Paper Heart

What starts out to be a documentary about a girl (Charlyne Yi) who does not believe in love takes a turn when she meets Michael Cera and starts having a relationship that just might be love. Traveling the country with friend/director Nicholas Jasenovec she is determined to see what all different types of people think about love. Along the way you get to enjoy all the people she comes in contact with and watch her new friendship with Michael start to change. This is a very cute movie that kept you guessing about what was real and what was scripted.

American Teen

This documentary follows the story of a handful of teens, how different their lives are, and how they survive the teenage high school years. You have the rich popular girl, the jock, the alternative girl, and the girl crazy dork. This is a really good movie that would be a good teaching tool in High Schools. You find that you really start liking and disliking the main kids and can't wait to find out what happens to them.

Religulous

Bill Maher decides to question various religious beliefs in this documentary film where he travels the globe questioning what some believe to be absolute truth. Whether you agree with him or not it is an interesting film to watch.

Sicko

This is Michael Moore's Documentary about the state of the Health Care System in the United States. He talks about U.S. Health Care in comparison to come other countries such as Canada and France. I thought this was excellent and it definitely makes you wonder if we could do to fix such a broken system.

This Film Is Not Yet Rated

This film is a documentary about the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating system and how much power they have in deciding the success of films today. The main focus is on the more controversial films of the recent past and the secrecy and "politics" of the MPAA organization. I found this very interesting since I did not know a while lot about how the rating system works.

Shut Up & Sing

This documentary follows popular country singers the Dixie Chicks after the 2003 concert where the lead singer announced her displeasure with the President and his decision to go to war in Iraq. It is truly amazing the impact her words had on the next several years of their career. This movie definitely makes you question whether there is such a thing as "free speech". I enjoy their music and I enjoyed this movie.

Super Size Me

This is an amazing documentary about the harm of eating too much fast food. Morgan Spurlock decides he is going to eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days to see what kind of impact it has on his body. Of course he gains weight, but what is really interesting is the other impacts it has. I highly recommend watching this film.

Inconvenient Truth

This is the Oscar winning documentary about Global Warming told by Al Gore. In this movie Gore uses concise examples, charts, and photos to plea for the public to take immediate action to impact Global Warming for future generations. As a believer in Global Warming I enjoyed this movie and thought the examples and statistics were very eye opening.
