Topic: This Is the Tom Green Documentary

I've turned off quite a few modern documentaries lately due to poor format. However I was pleasantly surprised by The Tom Green Documentary. A perfect balance of real footage laced with minimal interviews and some voice over.

Topic: Expedition Killer Whale

Such a great documentary!! Awesome footage of killer whales wave-washing hunting technique, and also a lot of behind the scenes footage of the camera crew and the scientists studying them. The behind the scenes footage makes the documentary a lot more fun. It’s only on the BBC right now but whenever it comes out in other countries you should definitely check it out!

Topic: Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

It is interesting to me that this film is released around the same time that DC is rebooting its universe. https://deadline.com/video/super-man-the-christopher-reeve-story-sundance-documentary-matthew-reeve-alexandra-reeve-will-reeve-interview/ #documentary #christopherreeve #christopher_reeve #superman

It sounds like Kiedis was transparent in his book. The film could be enlightening. https://deadline.com/2024/01/anthony-kiedis-movie-biopic-scar-tissue-1235795458/amp/ #biopic #biopics #redhotchilipeppers #anthonykiedis #universal

Topic: Animals Up Close with Bertie Gregory

I recently watched this nature documentary on Disney+, “Animals Up Close”. It’s so good and I highly recommend it! What makes it interesting is that there’s a lot of behind the scenes footage of the film crew as well as beautiful shots of the animals. Also each episode has a hopeful/positive message about wildlife conservation! My favorite episode I’d recommend watching first is the “Patagonia Puma” episode😁

Hi all!! Okay, sooo I am back with another inquiry about yet another historical lesbian film that is proving ridiculously hard to find 😅. It’s a documentary called Gateways Grind about London’s longest-surviving lesbian club, & was made in 2021 & directed by Jacquie Lawrence. I haven’t been able to find it on YouTube, Amazon, ebay, or any streaming service. I know this is a super super long shot, but if you know where to find it or have ideas, please let me know! Thanks so much! 💜

I have a great documentary recommendation for animation Enthusiast like myself. That is the documentary called pencils versus pixels. If you have love, appreciation and passion for The Art of Animation I highly suggest this movie.
