1. You can’t take your eyes off it! - I Got a Monster is a must-see documentary that expertly weaves interviews, archival footage, and reenactments into a cohesive and immersive narrative. The direction and scriptwriting are outstanding, leaving you on the edge of your seat. The pacing is perfect, and the tension builds steadily throughout the film. This is true crime storytelling at its finest. Five stars!

2. How’s Baltimore doing in ? - Yikes! I went to DC in for the Biden/Harris Inauguration to celebrate the removal of Trump. I was staying in Baltimore. If you’ve never been to Baltimore, it’s like a rd World Country. I’ve never seen so much destruction in the Black Community since I left NYC in to join the military. And I was raised in the Crack Era of Queens. Baltimore needs more Police, more Prisons, and literally, save the Black Community from itself. It’s a shame to see…..

1. Very enlightening! - I see a lot of negative reviews here, I’m sure the government is hard at work making sure there’s nothing but nasty reviews! I for one believe this is the perfect video to enlighten everybody on the system. Especially the secret government most people don’t even understand who controls the strings, the central banks, and WEF set the agenda! We don’t need fossil fuels, because we’ve had the energy for over years to free this planet! Those in power want to stay in power! People should learn about Nikola Tesla! If you’re tired of not understanding, how it all comes together, you can find it right here! The second half is where it really gets good!

2. UFO, rinse, repeat - Barely scratched my UFO itch. Same info we all know already. And I don’t trust Third Phase of Moon because of seeing years of their bogus CGI. Unfortunately they are involved here. I’ve been studying UFOs for years and conclude that they are real and non-human. But this documentary doesn’t advance the topic in any way and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it as an introduction to the topic. But I’ll still probably buy their next one, and the next one, ad nauseam, because I’m the sort of sucker they rely on. Watch Greer’s UNACKNOWLEDGED or James Fox’s THE PHENOMENON instead.

3. Greer show - If you want to hear Steve Greer say the same things over and over for hours with barely any ufo/uap videos, this is for you. There’s not much new info. These interviews that they have been talking about having with congressmen are barely shown. Its just - different people (mainly Greer) talking about the shadow government mixed with b roll film like in every other Cousins brothers productions. Minimal evidence is actually brought up. All speculation. The extra star is just because they actually want to get this info out. But it doesn’t help the movement just to just let Greer talk for the majority of this highly anticipated doc.
2023-03-16

4. Good contact, lousy music - I don’t understand why this wasn’t made without the loud background music. This distracted from the content. I like some of the other films that Greer made. It was difficult to follow. If you lower the volume you can’t hear what people said. I was a little disappointed.

1. This documentary is EYE OPENING - Don’t let the negative reviews fool you. This documentary films a dinner party hosted by the creators of RaceDinner, Saira Rao and Regina Jackson. Ten white women who are WILLING PARTICIPANTS agreed to be a part of this SOCIAL EXPERIMENT which questions the racism that exists in our society, especially among white women. I put those things in capital letters because it seems that some of the reviewers are under the impression that these women were baited or somehow tricked into this discussion. The corresponding book; White Women: Everything You Already Know about Your Own Racism and How to Do Better is a national NYT bestseller and for good reason. It breaks down how we as white women have been USED by the patriarchy and white men in particular, to continue to perpetuate that we are a superior race, which causes so much heartache, blame, and confusion. Most of us ww truly do not understand how we are unconsciously (or consciously) upholding white supremacy and the patriarchy in our day-to-day living. READ the book. WATCH the documentary. Keep your mind open and your defenses down. Learn from it! This information could actually help to make our world so much better… And who doesn’t want that? (Well maybe cis white males, right wing politicians and their followers, etc)

2. This is not worth the watch for so many reasons. - Please do not watch, or if you do understand, mass conversation points remain omitted because they do not suit the presentation's narrative. There are points of view from the presenters that are neglectful of much. A better option is Dark Girls. It covers specific topics in a more valuable and meaningful way.
2023-03-01

3. Waste of brain cells and oh yeah you’re a racist if you’re white. - Waste of time. Only watch if you want to be told because you’re White your a racist. Wonder if the Jamaican family members think that I am?? Sad that if I made a film about how black people are inherently racist towards whites/asian etc the heat that I would take.
2023-01-06

4. Ingenius! - The way Saira and Regina help white women open their eyes and see the inherent racism they benefit from is simply ingenius, oftentimes just asking them simple questions like "who would you rather switch places with in society?" This film is a gift to us all and hopefully sparks even more conversations about our deep-seeded ideas of racism and how we each subconscioulsy believe we are "good" and others are "bad" rather than confronting that we are are all brainwashed into a system of racism.
2022-12-13

5. A Must Watch - This is an excellent film and a must watch for all white women. I experienced discomfort at times, but facing this discomfort is crucial for change to happen. White women need to remember that discomfort is not going to kill us, but white supremacy certainly kills BIWOC and we need to take an active role in dismantling it. Ultimately, this film left me with a sense of hope.
2022-12-11

6. Fantastic - too bad it wasn't more recent - I thought this was great, and showed what I've known all along as a white woman: too many other white women are ignorant to what's going on. I don't find it to be satire in any way. The endeavor was powerful and needed. The only thing I wish they did differently is to film a dinner after George Floyd was killed in order to see how that event changed how white women emotionally dealt with and acknowledged that tragedy.
2022-12-04

7. Communication Is Key! - This is an important piece of work. It shows the effects of racism in all our lives. We are stronger together than divided. Those in power want use to fight amongst ourselves so that they can stay in power. When we fight racism in the face of opposition, that is when we know we are truly making a difference. This film shows the true costs of racism. Even if only one or two minds are opened, that is what makes the difference.

8. Necessary Viewing For All White Women - Step one in deconstructing your racism as a white woman, is acknowledging your complicity in white supremacy & privilege, and being wiling to hear the hard truths without defensiveness. Deconstructing Karen features a dinner with white women at different stages in that process. Saira Rao and Regina Jackson graciously share vulnerable moments from their own lives in order to try to help these women understand how their “color blindness” is actually incredibly destructive. At the point of filming this, they weren’t sure they would be able to keep their business afloat because not enough white women were willing to pay a frankly nominal fee in order to learn how to do better and help dismantle white supremacy. And DK makes it quite clear that there is no chance of the system being dismantled without white women having honest conversations and confronting each other about their internalized racism. The courage, bravery, selflessness, and utter tenacity it takes for Jackson and Rao to do this work is astonishing. As a white person, I will never be able to fully comprehend how they do it, but I am eternally grateful to them for it. I suppose that’s part of the system of white supremacy though; because of the color of my skin, I don’t have to spend precious emotional energy teaching others how their words and actions/inaction affect my life and livelihood. Deconstructing Karen centers around a dinner with Rao and Jackson confronting ww about their racism, but it’s so much more. It also explores instances of white women being directly responsible for incredible harm towards and erasure of Black and brown people throughout history. The truth is ugly, but necessary. If reading this review makes you uncomfortable: good. That means it’s for you. Rent/Buy it and watch it with a group of your white friends. Challenge each other, challenge yourself. In addition to this documentary, Regina Jackson and Saira Rao have a book (an excellent companion to the film) called ‘White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How To Do Better.’ Fellow white women, we MUST do better.

