final Flight (2020)
Developed by Steven Leckhart and Glen Zipper I was 6 years old when the tragedy of the Challenger happened. I have vague memories of my mother talking about it as an event that shocked the world and was televised. Because of YouTube I have seen the footage and knew about the teacher that was on…… Continue reading Challenger: The Final Flight (2020)
Transformers War for Cybertron (2020)
Directed by Takashi Kamei Kazuma Shimizu Koji Growing up I loved the Transformers, both the cartoons and the toys. When it comes to the movies I have mixed feelings. The first two are not entirely bad, but it feels more a movie about a man and the military instead of a real battle between the…… Continue reading Transformers War for Cybertron (2020)
Showbiz kids (2020)
Directed by Alex Winter Great HBO documentary about the life of child stars. There have been a lot of sad examples of child actors that after they grow up they are no longer hired in films or just end up in a bad place. There is a lot that does the transition from child actor…… Continue reading Showbiz kids (2020)
The Boys: Sherman’s brother’s story. (2009)
Directed by Gregory Sherman and Jeff Sherman I grew up at a time where movies were available easier than today thanks to video clubs and because of that, I grew up with all the great Disney movies of the ’60s and not only the animated classic. The Sherman brothers provided the music to a lot…… Continue reading The Boys: Sherman’s brother’s story. (2009)
The two Escobars (2010)
Directed by Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist My knowledge of Pablo Escobar really began with the series Narcos. I remembered seeing that show and thinking this can’t be real. And I started looking for real footage and documentaries and amazingly it was all true. I am not a huge soccer fan so I never knew…… Continue reading The two Escobars (2010)
The times of Harvey Milk (1984)
Directed by Robert Epstein I am a fan of documentaries about history and real people. I knew of Harvey Milk because of the film where he is played by Sean Penn. I am never really interested in the political aspect but in the person and his story and sadly this one ended badly. The documentary…… Continue reading The times of Harvey Milk (1984)
Natalie Wood: What remains behind (2020)
Directed by Laurent Bouzereau I enjoy seeing these documentaries because it shines a more realistic look at the “icons” of Hollywood and we get to know them more and also because it inspires me to see more of their work. I had seen Rebel without a cause, but I did not know Natalie Wood starred…… Continue reading Natalie Wood: What remains behind (2020)
The show must go on: The Queen + Adam Lambert story (2019)
Directed by Christopher Bird and Simon Lupton This is definitively an interesting look at Queen after the untimely death of Freddie Mercury. I remember seeing the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992 and to this day is still one of the best concerts I have seen. That is where the documentary begins, that moment where…… Continue reading The show must go on: The Queen + Adam Lambert story (2019)
The long-gone summer (2020)
Directed by AJ Schanck Another great documentary by ESPN. Sports are moments that we as fan never forget, the emotions and the excitement never goes away. Just like The Last Dance brought back the excitement of the Bulls championships, this one brought back the excitement of the Maguire and Sosa home run chase. The film…… Continue reading The long-gone summer (2020)
