GasLand (2010)
A somewhat forgettable rant film
22 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- 2010, Rather mad upstate New Yorker that is an ecology fan goes out to make a documentary against the large natural gas companies in the USA.

*Special Stars- Josh Fox, Director- Josh Fox

*Theme- Never trust big business ever when they are benefiting the citizens or country.

*Based on- Michael Moore style of filmmaking and green ecology with global warming myths.

*Trivia/location/goofs- Shot entirely on various state locations where the story action takes place. Expose' documentary style.

*Emotion- A somewhat forgettable rant film of a well meaning but misguided documentary filmmaker. His overuse of hysterics and commentary in this film showing his obvious bias against commerce, fairness, and contracts makes this film easy to dismiss as 'crack-pot'. But studying the subject of natural gas production in the USA, it's importance, and over regulation; the audience can readily see that the filmmaker is woefully misinformed on his subject matter. The producer also takes some overdone political attacks on the Bush administration to make this film a cliché'. Don't waste your time on this film it's a 'hachet job' by an unknown and uneducated person. It could have been better by miles.
