Documentary summer

there just hasn't been many good movies out there this summer. and the only ones i've enjoyed lately have been documentaries. i hope that doesn't mean i'm getting very old...nah, hollywood is just putting out a lot of crap. even good old standbys like harry potter were disastrous disappointments.

i have seen 2 very good documentaries, "it might get loud" and "the september issue" and am looking forward to two more, "good hair" and "capitalism, a love story".

it might get loud follows jimmy page, the edge and jack white and is totally worth the trip. put it on your rental list.

the september issue documents the creation of the largest vogue issue of the year from start to finish. it's the real devil wears prada and i will see it again.

good hair is by chris rock and he takes us into the world of black hair- what black women have to go through to get - good hair. watch the trailer, it's more entertaining than it sounds-. opening oct 2.

capitalism: a love story is by michael moore as he goes after aig. i love him and am looking forward to seeing his take on this economical disaster we're living through.  also opening oct 2.

  1. thank you aron. i see that in what's fast becoming my favorite genre of film you are a prolific contributor-spotlighting unusual viewpoints and situations that wouldn't otherwise have an outlet. i watched Black Hair and learned a lot about the black beauty business and more importantly about the rallying of a community. good for you for lending your talent to promoting the unification of black business owners. once success is reached in one arena it could only lead to future collaborations to solve other issues.