9. The Most Empowering Resource Today - It is the most resourceful tool that galvanized my inner Asian-American identity. It’s superb, educational, empowering, and uncomfortable media I’ve ever seen. Thank you Regina and Saira. Thank you for waking the ef out of my personal advocacy and allowing me to use this tool to stand up for the racism in and out of my circle. (This is my first iTunes review)
2022-11-27

10. Amazing and Necessary!!! - Regina Jackson and Saira Rao do an amazing just at having a dinner conversation that creates REAL conversation, whether the guests appreciate it or not! White Women, we need to always have these conversations with each other! I just rented this movie but now I will purchase and have it to own!!!! America Wake up, white supremacy Hurts Us All!!!!
2022-11-27

11. A Must See - We, white women, must start by listening and validating BIPOC’s lived experiences and acknowledging our racism. Saira and Regina’s continued willingness to model courage and vulnerability even after receiving death threats and messages full of hate is nothing short of remarkable. I want a better world for my children, and I believe we white women have the power to be changemakers in this work. Saira and Regina’s final thoughts in the film left me feeling hopeful. My fellow white women sisters, please watch this documentary and do the work.
2022-11-26

12. Profound movie made with so much heart. - It's a less jarring intro to the the concepts in Regina Jackson and Saira Rao's deeply impactful book, White Women. I'm asking you and my other fellow white women to watch this then read the book and get your friends and family to watch this. Have these discussions and take action to dismantle the system that harms everyone and actively work to reduce harm to those we oppress. The creators have put themselves in harm's way to bring us this gift, so let's shoulder our fair share!
2022-11-25

13. Highly Recommend for Any Willing White Woman - It’s so interesting to me the backlash against this! What are you afraid of? Watch it and notice how it makes you feel. For me it was an uncomfortable but ultimately freeing conversation. It’s easy for me to compare myself with people who I view as “more racist” and therefore feel better about myself. I definitely have feelings to sit with/process afterwards. I also recommend the accompanying book “white woman” which goes more into depth.
2022-11-25

14. Watch it - Before you jump on here and trash it, actually watch it, listen, learn. If after you’ve done this if you feel a way…GOOD, that’s the idea. It’s suppose to be uncomfortable, it’s not about your discomfort, it’s about necessary change! We’re past talking nice to people about racism, it isn’t a NICE topic, it’s rough, evil, and America’s history!
2022-11-25

15. White lies matter - White supremacy is the biggest lie. Benefiting from systemic racism is a secret white people won’t admit to. Listen to the lived experience of a black woman and a brown woman without being defensive. WITHOUT BEING DEFENSIVE. This documentary is beautifully produced, filmed, and edited. I will watch it again!
2022-11-24

16. White Women - watch this - This documentary is done with so much love and hard work. It is hard work for us white women to watch and absorb; it is hard for brown and black people to continue to believe in us; it is hard to switch our brains to understand that our equities are tied. Watch it and learn.
2022-11-24

17. A must see for all women but especially white women - This documentary is great mirror for white women. White women are the face of feminism in this country. Because of that, all women are treated as second class citizens because every election white women choose to uphold white supremacy and patriarchy. Do better white women. Be better. Our future, your daughters futures, depends on it. -Shaterria Turner

1. A must see. - This is what happens to political zealotry gone way off the rails. Anyone who watches this and calls it propoganda is either missing the point of this documentary or needs serious help. This was mass murder of innocent people (including children) and over what? Unfortunately we as a country are not out of the woods. Jan is proof of that. We have to learn to live with each other’s differences (politically biologically etc) or we are doomed to repeat these kinds of atrocities over and over and over again. The events of that day was not an act of peaceful protest. It was heinous murder and is not anything to be applauded or minimalized.

1. Good but incomplete. - This documentary covers everything up through the first movie. It does a great job with the material it has, but it feels less "definitive" with no time given to the second and third films, the live action TV series, the CG TMNT movie, the animated series, the current animated series, the current IDW comic, and all of the video games.

1. Endearing Baseball Documentary - This documentary shows what makes a legend a legend. What makes a human a human, and what makes baseball records timeless. If you are too young to have watched Nolan Ryan pitch, watch this, if you were not, watch this. Even if you are not a fan of the game, I would expect it difficult to not appreciate Nolan’s accomplishments as an athlete, a husband, a father, and a person. The final minutes got me emotional, Hands down the greatest power pitcher in history. The likes we will never see again. A must see for any baseball fan.
2022-08-07

2. Unbelievable documentary - This is a rare documentary in the sense that it inspires, educates and entertains all at once. Sure, baseball fans will get all they could want and more, but it’s the personal relationships and triumph that make this a must watch for people of all ages, including those that don’t care about baseball!
2022-07-20

3. best documentary i've ever seen - While this is a no-brainer for baseball fans (Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Dave Winfield, etc.), what surprised me was how perfect a documentary it was covering the life and relationship Nolan had to his wife, Ruth, and his family. This could seriously win some awards and go down as one of the best documentaries of the year in every category.
2022-07-19

4. Don’t miss this! - We drove hours to Arlington to watch this film Took of our grown kids and grandkids. Rangers won, Nolan and family were there. And the film brought so much emotion from the past that some of us had happy tears and the younger generation developed an interest to find out more about this great player, great man and great game.

1. Skip this Movie, Read the Book - I really liked the book so I had high hopes for the movie. But… I decided to stop watching because I couldn’t get past how much this movie is really just a very public therapy session about how he did a lot of messed up things, figured out how messed up they were, got his priorities straight, and then wrote a book about it. The book was much more enjoyable and had a greater impact on me. Skip the movie, read the book.
2023-01-19

2. Very Self-Indulgent - I was so curious about this movie, as I have seen the book EVERYWHERE for a while now and yet, twenty minutes in and I realize how self-indulgent this is. Nothing particularly deep here, nothing that expands your mind. The concepts are pretty bland. Mark Manson is engaging, but unfortunately the movie is not.

1. - For the troops - Thanks to politicians & generals, the US has not won a war since WWII. This movie shows why - I am a Marine VN vet (Ret) and tho we lost in that war (again!), there is this: we didn't coddle village elders who knew exactly what was going on with our enemy. Enemy stongholds, i.e., villages were destroyed to give no safe haven to enemy. So, let's comtinue to mount hugely expensive wars & ops, depriving life & limb, only to disbandon the effort a few months later! Yup, tried our damnist to win hearts & minds in VN but when it didn't work, well.... The most significantly idiotic statement in this doc was something to effect of: How can we go fight in an area we are unfamiliar with.........
2021-03-04

2. Must Watch for Combat Arms - I saw a lot of reviews saying that everything done here was pointless but as I’m watching this, I see what they’re trying to achieve. It’s definitely a must watch for anyone who just joined a combat arms job or is thinking about joining. It doesn’t romanticize war, it shows the reality of what war is like. I will recommend this to anyone I meet.
2021-02-16

3. Speechless - I’m a film fanatic. I’ve seen pretty much every picture at one time or another. There’s never been a documentary or feature that impacted me to this degree. Not even close. It felt like someone physically punched my in the gut. To characterize what Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger accomplished here as simply a movie really doesn’t do it justice. This was an experience. It’s one I will never forget and one that I don’t want to forget. It reinforced my disdain for war while dramatically enhancing the empathy and understanding I have of the soldiers who fight in these horrific conflicts.
2019-04-11

4. Belongs in a special category I call “Required Viewing" - When you get into the real belly of the real monster that war is, it should make you wiser. Among my many thoughts were, “if GoPro cameras came into existence years ago, showing us the horror and in some cases, folly, of war, we’d have made much wiser choices about it over the years.” It was just heart breaking to witness these young men enduring all the stress of combat and the heartbreak of seeing some of their brother soldiers die in front of them. (Now we need a documentary that details the outrageous spending required to maintain and further our massive Federal Death Machine.)
2015-07-10

5. War Is War And Always Hell - This movie should be required viewing for every American. We need a reminder that when we go to war, or invade/intervene with some military action (perhaps not formally termed "war"), human damage is unavoidable and long lasting. Any number of reasons could be responsible for what I believe is a kinder gentler portrayal of America's wars in the past years. Restrepo breaks the mold. Small things stab deepest: the anguish on a strong soldier's face when he hears news of the ambush, how young they all seem, not knowing what local to trust, the language and cultural barriers, and more. I desperately wanted the three soldiers dancing in their shack to be transported home. "Why aren't they clubbing and raising Hell here like American boys should be doing at their age?" My question is not intended as a political one. It is emotional. War is easier to accept when reported as statistics dying to fight an enemy. The up-close and personal reality - not so much.
2014-03-26

