It has been said that good things come in small packages and this little film is no exception. The movie Desierto Sur does a brilliant job of bringing a story of sorrow, determination and discovery to the screen that’s touching and convincing. It’s the kind of film that you will remember long after the movie theater credits roll.
There is a new film by filmmaker Michael Moore called Capitalism: A Love Story and I found it engrossing, informative and tongue-in-cheek comical. Unlike his previous efforts that were more political and wishful, Capitalism goes right for the jugular vein of the banking industry for one and the stock market for another.
I cannot tell a lie, The Invention of Lying is insipid, imitative and somewhat irreverent. Although the film may work in England with Gervais’s very dry humor, the funny stuff just doesn’t win here.
It’s campy and self-serving, but Gotta Dance is a must see for documentary lovers that want to enjoy a good laugh and ponder over ageing. And, if you are a New Jersey Nets basketball fan, you’ll enjoy it even more.
