Unlike when the genocide began over a decade ago in Rwanda -- when the Western world couldn't be bothered to lift its head from its own navel and figure out what to do -- the increasingly desperate condition in the Darfur region of Sudan has attracted enormous amounts of attention from around the world, with activists clamoring for their governments to do more to stop the ongoing disaster. Writer/director Theodore Braun's Darfur Now serves initially as a decent introduction to the efforts of this diverse group of dedicated do-gooders, presenting portraits of six people from completely different walks of life into a generalized mini-lecture on the state of the Darfur conflict. read the full review | |

An Inconvenient Truth | | | Starring: Al Gore Director: Davis Guggenheim | | Format: DVD Release Date: 11/21/2006 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | An Inconvenient Truth - DVD By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/21/2006 2:43 AM | | The concept of global warming is nothing new to me. I grew up in a part of the country surrounded by flower-child communes dedicated to returning to a more natural way of life to help save the planet. Somehow, hearing about the risks of global warming from the former Vice President of our country carries a lot more weight than hearing about it from people who preferred to bathe in their own sweat rather than water and smelled distinctly of marijuana most of the time. read the full review | |

Gimme Shelter this is not. The disillusions and stabbings of the 1969 concert have been replaced by the Clinton Foundation's benefit for the Natural Resource Defense Council and snapping camera phones. But Shine a Light is helmed by Martin Scorsese -- the man behind Goodfellas and Raging Bull -- shouldn't it push the boundaries set by Charlotte Zwerin and the Maysles brothers nearly 40 years ago? It should, but Scorsese has always had a cinematic hard-on for the Rolling Stones, and the result is a personal, biased love letter to the Stones signed with love by Marty. When the Stones take the stage at New York City's Beacon Theater, it's frightening -- their age truly shows on film. read the full review | |

 | | 17. Sicko | | | Starring: Michael Moore Director: Michael Moore | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/20/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Sicko - DVD Review By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2007 7:34 AM | | The strength of the film Sicko lies in the editing, music, and humorous narration by Moore himself. It is full of intense interviews, saddening life stories, and certainly builds on the frustrations and sympathy for people who have lost their homes and their hope, all because the government won't step in to regulate the ripping off of citizens by corporations. Sicko is to health care as Supersize Me is to the fast food industry. Moore is asking for the government to realize that, "all men are created equal," no matter how much medical need they have. read the full review | |