6. Great - I can't say anything negative about it, this is a great movie. I recommend it to anyone that has someone special to them in the armed forces. It's touching. It's eye opening. It makes you really appreciate them. I have an army boyfriend whom I love. He's in this video. & I know a little bit more about what he does now.
2013-06-13

7. Unappreciated - Too many people now days take everything for granted, no one cared about our soldiers anymore, it's sad. I think this is a true masterpiece of art that everyone should see, I did cry when sergeant Rugle was killed, because I have too many friends in Afghanistan today, and will one day be there myself, this is by far the best film that can be depicted of this ongoing conflict, hooah to the rd I hope to join y'all some day... God willing.
2012-11-29

8. Unbiased and focused on the soldier - It is rare that a military documentary does not have a political slant to it. This does not. It focuses on most important thing in a war. The soldier. We see them as people. The fathers, sons, brothers and friends they are. We see their fear, frustration, boredom, fun and creativity. You must see it.
2012-05-27

9. Awesome - This really hits home. I have served over there, and I definitely miss my friends I lost. Hey Vietnam guy, there is a point to this documentary...it's called showing people what people we go through. Yes, Vietnam saw a lot more combat...but who cares? It's still war! And they are only acting like its a "video game" because it's their way of getting through it. So get over yourself and have some respect.
2012-05-03

10. Anyone remember our fathers and uncles - I rented this because if the reviews...highly disappointed. It is sad to watch a group of kids treat war like it is a video game. Talk to a vietnam vet who has seen this movie. The amount of action the average man in Vietnam saw compared to these kids...??? No real point to this doco

1. Huge let down. - I've never watched a movie with such competely "misguided" reviews. This isn't what I was expecting AT ALL, and that's not meant to sound like a good thing. Guy goes to prison; guy discusses his life story. There are NO twists or turns; no shocking revelations; no thrilling moment of suspense. Literally, just a dude in a chair discussing what it was like for him in jail. % rating on Rotten Tomatoes is rather puzzling. The whole time I waited for "the other shoe to drop" and it simply just ends without anything strange about it at all. In short, this was a bust.
2016-06-14

2. Really interesting! - His story is truly incredible and it's hard to think this can happen to people (without giving away spoilers). I really enjoyed this and was surprised how good his story telling was. I am envious of how he was able to read so many books in his solitude. I know % of what he went through was terrible and he while I don't want to put words in his mouth he would probably give anything to get all of that time back. But while it is no comparison, I sometimes wish I could be left alone with no responsibility and could spend all of my time reading, reading anything and everything I wanted to read. He has accomplished a lot and in fact more than some people. In the end, the justice system needs an overhaul.

1. More than a little disappointing - We were very excited to watch this at home as we had missed watching at the cinema. The first mins was interesting to watch but as the movie went on it lost our interest. We just about made it to the end a real shame as we both grew up from the start of the Bowie era.
2022-11-20

2. Some interesting moments but not that many - I am a Bowie fan. Love the last concert video/ movie of concerts he had done. That was the Bowie I liked. The early stuff was a staged show of LSD emotions. And thats what you have here. Snipits of Bowie and then an acid flashback trip and performance art and backdrop filming of performance art shown on stage during songs. Nice to see Mick Ronson again. He took a long time to get recognized into the rock and roll hall of fame. But he went literally from garbage man to the top of his profession and truly deserving of all time. He was a virtuoso! Gone too soon. This has a few early pics I had not seen of young David Jones. And a couple video clips of interviews. Earth moving documentary.NOPE. But a semi interesting look into the past as there will be no new footage or concerts and we are left to absorb pieces of what he left us with and I do like to absorb it all as the man the icon who was gone way too soon.
2022-11-18

3. Incoherent garbage. - If you’re looking for a music video with snippets of thoughts, this is for you. If you’re expecting an actual documentary that pays homage to one of the greatest rock icons of all time; forget about it! This is perhaps one of the most incoherent messes I’ve ever seen. It’s like Andy Warhol and Hunter S Thompson did acid together and then had a baby, that was also on acid. Zero stars wasn’t an option.

1. A Captivating History of Modern NYC - A thoughtful and comprehensive breakdown of what problems a growing New York faced and how they were solved. A fascinating in-depth look at how the economic issues and rampant crime were resolved to put the city back on track. If we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it, this is true for NYC or any major city experiencing a growth spurt. I’ve seen the pre-release and I can recommend this film enough!

1. D Movie was... alright - Well first of all, the film was good. But let's be honest it wasn't what most girls/guys were saying on the reviews. It's not PERFECT and it's not as inspirational as I thought it would be. I think they should've touched MORE on their roughest moments and how they overcame it. Also, it just... wasn't very entertaining. I was actually a bit bored, but I suppose there were parts where I was grinning ear to ear. And It was good to watch- but the screaming fans was really making me want to delete the movie. I understand that D is built on their fans but this documentary is about them not the fans, other than those things it was alright. But to me I feel like it wasn't worth my $.. Overall, I give it a THREE stars because it didn't really live up to my expectations which were based off of these reviews.
2016-11-30

2. DIRECTIONERS? yep, DIRECTIONERS! - Obviously, I am a directioner, so I am going to write a long review about them. Okay, fist of all that movies was blooming brill!! I loved every single second, it really felt like I was there with them and it wasn't all cheesy. IT WAS ACE! I watched the movie about times and every time I started even loving it more. I highly recommend this, and I bet DIRECTIONERS themselves already bough it, but this movie was pretty, scratch that, IT WAS FREAKING BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!! xx

1. Absolutely Amazing! stars - Dave is one of the most fantastic researchers I have ever come across. Yes, % genuine and presents you with only the facts and lets you decide. He is a man with honor and integrity, and what he’s done for the families of the missing never be repaid. This documentary is overpacked with facts. I had to watch it more than once, and I was still finding things that I had missed the first time around. Just Amazing. The interview at the end with former FBI agent John D’Souza was terrific. Please forgive me if I’m misspelling his name. I also recommend all of the missing books. I have read, I think, about six of them now, and astounding the amount of cases that are almost identical in every way. Also, his research into the Bigfoot phenomenon is super exciting and has many paralleling details. I know anyone interested in this topic would be shocked to find he has the Hoopa Project is impressive. The forensic artist he worked with was just out of this world, Harvy Pratt. His profile points out this phenomenon, which will help solve this mystery. If anybody can, it’s Dave. To check out his books, go to Nabigfootsearch.com. Do not buy on Amazon. You will pay % or more than what Dave charges. Two fascinating books I have found are the Devil in the details and a sobering coincidence. I can also say that the western us is impressive. They are some of the best research I have ever come across on the topic. Also, if you can’t afford to buy the books, he has an excellent YouTube channel, canammissingproject. With hundreds of amazing videos, Also, the books are in most libraries, and yes, they still exist. Thank you, Dave, for another fantastic documentary!! I’ve also finally got Grammarly so now maybe I’ll have the confidence to write in!
2023-03-05

2. Eye opening - This film is without a doubt an excellent, thought provoking look into possibilities that are both plausible and believable.. while the film does not expound a theory or conclusion it presents just the facts as the people in the film believe them to be as well as some astounding hard evidence… I strongly recommend this film!
2023-03-02

3. His YouTube channel is just as good - I really looked forward to watching this film, and it didn’t disappoint. We are left pondering with unanswered questions, but that is it seems why Mr. Paulides does his investigations. So many unsolved mysteries. I did appreciate the Canam missing channel on YouTube even more after seeing this movie as well. His episodes on there are well done, and just as intriguing.
2023-01-18

4. It’s great to see something based on facts - So often these things are based on emotion or what people want them to be but Dave is an incredible researcher and also as a former detective someone who does not jump to conclusions but lets the facts play out.This is especially meaningful if you’ve kept track of his incredible research as well I was absolutely a critical thinker before this and still am. The facts definitely point to something very odd happening
2023-01-15

5. Love it!! - What a great documentary done with truth, heart and love. So much great information. No fluff! So great. Have watched MULTIPLE times. Love it. Dave is doing amazing work and the word NEEDS to spread… something weird is going on and each of his documentaries shows a different overlapping data points (AKA similarities within stories) and each movie is just fantastic. Dave continues to grow and continues to share his research with all of us. Keep it up, Dave!!!

