By now most of us probably think we've seen and heard enough about the events of the 11th September 2001, it has rarely been out of the news and many of us watched the tragedy unfold live on our television screens. That said, this documentary is unique in it's access to the attack on the World Trade Centres. That day, two brothers, Jules and Gedeon Naudet were filming a documentary about a rookie firefighter in a New York firestation located close to what we know now of as 'ground zero', they we

Yup, those darn conspiracy theorist are at it again. This documentary specifically looks at the anomalies and inconsistancies of the 9/11 disaster as they relate to the demolition of the two towers that occurred after the planes hit. How do you get a 110-storey building to collapse in just 10 seconds? What caused the explosions heard just before the collapse? And what is the significance of the unusual and lengthy power shortage that occurred a couple of weeks before the disaster? All these ques

Al Gore finds life after the politically crushing embarrassment that was his tenure as vice president and, frankly, it's unlikely he will experience another point as high as his achievement in this profound, engaging and, mercifully, clear documentary on the consequences of our complacent greed. That ‘An Inconvenient Truth' provides little in the way of true revelations pertaining to the earth's (humanity's) looming ecological demise, and ignores some of the more profound problems of trapped car

It's Spinal Tap... no... wait - these poor bastards are for real. These Canadians played with Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and a whole host of other reputable metal bands of the 80s, in fact, they heavily influenced some of them. So what happened? Well, eternal optimist Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and ever patient best bud Robb Reiner just didn't seem to get a break. Now recording their thirteenth album, 'This is Thirteen', the two not so known legends give it one last go.

Moving documentary about the internationally renowned Ballets Russes, composed of a well researched narrative and infused with illuminating, amusing anecdotes from some of the major players. The film maps the company's Diaghilev-era inception in fin-de-siecle Paris to its inevitable swan song, a history which encompasses some of the best known artists of the period including Dame Alicia Markova, Frederic Franklin, Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miro, Matisse and Stravinsky. Ballets Russes repres

In 2002 three skinheads beat a young gay man, Francois Chenu, unconscious and threw his body into a lake, where he drowned. The killers were quickly caught and the case gained both national and international notoriety. This documentary deals with the ordeal of Francois' family, their horror, anger, grief and, ultimately, forgiveness.
