Get your kids vaccinated for crying out loud people!
- DirectorLeonard HorowitzStarsLeonard HorowitzSherri KaneUn-Vaxxed: A Docu-Commentary for Robert De Niro is an unparalleled production by award-winning author, filmmaker and health science expert, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, who contributes more than the "discussion" actor Robert De Niro sought to start by screening the controversial film Vaxxed at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival in New York. De Niro, whose son, like millions of other children who became vaccine-injured, came under fire from both sides of the vaccination safety debate after "pulling" Vaxxed from the event. "Filmmakers" and agents pressured the Hollywood celebrity to censor Vaxxed by producer Del Bigtree and director Andrew Wakefield. De Niro later pledged to investigate who caused the censorship, and why. Un-Vaxxed vets those secrets, along with the agents and agencies commissioned to influence De Niro, public opinion, CDC policies, the U.S. Congress, health science and medicine using the media to shape society's beliefs and attitudes towards vaccinations.1/10 1/10 Propaganda is one thing, propaganda that spreads a conspiracy that results in the death of children is another thing altogether. Get your kids vaccinated for crying out loud people!
- DirectorRick CaineDebbie MelnykStarsMichael MooreDebbie MelnykRick CaineA documentary that looks to distinguish what's fact, fiction, legend, and otherwise as a camera crew trails Michael Moore while he tours with his film Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004).1/10 Michael Moore is hated by the "Right wing" side of society. Does he hate America? If he hated America he wouldn't be making repeated documentaries about it's flaws and how to fix them. Making a documentary to slam and in places slander him is pitiful, making 3! That suggests fear, concern and that his points are striking nerves.
- DirectorLarry ElderStarsLarry ElderMichael MooreAttorney and Radio Talk-Show host Larry Elder spends a year and a half attempting to interview Michael Moore in response to Moore's assertions about guns made in Bowling for Columbine.1/10 Michael Moore is hated by the "Right wing" side of society. Does he hate America? If he hated America he wouldn't be making repeated documentaries about it's flaws and how to fix them. Making a documentary to slam and in places slander him is pitiful, making 3! That suggests fear, concern and that his points are striking nerves.
- DirectorMichael WilsonStarsMike AbrahamPete AugerAndrew BreitbartMichael Wilson, like the subject of his film, is trying to get an interview with a multi-millionaire; however, in this case, that millionaire is Michael Moore himself.1/10 Michael Moore is hated by the "Right wing" side of society. Does he hate America? If he hated America he wouldn't be making repeated documentaries about it's flaws and how to fix them. Making a documentary to slam and in places slander him is pitiful, making 3! That suggests fear, concern and that his points are striking nerves.
- DirectorEric GladenShiloh LevineStarsEric GladenBrian HookerAfter recovering from a devastating sickness that brought him to the edge of despair, Eric Gladen would quit his career, move into an RV, and travel the country for years trying to piece together one of the biggest childhood epidemics of all time...and he just may have done it.1/10 Propaganda is one thing, propaganda that spreads a conspiracy that results in the death of children is another thing altogether. Get your kids vaccinated for crying out loud people!
- DirectorWilliam ArntzBetsy ChasseMark VicenteStarsMarlee MatlinElaine HendrixJohn Ross BowieA fictional photographer's quest to spiritually rediscover herself is interspersed with documentary footage of scientists and theologians discussing the philosophical aspects of quantum physics.1/10 The very definition of new age nonsense, there is no science here only the most ridiculous of concepts with no basis, no evidence and have about as much credibility as magical stones, mediums and gods.
- DirectorHenning SchellerupStarsJohn RubinsteinJohn AndersonNehemiah PersoffThis examination of historical sources speculates on the accuracy of the biblical depiction of Jesus.1/10 Christian "Science" makes claims regarding the existence of Jesus, the trouble is Christian "Science" is the penultimate oxymoron. There is no evidence, there could never be any evidence. Engage with reality people!
- DirectorJohn Alan SchwartzStarsMichael CarrSamuel BerkowitzMary Ellen BrightonA collection of death scenes, ranging from TV material to homemade super 8 movies.1/10 Sick, perverse and lacking any level of entertainment I can see why this became infamous and though not the easily shocked type I don't understand why anyone would want to see this.
- DirectorRay ComfortStarsRay ComfortJoseph GoebbelsRudolf Hess180 is a 33-minute 2011 anti-abortion documentary film produced by Ray Comfort, founder of Living Waters Publications. The film is distributed by Living Waters on DVD and has been posted publicly on the film's official website and YouTube. The film is notable for comparing abortions to the Holocaust.1/1 Made by the lunatic known as Ray Comfort, the man whose most noted contribution to the world involved a banana this is an arrogant anti-abortion film. I'm pro-choice, stop telling people what they can and can't do with their bodies.
- DirectorLauren GreenfieldStarsJaqueline SiegelDavid SiegelLorraine BarrettA documentary that follows a billionaire couple as they begin construction on a mansion inspired by Versailles. During the next two years, their empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis.1/10 I'm sorry, why should I care? Even remotely?