6. Missing the UFO connection - This is an excellent movie. I would highly recommend everybody to watch it whether you believe in UFOs or if you don’t believe in UFOs, this information is good for everybody to know it’s done in extremely good fashion you will need to watch this movie at least three or four times to gather all the data which is truly amazing. The movie is put together well, my family enjoyed watching it over the Christmas holiday. I myself the first day I got it which was when it came out. I watched it three times in one day and then we watched at least three or four times over the Christmas holiday. It was awesome there’s more to this world than will ever know, keep your mind open and watch the movie. Enjoy. thank you Dave thank you angie and God bless Ben he’s over, watching the whole missing COMMUNITY and thank you. My husband got me the hairy men and Giants book for Christmas. Hat with big foot on it I love it I collect hats, and now one of your hats is in my collection. He got me a book last year as well. So now I have four signed copies and one copy that needs to be signed next time. Hopefully you come to Tempe and see us again thanks for all you do dave you’re awesome.

7. So much intriguing information - David has outdone himself with this movie! He’s interviewed some very credible people and definitely tied up some loose ends. His research is deep and thorough, therefore very thought provoking. Still he lets you draw your own conclusions. I’ve watched it times myself. Well done Dave!!
2023-01-08

8. Thought provoking as always w/ Paulides - My wife & I have seen this twice. Definitely have to have an open mind & be able to understand that there is SOMETHING beyond that we can see/feel/perceive. Whether higher beings, or something else. The interview w/ Former FBI special agent is worth the price of admission itself. I applaud him & his candor.
2023-01-06

9. A Must Watch! - My husband and I have watched this documentary about three times and I feel like a hear something or notice something new every time I watch it. If you think this is a bore, you must like the curtain and are not very open minded. There are things in this world that cannot be explained by our “science”. Thank you Mr. Paulides for including Mr. DeSouza in this documentary, I just wish you could’ve included more of his interview, but I do understand time restraints. We will be buying the DVD from you soon. We truly believe “the truth is out there”.

10. Missing The UFO Connection - The documentary is quite the eye opening experience. It follows suit to the Miss collection that presents the facts, and leaves the door open to have the observer make there own opinion. The testimony of the interviewed is compelling beyond belief. I definitely will be looking forward to Dave’s next project.
2023-01-04

11. TRUTH REVEALED - I have followed David Pauline’s for many years since I first heard him on Coast To Coast AM because he is straight shooting truthseeker investigative reporter. After years of revealing facts and information about the missing and never drawing a conclusion, but taking us all on an investigative journey with him, the undeniable truth is revealed in MISSING - THE UFO CONNECTION……..SOME MOVIES YOU NEVER WANT TO END…THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST.
2023-01-03

12. Very interesting stuff - Another thought provoking movie from Dave Paulides, man this missing stuff is so interesting, he does a great job.. again, presenting new info and possible reasons for what happened on least some of the cases , watch this movie you will be thinking about it long after you watch it, I’m gonna go watch it again right now.
2023-01-01

13. Well done! - Mr Paulides has once again made a fantastic documentary. In fact all three of his movies are very impressive. My only complaint would be that it ISN’T several hours long. The material is so interesting I wanted the documentary to continue. I’m hoping there are parts and in the works. Well done Mr Paulides and God bless you sir!
2022-12-27

14. Paulides does it again - A great entertaining and educational watch. A lot of info and amazing connections made here that’ll make you want to see it multiple times. Much gratitude to Ben Paulides, may he RIP, for inspiring and guiding his dad on his path of film making and also for the great YouTube channel he has with an amazing amount of information that’ll keep you busy for months. Looking forward to more of his films.
2022-12-26

15. Another solid documentary about strange disappearnces in the United States - The wife and I have been long time followers of Dave Paulides and his Missing content. Unlike a lot of other people on YouTube, Dave shows a very methodical approach to real missing person cases that don't make logical sense. This documentary is just another extension of that methodical and analytical approach. He also doesn't try to reach strong conclusions to what he investigates. Instead, he lays out all the evidence, no mattery how fantastical or bizarre, and allows you to reach your own conclusions, which is a refreshing approach when exploring the unexplained. Even if you don't believe in aliens and such, the evidence he provides is hard to refute. I very rarely watch tv or movies, but this documentary was interesting enough, and high quality enough, to keep my interest for the entire duration. I could easily see this being a National Geographic or Discovery channel documentary with the same level of production quality. If the idea of unexplained disappearances in America that has government involvement from agencies that should have no jurisdiction or involvement sounds interesting, then you owe it to yourself to watch this documentary. It'll be worth it.
2022-12-22

16. Spellbinding - All of David Paulides Missing stuff is great but this is head and shoulders above the rest. This movie is extremely thought provoking and does not push any narrative. Evidence and personal experiences are drawn on to start piecing together some possible causes for the incredible number of people who have disappeared. A brilliant film that provides much food for thought and is frankly, more than a little frightening. Well worth the purchase price and I would definitely suggest purchasing it, even when it becomes available to rent because you will watch it more than once.
2022-12-21

17. Way overrated - I watched the video and to be honest it was the same stories Dave always tells on his YT channel. To say that there are not strange occurrences would be incorrect, to say that the stories he investigates have an extraterrestrial origin is irresponsible. When approaching a subject of this magnitude a responsible person would provide equal evidence for either side and then allow their audience to come to their own conclusions. Dave likes to be a cop with the way he insinuates conclusions, therefore only providing one side, only losing my respect for his efforts. He’s great with “ I’m not saying, I’m just saying, wink wink.

Comments

1. Delusional, disrespectful, debunked - Bends the truth to fit a narrative. Not based in facts. What’s presented as fact is circumstantial, coincidence and/or simply untrue. If this were a fictional movie or novel I might find it interesting, but the presentation of this film as a “documentary” or facts is dangerous.
2021-09-14

2. Seeking The Truth Is Not Unpatriotic - No one whose truly watched Loose Change can give it a bad review.this is a brave look into the numerous unanswered questions about the worst day in US History. The facts and evidence truly do not line up with the narrative. Loose Change is a well filmed expose on the the experiences of eye witnesses and the knowledge of architects, engineers and other experts that outlines the true events before, during and after the attacks. It is apolitical without an agenda. This movie keeps the search for truth alive. Loose Change Final Cut is a must watch for every objective American who desires. The truth.
2021-09-13

3. How anyone couldn’t see this & understand what really happened, is beyond me. - For the idiots who are too blind to see actual reports from the officials they trust, have no idea & are sheep being led to the slaughter. Give this movie a chance & don’t be so close-minded. I’m a vet, I went to war over this exact thing. We were lied to.
2021-09-12

4. What is The American Government Hiding - When you learn that we entered major wars based on not disclosing the truth to the American public, like during Pearl Harbor the White House let the harbor be bombed as an excuse to convince the isolationist America to enter a nd World War, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident where we were never attacked but lied and claimed we were to enter the Vietnam War. / is the same thing, according to this documentary, that the American Government knew and did not act or were somehow complicit in the attack on the World Trade Center to be able to have the public support to enter the Middle East conflict. The video covers many important facts on the evidence that leads to believe contrary what you would wish to believe. At the end of this video, I was thinking it is important to love your country, but NEVER trust the government.

