Ancient Civilizations (2017)
It started interesting but got crazier and crazier
The name of this show is very misleading. While it does talk alot about civilizations pre-dating the Egyptians going back tens of thousands of years before, it also has a lot of pretty crazy people deemed as "experts" talking about crazy things like "spirit traveling" and remembering things from thousands of years ago both on earth and on other planets. I would treat this show as containing both facts and complete fantasy.
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)
Watch this......you won't regret it
This documentary is 14 years old, but I have never even heard of it until I came across a Buzzfeed article recently about some of the best documentaries, and this one was recommended by the most readers, so I knew it couldn't be bad, but I did not expect it to be THIS good.
Like almost everyone who reviewed it on IMDB wrote, it's best to watch this film without knowing much about it. I knew it was about a woman who murdered his former lover and that the filmmaker made this film as a gift to their child to remember his father by, but it's way, way more than that. Let's just leave it at that, because to say anymore would spoil the experience.
The only reason that I am writing this review is to say that the parents of the murdered man are real life saints. As a parent myself, I would consider myself "Father of The Year" if I can be just 1/10 of how they are as parents/grandparents. They deserve so much better than what happened to their family. I hope they have lived a happy life since the events of the film, and that this film is a tribute to them, their son, and their grandchild that will not be lost in time.
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
It's not everyone's cup of tea
This movie COULD be funny to some people, but it could also be stupid for most others. I did get a few hard laughs, but they're mostly tasteless, "Scary Movie" type jokes. Bottom line is, it may not be worth $9 to see it in a theatre, but it's not a bad way to kill an hour and a half to rent on video if you have nothing else better to do.
