The Chameleon (2010)
Good detective story
I enjoyed it. The acting was solid. The story kept me intrigued. The actual case was very interesting.
Why We Fight (2020)
A really interesting Doc even if you're not a huge fight fan.
I'm a fan of boxing and mixed but it's not really about that, the through line is why these people are involved in this sport and that's what is really interesting.
The Barn Theatre: Tomorrow's Stars Today (2017)
Technically (sound & pic) not great BUT it's a perfect Doc about small theater!
What a perfect little Documentary about small theater and the people that it takes to pull it off! The Barn Theatre in a little town in Michigan has been slugging it out for over 65 years and as the doc tells/shows us many big name actors have appeared on its stage when they were starting out, most appear in interviews also. The doc follows the Barn Theatre as it mounts a comeback from a year of going dark (financial problems/bad economy) so we follow a brand new group of young apprentices plus the steady hand of the theaters owners Brendan and Penelope as they get the theater back on it's feet. We learn the history of how it all started but it doesn't dwell on the founders too long because it's time to put on a show, actually a whole season of shows. The apprentices are in their early twenties and full of energy for their big shot on stage in a real union theater setting. It's great fun to see these young performers and also veteran performers pull off an amazing return season when the chips are down. Great Fun! Also watch it for the funny interviews with Jennifer Garner & Dana Delany.