1. You WILL cry - There are only a select number of movies that can get to me. (Side note: most of them have Robin Williams in them) This film GOT ME. The rollercoaster of emotions, the frustration and revelations, the heart and dedication, and of course the camera work. It all comes together in such a heartwarming way. It tells a story of promise and a message to all about harmony and how far we have strayed from it. If you have ever dreamed of feeling soil in your hands and being one with nature then this is for you.
2019-08-22

2. The Biggest Little Farm - This is my most favorite movie in years. It is beautifully filmed and it is an amazing story of possibilities. Every minute of this film tugged at every emotion. You can smell the richness in the dirt. This couple and their friends created a spot on earth truly unbelievable. I would love to be a part of this group that created this farm. I can not wait to own this film and I have a list of friends I will be sharing it with. Beautiful!!
2019-08-20

3. What the future can look like. - This movie brought me out of a thought rut. As I once asked in economics class of some Buddhist monks who tried sustainable farming what they’re experience was. They had said it was impossible... All the “pests” from surrounding areas came to there non-pesticide farm. Amazing what a little ingenuity and creativity can do in a biodiverse setting. Kudos to this couple and the beautiful people helping to create a possible and positive healthy future!
2019-08-02

4. Inspiring, Relevant and Enlightening - This movie presents the “why” behind so many principals that we all fight against in our world today in such a positive and entertaining way. Their story shows the value of viewing trials as opportunities, it reinforces that all living things have purpose and demonstrates the incredible power of a dream when combined with a promise. It’s honestly one of the best films I’ve ever seen and I’m genuinely grateful to those who shared this with the world. I would recommend it to anyone regardless of their background or interest in farming & agriculture. It’s genuine... and what it stands for stays with you.

1. Extremely well done - Admittedly I’m a big fan of GM, and I can’t say that (for a mega fan) I learned anything new. What I did gain was a new appreciation for GM, his brilliant songwriting skills, his integrity and ability to stand up for what he believed in. The movie is incredibly well produced and the music is, of course, timeless.

1. Inside job - It's amazing how % of the country can have the power to control the fate of the other % whether for the good or bad. Scary!!! This film should be shown on a loop so every American can watch it on public tv, especially now since Trump is reversing the rules to deregulate the banks so another crash will happen. It’s a great money maker for the % at the expense of the %!
2018-04-02

2. Brilliant portrayal of Wall Streets betrayal - I've watched this documentary twice because I was so moved by it. It's accurate depiction of how Wall Street screwed the world is deeply heartbreaking yet equally frustrating and still so captivating. A must see if you too were robbed by Corporate greed.
2015-07-18

3. Good extra details - I knew much of this before watching the movie, but mostly quantitative. The qualitative is where this documentary shines through, in particular the interviews with the imbeciles that caused the mess and then went on to "consult" or "teach." What a bunch of BOZOS! But in particular, that Hubbard guy made me want to throttle him for about ten minutes. Men like him will never understand all the harm they cause. I wonder how it feels to be known as the guy that let Dick Cheney look a little less evil. I must say that I am more disappointed in the President than I was before I started watching, but only somewhat, because I know the uphill battle he has faced since day one. Yep, the subject matter of this movie will always be the fault of the GOP. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, and if you don't like it, tough.
2015-05-03

4. MUST SEE! - For anyone who cares about America’s future, this should be required viewing. It’s a travesty that mainstream media isn’t covering this story — certainly not the politicians, who are largely bought and paid for by lobby money, courtesy of the Supreme Court who opened the floodgates on the influence of special interests. I fear for this country when we have to pay for the truth in the form of a documentary to pull back the curtain on what is really going on it our democracy.
2014-05-11

5. Worth watching, but seriously left - This “documentary” is well put together and covers a lot of the factors that led to the global financial crisis. However, it does not hide in the slightest that its pushing an agenda. It is so left-leaning my neck hurt after watching it. A lot of the points that Ferguson makes are valid, but he presses further and criticizes market forces at nearly every turn. A few of his interviewees were total bozos (looking at you Mishkin), but if you read between the lines, he espouses a highly regulated, highly structured, state-run, centrally planned economy, run by a combination of hollywood and academia (but not those jerks from the Economics departments at Harvard or Columbia!!)
2014-04-29

6. Morale imperative - Look, this film is obviously biased, but the interviewees make it too hard to be anything other. This film does show a real problem that's been on other reliable sources, such as PBS, minutes, etc; but never with such a common sense approach. See this film, then fire your politician.
2012-11-03

7. Inside Job - I am very grateful to Mr. Ferguson for this exceptionally painful documentary. He fully exposes the deep and rampant corruption that has spread its cancerous ways throughout our financial system and our government. This film is essential viewing to anyone who really wants to know why the United States, and the entire world for that matter, is in such a horrifically crippled state, marred by rampant unemployment. The startling revelation that none of the cast of despicable characters has ever been charged with any crime is a painful pill to swallow. This film should be required viewing for all colleges teaching economics, business and finance. This film is a call for full disclosure by our nation's professors so that our children do not get 'bought and sold' mouthpieces whose corporate salaries make their college salaries seem like pocket change. Reform of the entire American system of finance, politics and education is a must. Inside Job leaves won wondering whether it is ever possible for the US to become a great nation again considering how the corruption stretches through all aspects of government and, most regrettably, to the highest of our colleges and universities. The overall domination by the corrupt elite is far worse than anything seen or known about Mafias or organized crime, who seem almost like amateurs in comparison. Special kudos and thanks to Matt Damon, a very successful and well known actor, who risked criticism and perhaps the ire of some of the people who pay his movie deals in order to narrate this intoxicating masterpiece in an understated, but always appropriate tone. Without ever expressing his own opinion, simply by association with such a honorable, worthwhile, and necessary project, we all know that Matt is a man of integrity. Mr. Ferguson, thank you.

8. Inside Job - This is one of the most important documentaries of our time. Every person should watch it and all our children should be shown it when they take their US Govt class in high school. It underscores one of the great dangers facing our society and how a small number opportunistic people with a lot of money and political clout are derailing our way of life. Much of what they do is legal though many aspects are probably not. This movie methodically explains complicated economic and political processes so that most anyone can understand what is going on. Now it is up to us to demand changes from our elected officials and put an end to this egregious abuse of power from those who supposedly are there to serve us.
2012-03-10

9. Must see movie - I don't know why some reviewers think this movie is an attack on Republicans or has anything to do with Mitt Romney because the issues discussed in this movie cross party lines. To blame one party instead of the other would be naïve and this movie never even considers attempting to blame a political party or the majority of a political party. This movie is worth watching and it will give you a condensed yet well laid out timeline of events that deal with before, during, and after the Recession. Yes I'm sure there are many more issues that influenced the recession that could be discussed in this film, but like every historical document some events will be omitted and some will be brought to the forefront. Overall, you should watch this film to gain a good foundation of what happened last decade and then research the topic further to really solidify your understanding of the recession.
2012-03-08

10. I can't wait - This movie was put together by democrats and George Soros because they believe Mitt Romney will be the Republican candidate, and to get Obama re-elected, they bring this movie out so you hate Wall Street people (Occupy Wall Street - OWS ring a bell?). This is the best way they feel Obama can be re-elected because he sure as hell can't run on his poor record. Will they ever make a movie like this about CONGRESS and how corrupt they are and how they steal tax dollars on a regular basis, setting up SLUSH funds, like TARP and the STIMULUS package that was nothing but a slush fund for democrats to use to give to Unions and such. Will we ever see that movie? (Republicans are just as guilty too). Will we see how Congress doesn't have to abide by any law they pass? Do they pay into Social Security? Hell no, they have their own retirement plan that is SWEET. Do they have to follow the Sexual Harrassment laws, or their staffers? NOPE...they can sexually harrass co-workers, as can their staffers, and get away with it. Can they inside trade? YES, they do it all the time, both sides do it. The President has to put his money/investments into a blind trust so he can't insider trade, but congress doesn't have to. Why do you think there are so many millionaires in the House and Senate? They know what legislation is coming up and how the vote is going to go, so they inside trade with inpugnity. No consequences, and it's all ok. They screw the American taxpayer over on a regular basis, but almost half of America doesn't even pay taxes. That's just WRONG. Everybody should "pay their fair share". But they don't. Democrats get people dependent on Government and they lay in the "safety net" like it's a hammock, expecting evreybody to give them something, like they are entitled to it....Let's see if that movie ever gets made. Even if somebody tried, it would never see the light of day.
2012-01-14

