10月26日 What's Up Doc?One of the greatest, smartest film sites in the blog-o-sphere, Dennis Cozzalio's Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule, offers a terrific round-up of interesting documentaries opening this weekend. Covering Marco Turro's "Excellent Cadavers," "Jonestown: The Life and Death of the People's Temple," the controversial Golden Gate suicide doc, "The Bridge" and Barbara Kopple's "Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing," Cozzalio uses these documentaries as a way to underscore much of what writer's miss when discussing the so-called important pictures released near the end of the year. In particular, he cites Los Angeles Times' Patrick Goldsten's piece on all the "good movies in town." As Cozzalio replied to this: "To be fair to Goldstein, however, I opened up the Sunday 'Calendar' section just two days before, and I said aloud pretty much the same thing: “Wow! There sure are a lot of good movies opening in town next weekend!” The difference is, I wasn’t thinking exclusively, or at all, actually, of the heavily marketed studio titles one might expect to hear about in a low-cal think piece about Oscar campaigns and the myth of the adult movie season. Instead, I was fairly astounded to note that, in addition to at least two documentaries of unusually high interest that were already playing-- 'Jesus Camp' and 'Deliver Us from Evil'-- four brand-new docs, each one with its own unique and compelling area of inquiry, would be bowing on Los Angeles screens on October 27, not to mention one faux documentary that has many potential viewers up in arms before they’ve even seen it. It was enough to make me think that the upcoming holiday wasn't that familiar pagan ritual of candy consumption and corny horror imagery, but instead one devoted to the complex joys of, of all things, the modern documentary."