- DirectorJoshua OppenheimerAnonymousChristine CynnStarsAnwar CongoHerman KotoSyamsul ArifinA documentary which challenges former Indonesian death-squad leaders to reenact their mass-killings in whichever cinematic genres they wish, including classic Hollywood crime scenarios and lavish musical numbers.2/10 Though I appreciate what they were going for here it makes for very difficult viewing. Not pleasant and certain people seem to revel a bit too much in what they have done.
- DirectorEric WalterStarsDaniel LutzSusan BartellLaura DiDioFor the first time in 35 years, Daniel Lutz recounts his version of the infamous Amityville haunting that terrified his family in 1975.2/10 Ghosts aren't real, engage with reality. Remember the show Most Haunted? 361 episodes and counting, 16yrs and still going! They've been to the most "Haunted" places around the world, and have found nothing. If you ever needed proof of the lack of existence of ghosts have a think about that little nugget.
- DirectorPenn JillettePaul ProvenzaStarsGeorge CarlinDon RicklesChris RockOne hundred superstar comedians tell the same very, VERY dirty, filthy joke--one shared privately by comics since Vaudeville.2/10 The same crass unfunny joke on a loop with various alterations. Funny? No.
- DirectorAlicia KerrStarsLouis TherouxChris EubankKarron EubankLouis sets off to meet Chris Eubank, to try and get underneath the extravagant persona he has made for himself.2/10 Eubank is a dull unfunny man, a documentary about his personal life was a poor choice.
- DirectorNathan FrankowskiStarsBen SteinLili AsvarPeter AtkinsBen Stein examines the issue of academic freedom and decides that there is none when it comes to the debate over intelligent design.2/10 Riddled with lies, highly bias, the very definition of idiotic. If you're going to cover such a subject then being dishonest kills all credibility.
- DirectorAmardeep KalekaStarsThomas JaneJack AumanCorrado BalducciA documentary about the life of Dr. Stephen Greer, UFO secrecy, and existing energy technologies that could change the world as we know it.2/10 Pseudo scientific nonsense which presents theories with nothing even remotely resembling evidence.
2/10 Pseudo scientific nonsense which presents theories with nothing even remotely resembling evidence. - DirectorDan OllmanSarah PriceChris SmithStarsAndreas BichlbauerMike BonannoAndy BichlbaumAnti-corporate activists travel from conference to conference, impersonating member of the World Trade Organization.2/10 Though I get the sentiment The Yes Men is unforgivably dull and doesn't make for an entertaining or even enlightening watch.
- DirectorDan T. HallStarsTracy BaconMyrna CookeAlex HallFollows Dan T. Hall as he explores the haunting of the Fox Hollow Farm estate.2/10 You know the difference between this and an episode of Most Haunted? No really I'm asking, because I don't know the answer. More night vision, people calling out to the dead and interviews with people who claim to have seen ghostly apparitions.
- DirectorJoe CrossKurt EngfehrStarsJoe CrossAmy BadbergMerv CrossFat, Sick, and Nearly Dead is an American documentary that chronicles Australian Joe Cross's 60-day journey across the United States, where he embarks on a juice-only fast in a quest to reclaim his health.3/10 I agree with his message and do support it but a documentary needs to be both educational and entertaining and this is barely the former and not at all the latter.
- DirectorAlicia KerrStarsLouis TherouxMax CliffordNicky Byrne3/10 I love Louis but the "When Louis Met.." series has had the habit of being the kind of people I simply do not care about and Clifford is no exception.
- DirectorWill YappStarsLouis TherouxPaul DanielsChris EubankThe celebrities profiled by Louis Theroux in the documentary series "When Louis Met..." reflect on their time with Louis and he gives his thoughts on them.3/10 Essentially a catchup of the various "Celebrities" Louis met through the very underwhelming "When Louis Met..." series. Simply uninspiring stuff.
- DirectorGuy GilbertStarsLouis TherouxKeith HarrisAnn Marie Davies3/10 Keith Harris & Orville, a portrait by Louis Theroux. How could this possibly have been enjoyable?
- DirectorWill YappStarsLouis TherouxDavid BlaineUri GellerIn 2001, Louis Theroux decides to set out on a journey to interview Michael Jackson. When Michael comes to the UK, Louis approaches Uri Geller but gets turned down. He then finds out that ITV has been granted an interview and Louis sets out for LA to meet a close friend of the Jackson family, promoter and magician Majestik Magnificent, who claims he can set up an interview with Joe Jackson, Michael's father. However nothing seems to go easily for Louis and his target seems further away.3/10 With David Blaine and moronic Uri Geller how could this Louis documentary of succeeded. Doomed from the outset this is not his best work.
- DirectorWill YappStarsLouis TherouxPaul DanielsDebbie McGeeFor 20 years Paul Daniels mesmerised audiences with his conjuring tricks, helped by his wife and assistant, Debbie McGee. Now in their sixties and forties respectively, Paul has given up magic so he can devote himself to realising Debbie's dream of running her own classical ballet company. Louis Theroux is invited to join their 'magic circle' to find out if Paul is ready for life out of the spotlight.3/10 As charming as Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee are a sit down interview about their personal lives simply isn't enjoyable.