11. Actually explains what happend - This documentary really explains how everything is connected and explains the run up to how this melt down was possible to happen. And when you GET IT you start to wounder how this industri's main players are allowed to keep their bonuses and not get prosecuted. Very educational, you really should see it. Maybe more than once given the load of facts you have to take in.
2011-11-27

12. Very worth watching - I am no economist. I took one macro class in school and thats about it. I - probably like most people I would guess - didn't really understand many of the specifics of who, what, and how the meltdown occurred a few years ago. The why is rather obvious - greed, greed, and a little more greed. This film does a great job of laying out many of the reasons for the crisis. Its easy to understand and the minutia are explained so everyone can grasp the generalities. I am sure many details were left out, but this was not intended as something for the academics or people who work in the industry, but for lay people like myself. For that, I give their product stars. It is disheartening to see the academics selling their professionalism to the highest bidders, or the lack understanding from our previous administrations and the lack of balls shown by our current political leadership. But they are at the whim of the titans of Wall Streat. The most frightening thing for me though while watching the film and upon its conclusion, was wondering when the next meltdown will occur. Our society still does not save, gets loans for things we cannot afford, and elect politicians who bow to the whims of the people who paid all the money to get them to where they are. I just hope we don't implode worse next time.
2011-08-25

13. Open your eyes - Two thumbs way up on this movie. Worth every penny for this kind of financial education. It makes me feel so sad and disheartened to find so much greed and the effect it has on thousands of lives. What a shame. And to see them squirm in their seats, fighting for words to keep them from disclosing their wrong-doings, the guilt in their spirit says it all, without uttering a word. What is happening in wall street is sad, and in the government, sad. If this doesn't stop, the whole United States of America will be as corrupt as other third-world countries I've ever lived in. I commend the courage of the author of this documentary. Thank you for your encouragement. I know now how to help the next generation think to re-shape this world. Oh, might be a good idea to make this rentable on iTunes. It was still worth the buy, but would be much more accessible if it were rentable.
2011-08-10

14. Interesting but flawed - This could have been a lot better. It presents the recent financial crisis from one perspective but in trying to achieve consistency omits a lot of details which most economists (and I am one) believe are important. The best part of the documentary is a couple of sequences with a couple of key players responding to increasingly hostile questions - their responses (including a professor who was a Fed Governor) suggest that many did not have a clue about the mess that was coming. Some of their sources are a bit questionable - for example, one of their key commentators had a heavy hand in promoting the expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act and in reducing standards for lending. There is plenty of blame to go around; Government regulators, Members of Congress(from both parties), Ratings Agencies, financial types of all flavors. But you do not get the full picture from the story they paint. I would have also liked a more balanced perspective on those people in a couple of sectors that provided early warnings about the impending problem (and there were a couple) including economists like Robert Shiller (of Shiller Case fame). This was not a surprise to many including some people in the Bush Administration who early and often worried about the over-leveraging that Fannie and Freddie were engaging in. The characterization that prior to deregulation we went through four decades of stability is also questionable. The repeal of Glass Steagall began during the Carter Administration and many of the elements allowed US financial markets to stay in the game. Adam Smith (Wealth of Nations Fame) warned about the dangers of crony capitalism (which in his time was called Mercantilism).
2011-07-22

15. A Revealing Interview Series in Opposition to Deregulation - George Soros makes the key analogy to the internal design of an oil tanker. A regulated economy is like a well-designed, compartmentalized oil tanker that prevents the oil from sloshing around freely within the hull, which would otherwise soon capsize the ship even in seemingly mild conditions. We know from experience that we prefer compartmentalized oil tankers and since we know likewise that we should prefer a well-regulated and compartmentalized economy. The only alternative to regulation suggested by this movie is a better way to pick the key players. The way it is now, they just bubble up to the top in the classic Peter Principle fashion. Those quick to seize upon Machiavellian situations quickly edge out those quick to seize upon sound economic principles. It's an open competition to see who can take the most money and run while money yet remains for the taking and escape routes yet remain to run through. When the smoke clears, those who made off with the most money get to decide what will happen next. Although film editing is a powerful tool by which to apply bias and has certainly been used to this effect, the filmmakers make it hard to dispute the idea that better people to manage the economy could be found on any street corner. Even educated people who should know better will succumb to the wrong incentive structures. It seems that even the science of economics was not immune to corruption, nor does it yet appear motivated to correct this situation. The scholar who saw it all coming in a presentation to the IMF should be next in line for the Nobel Prize in Economics. He appears in the film to be the only one besides George Soros, Elliot Spitzer and Matt Damon who knows what happened and how to fix it. The tipping point came when the capstone law from the Great Depression was finally overturned. What we learned then we have now had the opportunity to learn again. It is now much less a question of knowledge than a question of discipline and consistency in the application of knowledge and in the definition and enforcement of sound policy.
2011-07-19

16. Beside The Point - Now this movie is very well-done for a documentary while I agree Matt Damon as a choice for the narrator was a bad idea the movie was not. Maybe I am biased as an economic, business, and political science -law & gov't major(s); however this points out the basic way of how the system fell apart. A emphasize the point of basic - the bare minimum actually - probably because if they went into the details of how the system truly fell apart (not being rude) the average person would not understand a word of what they were saying - because most people know little to none about finances/economics/business. I wish however this movie involved more of how this effects the average citizen such as; more about how Wall Street effects them. Overall not a bad movie only gave it stars, because as I said I'm studying economic/business/political science - gov't and law I care a little more about the details than just covering the basics.
2011-06-13

17. Dry - This documentary was extremely dry and dull in its delivery. Rotten Tomatoes have completely lost all credibility.I could not stay awake on this film even after drinking large amounts of strong coffee. Matt Damon needs to take lessons from Michael Moore before diving into this side of the film business.
2011-05-31

18. Wow - It's amazing that our federal government hires criminals - the kind that should be on American Greed, instead of the payroll funded by American citizens, at least the ones fortunate enough to have jobs. This documentary gave me a new point of view on banks, the financial sector, our government, and hedge funds. I used to work for a hedge fund that invested almost all their capital in GS, which subsequently lost over $K (speculated to be as much as high as $.M) of their money in - - no doubt to the most unbelievable and legal ponzy scheme since Enron. Yet the government either turned a blind eye or wholeheartedly fought AGAINST regulating these kinds of b.s. business practices! But to add insult o injury, it bails these financial institutions out of the jam they put themselves in - with tax payer's money!! And to ease the blow of all the jobs that were lost (or just to avoid the finger-pointing and blame highlighted in this undeniably truthful documentary), it also pays tens of millions of dollars to those who ended up unemployed from the domino effect of these greedy banks. No wonder the government kept extending unemployment... They were and are just as guilty and involved as the banks, investors, AIG, and all the federal regulating institutions, which were created to oversee and regulate. But what exactly are they regulating... Other than a ponzy scheme that they actively participated in??
2011-05-28

19. Exposes the Parasites and the Political Theater - See it Now! - Inside Job should be required viewing for every citizen of the U.S. - from high school age up. The 'duopoly' of the Dems and the Repubs can finally be seen clearly as two tentacles from the same parasite that is draining our blood. This movie could help "we the people" realize (finally) that distinctions between the parties are irrelevant, it's "us" against "them" -- and the rest is merely "political theater" to keep us distracted. Great movie - if seen by enough people could change the course of history.

