I found the documentary interesting. It covered some issues I hadn't considered before. I enjoy documentaries that face the "elephant in the room" type of situation. I did feel like something was missing from the film, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Worth a view when you want something light and easy to watch.

The Carter Effect
(2017)
Interesting Sports Documentary
17 May 2018
I grew up watching Vince Carter play for the Raptors and didn't realize quite how big of an impact he had on the city of Toronto. The documentary did a good job covering a lot of areas of how Carter influenced the NBA, pop culture, and Canada. And of course watching him dunk never gets old!

Something about it
16 May 2018
I'm not sure why but I always like this movie more than the person I'm watching it with. I've seen it multiple times and I love it every time. I believe that happens when you really like the acting and character development in a film. To me the acting was very well done. The story is great, nothing that hasn't been done before, but still a story I enjoy each time. Worth a look.
Across the Universe

Musical for non-musical viewers!
16 May 2018
I'm not a big follower of musicals, but I loved this film. The Beatles songs were very well done and the interpretations were striking. Touches a lot of bases throughout the film...love, music, politics, etc...and does so with grace.
He Got Game

Must-See Basketball
16 May 2018
My favorite basketball film! Denzel is amazing in "He Got Game". This film is gritty and raw. It feels quite real, partly because of the acting of Ray Allen and the fact that he is an actual athlete. Nothing is held back, and that's what makes the movie so beautiful.

I like you, movie
16 May 2018
This movie was good...I laughed out loud at a number of parts. Peter Klavin is awkwardly searching for a friend, and it's relatable. The acting was quite good for a comedy. I think what helps this movie the most is it has a good heart. One of Paul Rudd and Jason Segel's best.
The Hunt

Well Done
16 May 2018
Very good story, with a plot that is very realistic, yet chilling. I thought the acting was excellent all around. I was explaining the movie to my wife and realized it took me quite a long time to tell the story...and I loved it even more after I was myself telling the story and thinking out loud. Those are the best movies...the ones that sit with you for days after.
Ex Machina

So Awesome
16 May 2018
I don't watch a ton of sci-fi, but this is still one of my top 20 favorite films. The visuals in this film are amazing. The emotions between human and robot are incredible. This is one of those films that stays with you for a long time.

Though-Provoking

Interesting documentary that will spur some new thoughts. I would have liked to see if some of the information given had some specific studies backing it up. There were a lot of very interesting blanket statements that were expected to be accepted as fact. I appreciate when norms are challenged, but I would like some more substance. Also, the structure of the film was extremely disorganized...it was as if the chapters were randomly thrown together after someone picked up the notecards off the floor. Could have been so much more!
Great supplement to "Into the Wild"
16 May 2018
Informative documentary, giving a lot of backup info on Chris McCandless and the McCandless family. Tons of info I was never aware of that makes "Into the Wild" that much better. Some nice footage of the actual places Chris voyaged and people he met. I recommend definitely if you liked the book or film.
The Drive

Light and Deep

Viewed this at the 2018 Phoenix Film Festival. Realistic and charming, with a storyline that most of us can relate to at some point in our lives. The acting was well-done and the simplicity of the shoot made it that much better.