1. It might get kinda lousy - Here we have a film about legendary guitarists Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White...wait, what? Jack White? Let’s face it, although White seems like an interesting guy, kinda quirky, as a guitar player he is undisputedly no where near the level of Page and the Edge in terms of their careers and influence. Consequently White just seems out of place and bolted on in this film and the segments involving him would have been better spent with additional insights from either Page or the Edge on their playing or their respective bands. And when those insights are part of the film it’s mostly stuff fans would be already familiar with and the jam sessions involving all three are unfortunately lackluster and never seem to take off. Basically, this film is for the most rabid fans of these players and basically boring to anyone else including potentially the aforementioned rabid fans.
2019-10-22

2. Two geniuses and an electronics guy - Great movie! Interesting to see how Jack White and Jimmy Page can make music out of anything. The Edge isn't in their realm by any stretch, as all he does is play with electronic sound... It's the only thing that makes me question the film. It is, however, a must see for any guitar lover, simply to watch White and Page, who are epic in their level of talent...
2015-06-15

3. Amazing - This movie spread through Zeppelin through jack white...I love the Edge, the only thing missing was Eddie Van Halen. Not a huge (but good/great) fan of Van Halen. However Eddie was and is extremely influential. I wondered if Edward was invited, but refused. Love this movie. I have watched it several times. I grew up with knowing Zeppelin along with The Doors, Jimi Hendrix....yadda yadda.... I was born in , so was not of age at the time. Although, how can one compare to uncontrolled music like that.....great to grow up with. Enjoyed U for years during my coming of age and respect them, don't love their music so much now..... However, War and unforgettable fire....unbelievable albums and still listen to today. Jack White.....my hats off to you brother. I can't stop listening to the White Stripes!!!!!!! So basic, yet so incredibly complex and inventive and taking simplicity that was done so well so many times to and you and Meg took it to an incredible new level. You are amazing. You will go down on the rock and roll history books like Zeppelin. People will catch up and realize how influential you are like Zeppelin. My favorite band is Tool by far. However, I love my rock blues as well. Just would have been way cool to see Edward Van Halen in this movie as well since we are spreading through the decades. I'm really not complaining because I will probably watch this movie many more times. Just love music.
2013-09-26

4. More Page, less White needed - At some point I just tuned out Jack White's screaming lyrics and insufferable speeches and just waited for Jimmy Page's time on screen. Sadly there was way, way more of Jack than Jimmy. I love the Blues and am a huge Led Zeppelin fan, Jimmy in particular, so that was the main reason for watching this. Page's story has so much depth and very little of it was seen here, sadly. The Edge was ok, he basically has an identifiable sound but I wouldn't put him in the same league as Page, and Jack White can play, is innovative, but too many of his songs sound the same. I would love a do-over here, with more emphasis on Page, as is deserved.
2013-06-27

5. Enough with Jack White already. - You'd think people had never heard a good guitar player before. I've been playing for years and I still can't wrap my head around it. He's a great songwriter and I do like me some White Stripes, but tagging the word 'virtuoso' onto him is a stretch. He's popular, which I think is what got him in the door here, but if your going down that route, why not Dan Auerbach? His Delta picking is definitely superior. Tom Morello would have been a great choice with all his very unorthodox methods to get great sounds, not just a sea of pedals. How about Derek Trucks, possibly the greatest Slide Player second only to Duane? He took advantage of the lack of frets when playing slide to utilize microtones! That's far more groundbreaking than anything White or the Edge has accomplished. I enjoyed this movie, but it just screamed "music movie made my musically inept but passionate filmmaker."

6. New vs the Old - I love reading posts and listening to close minded people review music. Most of Jimmy Page worshipers cant turn the radio dial out of classic rock. U was as innovative to change in sound as Zeppelin was in the 'S. Zeppelin was a blues rip off band that turned their talent into some great original songs. U was an Irish band of good not great talent that kept working with great producers and had an unfortunate history to write from a depressing era: that produced some great songwriting. Jack White can play every instrument in the band. Those who criticize him have never heard his catalog. His country influence, classic rock, alternative...He belongs on this page, He is just too far ahead of his time for most of you ...stuck in the Clapton, Beck time frame. They were also great but guarantee...I have seen it, this kid could hang. By the way if he was still alive...put Stevie Ray Vaughn up there on stage and watch Jimmy Page melt trying to keep his fret board alive. I love Zeppelin but they had their time. They continue to influence, but Jimmy is not what he once was...The Edge as Jimmy says is a great sound architect but not a tactician...Jack White hasnt been around long enough yet so the close minded can see him tear apart the stage.... Go see him live...Let him wow you on the drums, song writing, and then tear up the guitar...mandolin...banjo..whatever...

7. zero chemistry - Great movie? Come on? They had to retreat to career flashbacks because the "sit down and jam " part that they had hoped would reveal a great coming together of styles... flopped. "I dont sing" about sums their chemistry.... very dissappointing and unfornately I bought it first. Should be It might get loud...but it didnt.

8. Worth it for the clips of Jimmy - It is fascinating listening to Jimmy Page talk about his work and watching him play. However, the footage of the Edge and Jack White was boring and of little interest. These two guys had no business being in this film with Jimmy Page. It would have made much more sense to include Jeff Beck and or Clapton; or to just make the film exclusivly about Page. The Edge in particular was clearly outclassed as a musician and perhaps was included for comic relief. For example, with a straight face he talks about his artistic process of eliminating notes from a chord to simplify and condense his sound. He's playing power chords! And at one point in the film Jimmy smirks at the Edge and asks him a couple of times if he's sure about the key signature he's playing in. I found it hilarious, but still would have preferred not having him in the film. It is worth watching for the clips of Jimmy alone though.

9. Could have been good, but wasn't - I'm a fan of all three guitarists, but this movie was not worth watching. It was cool to get some insight on the recording of Zep IV from jimmy, but other than that this movie was not interesting. If you are a musician, you won't get much out of this. If you are a fan of music and musicians it could be worth your while.

10. One legend, two decent guitarists. - There's only one rock legend here. For something like this, you have two wonder why guitar icons like Clapton, Richards, Van Halen, Gilmore, etc., weren't added to the group. No disrespect meant to White or The Edge, but legend-wise, they're not in the same class as Page. There is little excite projected in this video; they just kind of play whatever comes to mind. I feel as those this was a great opportunity missed.

11. Shut Up And Play - Anybody who's ever been in a rock band knows there's nothing more boring than rock musicians talking shop, so this "documentary" was probably doomed from conception. Then to make matters worse one of the three is the perpetually sock-headed Edge, a lucky mediocrity if there ever was one, and for some reason he talks the most and dominates much of the film with his dopey, boring blabber about effects and "simplified" chords. What, did he fund the film or something? He's good for a laugh now and again, but it's hardly a deep or compelling conversation. The say-what looks Page occasionally shoots him speak volumes. When they do finally get around to playing it's just a celebrity love fest, like when the Rolling Stones crowd the stage with guest artistes. Boring, fatuous, unenlightening.

12. I want to get a copy of these three singing and playing "The Weight" as they do at the end - I want to get a copy of these three singing and playing "The Weight" as they do at the end of the film. The most interesting part for me was when The Edge was playing what sounded like a great groove, then he took off all the effects and he was playing three basic chords real slow. He is an amazing engineer.
2012-07-10

13. Wow - The best musical documentary Ive ever seen. For someone who is a fan of all three of the guitarists it is amazing just to see the three titans of their own times in the same room. The stories they tell about there introduction into the rock world are enlightening, and i really enjoyed the explanations of the songwriting stratagies. Over all a great movie.

14. Love Music, Love This - If you come into this with a love of music, rather than a just a love of movies - you will not be disappointed. Those reviewers who talk about the lack of movie "arc" are missing the point. This is an experience of music, and in that regard it is a very good one. I came into this movie as a hack guitarist and passionate U fan (since the beginning) with a passing interest in the music of Jack White (especially with the Ractoneurs), and a deep respect for the legacy of Zeppelin - but with basic devotion to music. It is the passion for music and the creative process that ties all of these artists together despite their differences. The grand master here is of course Page. If you love music, you will share a smile when he plays air guitar to the track that got him hooked to the instrument ("Rumble" by Link Wray) - and you will also understand what he is feeling (insert your favorite track 'here'). That said, he plays air guitar better than most! So if you like even one of these artists/bands - you will enjoy this movie. If you play guitar, it takes it a deeper level. Finally, as the movie closes with them working their way together through a version on "The Weight', I assure you it will be one of those few films you see through until the credits end. It never got loud, but it got very, very good. PS I finish this review as Zeppelin's D'Yer Maker is wrapping up through my speakers.

15. Worth The Weight - This movie was both entertaining and inspiring. The music was excellent and it did get loud on occasion, but more important was how Jack, The Edge, and Jimmy came to this point with their music. I enjoyed listening to their stories. In the end, watching and hearing all three playing The Weight was certainly worth the cost of the movie. I had hoped that it was recorded for purchase. That would have brought it a -star rating.

16. Great movie - but question about controls? - I've seen this movie before - highly recommend it. I decided to buy it on iTunes to be able to watch it any time. For the movie itself, my review is - go into it expecting intertwined biographies of these three men, who represent different styles and generations but have more in common than is immediately apparent. Don't expect a concert video or an hourlong jam session or you will be disappointed. But here's my specific question/concern about buying it on iTunes ... how do I watch the movie?! When Ii start the movie, I get a menu that takes over the iTunes screen. One option is Play. When I click that, I can hear the movie's audio, but I still only see the menu. If I go into chapters and launch one chapter at a time, same thing, I hear that chapter's audio but I don't know how to watch it instead of staring at the menu. If I go full screen, the menu just gets bigger. If I click the X near the upper left of the iTunes window, the movie continues playing while I'm back in the regular iTunes menu system. I'm in the latest version of iTunes and just downloaded the movie today - where is the secret button to actually be able to see the movie? And assuming it's easy once I find the button (I might even feel a bit dense if it's sort of obvious) - Sony, shouldn't this be drop-dead simple?

17. Check out the scene at : - I really enjoyed watching this film as a retrospective on the growth of the modern guitar player over the last years. As a fan, I listen to all three players and grew up playing and listening during the early s when the edge and page were really at opposite ends of the playing scene. It's clear they all respect each other based on the various scenes where they play together, however, if you really want to see respect, look at the faces of White and the Edge when pages starts the central riff for Whole lot of Love at :--Priceless.

18. Fantastic movie! - I absolutely LOVED this movie. You really got to know the roots of these legendary guitarists that made a huge impression in rock history. I watched this movie with my dad and came out knowing so much more about these guitarists and rock music in general. Jimmy Page, Jack White, and the Edge really amazed me with their stories and their knowledge. Watch this and you won't be disappointed ]

1. GREAT Documentary of our military heroes - Like Restrepo, it’s a GREAT documentary about our (Army) military heroes in the Korengal Valley. Two thumbs WAY UP. I do agree w/ some of the others’ reviews too about some of footage, but esp w/ Veterans’ Day coming up, it’s a great ($.) rental, & tribute, to our heroes doing their jobs, NOT for (BS public) “glory” (back home), but to make sure the guys next to them, & they, can make it home. And, personally, I like the action vs inaction throughout; it gives a glimpse of why & how it’s hard (sometimes) to come back home. Imagine how “slow” life seems when you’re used to (& need) that action for sanity. Reviewers who find min of “slow” hard/boring should seek to begin understanding how that (minimally) parallels the difficulties experienced back home but for real (& unable to be fast-forwarded through).

2. Maximum Respect - It's the best way to check the conviction of the American troops. The way this unit worked together is a point of true pride for these friends are in the midst of an impossible position; the lives of the best of the best. Especially if you are tired of war and don't support the terrible situation that the US is part of.... This movie allowed me to see my friends faces on these soldiers and see the cost of war is not the fault of these people who at the least are heroic and even after living a life of football and with the brain damage from winning RoseBowls.... The ability to survive the Hell of war with a heart of gold is a burden beyond my suppositions. I pray for the insight and visual documented which helped my vision even at the age of ... I always look for hope that our soldiers are not twisted by the wrath of war. I have always held Doctors, Police Officers, Soldiers others.. To a higher level of commitment then many other people. This is the best I could imagine. Major Respect

3. Bravery - Bravery is something we as civilian probably will never understand. If you are expecting a move like Rambo or something like that , well Get da fudge out da here. Siting here on my couch and being free, not having to wait if a bullet is gonna hit my head. That is cool, the sad part of that is that a lot of this guys sacrifice the beautiful life of them so that the rest can be totally fine. My respects for any soldier out there . And there is not heaven or hell. There is dirt and brave men creating balance.

4. Nothing New - Ok, first off being a veteran doing deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan some of what was going on with these soldiers I could relate to. Sadly I'm sick of the cheap promotion of what happen over in Afghanistan. It's bad enough to watch soldiers not wearing full issued gear which we trained with pre-deployment stage but during their deployment they thought the were back in Vietnam. This movie is only going to encourage stolen valor impostors out their trying to act like they are soldiers in the United States Army doing this and that. To veterans, reserve/NG, or active duty who have deployed to Afghanistan you might find this movie moving rather slow at some points and annoyed at some soldiers being overly emotionally at some points in this movie. I wouldn't even recommend this movie to basic training soldiers and incoming soldiers to their new duty station which would give then wrong impression what right and wrong looks like.

5. War from a Soldier's Perspective - I watched this movie because I absolutely loved "Restrepo" and Junger's book "War." I didn't really know what to expect- it's a lot of the same guys from Restrepo and instead of focusing on the mission, they talked a little more in depth about how their time in the Korengal Valley changed them. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a perspective on how Soldiers think and feel in combat theaters. The only piece I would like to have seen in this movie is the afterward- what happened to these guys when they either PCS'd to different duty stations or exited the military?

6. Realities? - This is what war feels like? There are WWII, Korea and Vietnam vets who would beg to differ with you. Wars are fought against armies, not sporadic civilians hiding in hills. Gorilla warfare, maybe. When you lose , men in one month, , in less than a year - that’s war. I found this film boring and slow. I kept asking myself, what are they doing there? Is anything being accomplished? When you’ve been surrounded by , of the enemy and you lose of your closest friends in two to three days - that’s what war is, and war feels like.

1. Suspenseful and Sad Documentary - In spring of I got on a chairlift at Alpine Meadows. Another skier got on next to me. The first thing I remember noticing was that she was missing part of one of her legs. We began tio talk on the ride up and she to;ld me her story of surviving the avalanche that ocurred in winter of . She descriubed the five days she was trapped in the rubble and how determined she was to survive and to ski again once she recovered. We spent the afternoon together and met the next day and rode some more. I am sure she would notm remember me but I never forgot her. And seeing her again in this gut wrenching documentary brought back the memories of her smile, of her courage and her love of skiing. I am glad to see she is still keeping on with her life and her will to recover and live a full life has been paramount. Way to go Ann!

2. Emotionally raw - well done! - Very emotional and gripping recounting of the avalanche disaster and miracle rescue from those that were present at the time. Forty years later and it's still raw. Current interviews laced with pictures and videos from the era are masterfully interplayed while visually feeling the storm on the mountain. Exceptionally well done!
2022-11-14

3. Gripping from start to finish! - I grew up skiing at Alpine and never realized it was a ticking time bomb. So much so, you learn in the film that avalanche science was birthed there. But most moving is the the impact of an unprecedented storm that threw all predictions out the window and the heartfelt story of the toll it took on the ski patrol responsible for everyone's safety. Even though you know the ending the film is gripping as those moments described by the survivors is like yesterday for them... you're left with the sense that thanks to the process of telling their stories for the film, a level of healing from the trauma is finally able to happen... I highly recommend it!

4. Amazing documentary! - I was just a kid when this happened but I remember it in the news. The story is told mostly through actual footage and interviews. The camera work on the interviews is phenomenal. The emotion is captured perfectly. They have amazing footage from when it happened. So cool to see familiar newscasters. Gives you a new appreciation for the work that goes into keeping ski resorts, especially Alpine, safe.

5. Gut wrenching - I did not know this story but was told about it and this documentary recently. Tragic but compelling. I think what struck me is the honesty of the people involved. Good people making soul crushing decisions. They went through this horrific event years ago and it still lives with them. Would I be able to handle this as well as they did? That was the thought I kept coming back to while watching. stars. Worth your time and $.
